KIN is a special smart wallet that solves an age old problem: Sorting coins from notes.

This means that with this wallet, you go from this:

Have you ever experienced the embarrassment of holding up the queue from keeping change?

 

To this.

Yes, this wallet allows you to throw all your change in -- literally -- and it magically appears in the in-built pouch of the accessory.

It's water resistant. Say goodbye to spills and stains.

KIN is water resistant and built to last with state of the art industrial materials.

What's more, even with nine cards in it, it looks sleek, unlike normal wallets, which easily bulk up, looking like they're going to implode.

Many of you have asked us how thick KIN would be with cards. Here's a comparison of the wallets filled with 9 cards!

KIN was launched on crowdfunding site Kickstarter on Nov. 1, 2016, created by Singapore-based designers Cheryl Ho, Lim Li Xue, and Ng Ai Ling from Studio KIN.

At that point of time, they were aiming to raise a mere S$4,000 to meet the minimum order quantities for manufacturing.

Little did they know, they would hit not just 100 percent, or 1,000 percent, or 2,000 percent -- but nearly 5,000 percent of their original goal, by raising a cool S$196,719.

Many different sites have given glowing, raving reviews about the design as well.

Oh, if you're looking to buy one of these wallets to replace your old, flaking purse, do note they'll be much more expensive when they're available for sales in the near future : Around US$30 - US$40 (S$43 - S$57), to be exact.

However, if you manage to snag a Kickstarter backer reward before their Dec 1. deadline (the cheapest tier with a KIN wallet as a reward has already been taken), you still can get one with a minimum of a S$40 pledge to the cause.
