We caught up with industrial designer Malcolm Fontier to get the lowdown on his collection of eco-friendly bags, wallets and travel cases at the New York International Gift Fair. The range is defined by it's global urban style, functionality, distinct color pallet and refreshingly, the 'green' backstory is there if you look for it—not rammed down your throat—just modestly presented as one of the many design considerations.

The mojito travel wallet (pictured) is for both the extreme minimalist and for those who want to reduce the potential risk of losing everything on a big night out by only carrying the essentials.
