Blak Bambu Wallets

For many years I searched for a wallet that carried everything I needed, but in a smaller form than anything I could find. Minimal wallets started to come out, but they were made of plastic or metal. I couldn’t find anything in a classic, understated style. So I created Blak Bambu.

For years I studied, researched, and refined the design before starting a crowdfunding campaign. It turned out exactly the way I envisioned it. Although the campaign wasn’t a success, I learned a lot along the way about designing, sourcing, marketing, and crowdfunding a retail product.

So many people along the way helped me, and I am grateful to each and every one of them for all they contributed to Blak Bambu. Many thanks to:

Kelly Brunton for creative direction on the crowdfunding campaign’s video.
Clement Chan for his advice on sourcing and working with suppliers.
Keith Robson for his business advice and for introducing me to Clement Chan.
Dean Rud for the excellent design of the Blak Bambu logo.
Mark Suchland for his excellent photography skills.
And of course all of my friends, family, supporters, and crowdfunding backers. You all offered great feedback, advice, and kept me driven towards working towards making Blak Bambu a reality.
