About this project
The Lucca Bozzi Solar Wallet is a modern interpretation of the classic bi-fold wallet, bettering your everyday by providing +10 extra hours of charge when you need it most - without taking up any of your personal space.
Fused with cutting-edge technology, Solar Wallet integrates intelligent circuitry, charging cables and a renewable energy source, while maintaining the traditional beauty of an Italian wallet.
The most frequently carried daily devices are your phone and wallet. Your phone has consistently evolved over the past years. Why hasn't your wallet?
Our focus has been creating a beautiful, timeless design while also working with the world's best engineers to perfect a piece the majority of the world carries daily.
In the 21st century we all have more than one device needing charge. Extend your devices' battery life up to 10 hours with Solar Wallet.
In a time where we rely on our tech more every day, we have created a wallet that gives you the power to charge your devices at your own free will.
Solar Wallet is a hybrid of intelligent technology and elegant design that easily becomes the centerpiece of your everyday carry.
Reshape your experience with charging devices. Our wallet utilizes a high performance & ultra thin Li-Polymer battery, in a patent pending casing construction, made out of similar materials as the iPhone. With the stow-away compartment, your cable goes unnoticed and hassle-free.
Cultivate renewable energy through any light source, e.g. the sun coming through windows of your home and even the lightbulbs in the workplace. Comprised of flexible polycrystalline cells, our wallet's solar component offers yet another source for battery life.
Intelligent Charge - we've incorporated advanced circuitry in the main internal board of the battery, allowing you to charge both your phone and wallet at the same time. Solar Wallet automatically prioritizes charging your phone via pass-through charge and intelligently detects when it's full in order to transfer charge to your wallet.
Android to Apple - have an Apple device and wish you could use your friend's Android charger? With pass-through charge you can use a Micro-USB cable (wire provided) to charge your wallet, and plug your Apple device using the integrated Lightning cable in the Solar Wallet. Problem solved!
Quick-Access - we use one card 35% of the time. Why should you have to dig through your wallet every time? Reach your favorite card with one easy swipe.
Money clip - you can have your cake and eat it too. With a money clip for cash storage and 8 cards in your wallet, you never have to worry about what to leave behind.
Your passport contains the most sensitive information about you. Theft occurs daily and no longer has to be solely physical. With RFID skimmers, thieves can collect your information simply by walking next to you.
Protect yourself from contactless data and identity theft with our beautiful RFID protected passport holder hand-crafted by skilled artisans.
It's simple: Moore's Law
Ever notice how devices keep getting thinner? This is essentially what Moore's Law is (how overall processing power of devices doubles every two years). The rapid progression of processor technology allows us to have thinner and thinner devices, packed with more features. However, we as a society are not progressing in battery development nearly as fast as processor development. Thus this happens all too frequently:
The growth of publicly available charging stations where people charge their multiple devices that have run out of power is not a mere coincidence...
Why? Our devices have grown in capability and thus require more charge to stay on. But why get stuck in a corner (i.e. at a charging station), when you can charge freely on-the-go at anytime?
We hate overpaying for nice wallets. So we cut out the middlemen, bettered the quality, and offered you the best wallet you'll ever have.
We use the finest quality hand-dressed calf leather - it’s so soft, you’ll wish you had it as a pillow to sleep at night.
Credit card skimming and identity theft are a serious issue in today's world. We want you to be safe. Share our campaign on Facebook and we'll send you a free RFID passport holder to protect you from electronic data theft.

Our solar panels yield 40% more efficiency than industry-standard panels, meaning more charge for you, in less time. With our patented design, we are able to protect the solar panel by utilizing flexible solar cells and adding an an extra storage component that automatically covers the panel and gives you quick thumb access to your favorite card.
After years in meticulous development, we've finally come to a breakthrough... Harness the power of the light anywhere you are, with a piece you already carry daily. On our journey we had only one goal in mind: fuse together that what you bring everyday, with what you wish you brought everyday. The result of years of hard work is here.
Trust us to make the last wallet you'll ever dream of.
Risks and challenges
We've spent the past two years perfecting the hardware and design of Solar Wallet. Our manufacturer is already locked in and after numerous rounds of prototyping, we've finalized our approved sample and are ready to start production.
Scale manufacturing does have challenges associated with it. Negating production delays is a top priority for us. Our team has worked with various manufacturers before and have visited them on-site, performed individual QC checks and are fully prepared to ensure that we get Solar Wallet shipped out by December 2017.
With your help, we'll get off the ground running after the Kickstarter campaign and begin our production run to get Solar Wallet to you as soon as humanly possible. Thank you.
