Tubemap Wallets Are A Wallet AND A Map

by Willy Volk (RSS feed) on May 18th 2007 at 8:56AM

When you first see the Tubemap wallet, you'll nod your head and mutter, "Of course! Why didn't I think of that?" So simple it's brilliant, a Tubemap wallet is an "ordinary" black leather wallet that folds open to reveal a printed London Underground map inside. Not heading to London? Tubemap also makes wallets for the New York subway.

At £35 ($69), the Tubemap seems a little pricey, but if you're the kind of person who like traveling light, you'll gladly pay for dual-purpose gear. With space for loads of cash and 8 cards, this will be one wallet you'll really cry over if it gets snatched.

I was just about to comment on the genius of the map and then it struck me. As a tourist I hate getting a map out - it shows everyone I am a tourist and makes me a target.

How much worse would it be if my map also contained all of my cash.

It'd never leave my pocket. I wouldn't dare.

Back to the drawing board.
