Admit it – wallets are a pain to carry whether you’re just heading to the gym or attending a formal dinner. There just isn’t always the luxury of bags or pockets deep enough to stuff a Twinky-sized pouch. – Besides, do we really need a dozen different gift cards and a blizzard of receipts everywhere we go?
No, we don’t. And no more do we have to deal with all that tumor-forming, outfit-ruining baggage. I present to you, my friend: the XS wallet.
Handcrafted from pleather (no cows killed) and colourful, durable elastics, the XS wallet easily fits into the palm of your hand (and the pocket of your jeans!).
The pleather pouch safely stores coins, cash, USB’s, and even lip balms, while the multiple layers of elastics keep all the cards you’ll need within reach. (Seriously. It holds over twenty cards. I tried.)
While it may not replace your heavy-duty all-purpose clutch, some people I know actually use it more often than they do their old traditional wallets. And as if that’s not enough, 50% of the proceeds to to charity. We believe that businesses don’t have to be evil, and we want to give back to the community that supported us.
If you haven’t guessed by now, XS is actually a youth-owned, youth-ran company, supported by volunteer mentors of Junior Achievement Southern Alberta. 25% of the earnings go back to Junior Achievement to support more youth worldwide learn to become entrepreneurs (you could be one of them next October!)
We have also partnered with Free the Children, who get another 25% of our profits. We want to youth like us in other parts of the world to have the education and opportunities to achieve their goals, too.
If you’re in town on February 16th, the XS team will be at South Centre Mall for the annual Company Program Trade Show! Come visit us and all the other youth-ran companies that have been taking over Calgary these past few months. (Find out what JA is really about… who knows, you might decide to become the president of one next year!)
