Maxx&Unicorn Co.

Based in Brooklyn, Maxx&Unicorn Co. designs attractive and practical goods that can be used on a daily basis. One of the brand’s early pieces, a bifold wallet, initially attracted our attention. However, today in addition to wallets, the brand offers money clips, keyrings, and catch-all trays for keeping EDC tidy and accessible at home or work.

Oh yes. We’re doing it!

That’s right, we’re lifting Carryology beyond the digital world, and bringing it to life in bricks and mortar, to launch a temporary concept store, located in Melbourne, Australia.

You see, we believe – as I’m sure you all do too – that the ‘carry’ space is underserved; the items we carry influence our lives more than most are aware, and with this concept store we’ll place carry atop a pedestal, to be showcased and celebrated – think retail boutique, meets gallery, meets community hub. One radical space dedicated to the things we carry.

We’ll be curating the world’s best brands under the one roof. Showcasing carry from across the globe, from the likes of Bedouin Foundry, Trakke, Mission Workshop, Mystery Ranch, Côte&Ciel, Teranishi, QWSTIONMakr, Lexdray, GORUCK, Gregory, Rivendell Mountain Works, RAWROW, Alchemy Equipment, Tanner Goods…we could go on (but it’s not cool to keep on name-dropping like this!).

Exciting, right? We know! 🙂

And don’t stress if you’re not a Melbournite or can’t get here via plane or one-man submarine, because we’ll be chronicling the whole adventure along the way. Follow the story on social or visit our store’s site and plug in your email to get all of the important updates: like launch and event details, and special offers, and all that good stuff.

Stay tuned. So much more to come!

Follow the @CarryologyStore on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

Coins have a bit of a bad rep in the carry world – they dig into you when wedged in your pocket, they scratch your other carry items, and they announce your presence with a distinct clink-clink-clink that can get aggravating, fast. But perhaps it’s an unfair reputation. After all, in some places, like Europe and Japan, coins are a necessity, and in others they’re simply personal preferences rather than having to use a card or cash all the time. So maybe it’s simply a case of finding the right way to carry them. That’s why we’ve rounded up a selection of some of the best wallets to carry coins, with good looks, slim designs and functionality front and center…
 .

Comme Des Garçons SA3100 Classic Leather Wallet

Comme Des Garçons Classic Leather Wallet

Understated and elegantly practical, this slim leather wallet has a zipped closure for keeping the contents safe and secure. A central interior pocket doubles as a divider, creating space for coins, cards and cash. Pared back and refined in design, this wallet adds classic style to a night out and looks equally smart during a business meeting.

Great for: …easily organizing your cards, coins and bills without adding unnecessary bulk to your pocket.

Tailfeather New Holland (Coin)

Simply pinch the pouch open to easily tip out the coins. The vegetable-tanned leather wears well over time, continuing to look good even with regular use, and a flap closure with a latch secures the contents while you’re on the go.

Great for: …keeping coins flat to reduce bulk, quickly accessible when you need them, and secure when you don’t.

Abrasus Wallet

Abrasus Wallet

Rather than placing a coin pocket within the main interior of a wallet and risking a bulky profile, Abrasus takes a different approach with this thoughtful design. The coin pocket is situated on the side of the wallet in order to keep the profile as slim as possible. Additional features include dedicated space for cards and bills, and even a pocket for a key.

Great for: …easily organizing and accessing your small daily essentials without the compromise of a large and bulky wallet weighing you down.
