Inside the wings

Fold on the thorax. The left wing holds cards. Cash sits on the spine. Coin zips into the right wing. Keys hang from the head.

  • Four card slots

    Landscape pockets with a 16 mm reveal. A standard 86 × 54 mm card seats fully in the back slot.

  • Cash sleeve

    Centered on the body. Fold bills in half — US notes become 78 mm and slip in cleanly.

  • Coin pouch

    A 7 cm zipper on the right wing. Optional boxed corners give it a little volume.

  • Key loop

    A 10 mm fabric loop sewn into the head seam. Slide a split ring on after turning.
