Introduction
I realised that there are no perfect wallets. It is only perfect if its suits the needs of the user. Introducing the Zen Bifold Wallet, a pattern that allows you to build it the way you want it. The wallet features a 3-card panel on the left and a hidden slip pocket behind it. You could also add a zipper pocket on the right with a slip pocket right behind. Alternatively, you may replace the zipper pocket with another panel of card slots if you do not want to carry change around. Need more cards organisation? Simply add in a middle flap. The middle flap features a clear ID Window, two card slots and two slip pockets. For the minimal packers, you have the option to drop the middle flap, making the wallet slimmer and more compact than ever.
