Kamino, the independent wallet brand known for its beautifully folded origami wallets, has taken an unusual - and refreshingly generous - step. They now offer free downloadable templates of their popular slim wallet designs, allowing anyone to make their own from home. Donations are optional, making this a rare example of a brand openly sharing its craft without strings attached.
The templates are designed for upcycling everyday paper waste into functional, minimalist wallets. Kamino suggests experimenting with materials like old notepad covers, sturdy magazine covers, or cardboard. The process is as much about creativity as it is about function, folding methods may need to be adapted depending on the material, which Kamino sees as part of the fun.
I find came across Kamino back in 2022 where i had the opporunity to review the Kamino Wrap Wallet. These origami style walelts really changed my perspective of what a wallet can be - and to my suprise - it was one of my faviourite wallets i reviewed that year.
In their own products, Kamino uses a unique “washable paper” material, something durable yet lightweight, which can often be found in craft stores. For DIY enthusiasts, sourcing similar materials or reusing what’s already around the home can turn an ordinary scrap into a stylish, functional paper wallet.
The brand encourages people to share and adapt their designs. If you want to use the templates for community workshops, school projects, or other non-profit activities, Kamino is fully supportive. They even welcome makers who create something special and wish to sell it, asking only that they reach out to discuss conditions first.
By giving away their designs for free, Kamino isn’t just helping people create wallets; they’re promoting sustainable practices and encouraging creativity. It’s a rare move in an industry where designs are usually guarded closely, and it speaks volumes about their ethos. In a world of fast fashion and disposable goods, Kamino’s DIY approach offers a way to lighten your load - and the planet’s - one fold at a time.
