Flowfold is an American brand creating wallets, bags, and other outdoor gear. Their motto is "Minimalist Gear for Everyday Adventures".

History

[edit]

In 2005, Charles Friedman invented the first Flowfold wallets. In high school at the time, he built prototypes out of scrap sailcloth.[1] Later, when Friedman was attending the University of Maine, he passed the idea on to his company.[clarification needed] They then went on to produce and market the product as the Flowfold wallet.

The first Flowfold products were hand-crafted by Friedman himself. In 2010, Lifethereal[clarification needed] produced upwards of 500 wallets.[1]

The current Flowfold logo was designed in 2011.

Current products

[edit]

Flowfold makes a variety of products, notably billfold and trifold wallets. Their newest products include iPad sleeves and laptop cases.[2][needs update]
