What Is OKAIRU?

OKAIRU start design from 2009, it is original inspired by Mighty Wallet. Mighty Wallet is very light in weight, but it is too thin and too lossy, so it cannot support the contents well and hard to use it in single hand. So I designed OKAIRU.

OKAIRU is seamless design, that means you do no require glue or seam to make it. Simply cut it out and fold it, you can get a decent transparent wallet.

P.S. the name OKAIRU come from 2 Japanese words, OKaNe (お金, money) and FaIRu (ファイル, file).
