    Please consider making something like your micro-wallet that works primarily for cash, credit cards and a few other important cards ( insurance cards) but with a ring. I like to secure my wallet on a strap in my purse or back pack so I don’t have to worry about leaving it behind. (The older I get, the more comfort there is with that security LOL). I can find a variety of small wallets, but not with a ring. Your products are great!
    PLEASE HELP :-)

    Mare - November 16, 2022

    Will you be making the Freudian slip for the swift this season? And or other swift accessories

    TOM BIHN replied:
    Hi Mare! No Swift Freudian Slips or other accessories in the works right now—we’ll see what happens in the future though!
