Our Story

Our Story

It started more than ten years ago, with two brothers in college who were convinced the world's wallets were badly designed. They built one that brought your cards up with a single pull, and 3,060 people who had never met them backed it on crowdfunding before it existed.

That was the first Speed Wallet™. Everything since has come from the same idea: take the materials, technology and engineering of worlds where failure isn't an option, put them into the things you carry every day, and hide all of it behind a clean design.

So the Speed Backpack™ carries two patents. Our GLIDESPEED luggage rolls on professional racing wheels, the kind skaters use when a world championship comes down to a millimeter. Our wallets and bags are made by hand, in full-grain leather from a tannery in northern Italy or in military-grade ballistic nylon.

Camilo Mejía Plata, our founder and designer, is a racing driver, a private pilot and a civil engineer. Those worlds show up in every product, mostly in details you feel before you see them.

Today, more than 200,000 customers in over 150 countries carry The Frenchie Co.

Nobody needs this much engineering in a wallet or a suitcase. We do it anyway, because the easy version already exists, everywhere.

Almost nobody will notice. You will.

    I bought the SPEED KEY six years ago because I was immediately drawn to its sleek design and thoughtful functionality.

    When it first arrived, I was a little concerned about its durability, but I’m still using it today without any issues. Whenever I take it out, people often tell me how nice it looks.

    It seems this style of wallet is no longer available, but I still haven’t found anything in Japan that combines such a sleek design with this level of functionality. I would be very happy if you decided to bring it back. If that’s not possible, I hope to keep having it repaired and continue using it for as long as I can.

    Thank you for making such a great product.

    I like my leather backpack (titanium buckles) and got a second one (nylon) for my son. Took a while to get used to all the compartments and my wife was laughing at me at the beginning, because I was opening too often the wrong zipper.Top quality and really nice style. Even when being underdressed, the backpack is in style. Best is the hidden compartment in the flap. Love your stuff and will be coming back.
    Just an idea – Might it be possible to personalize luggage from you with a small name embroidery in the same color as the material?

    GlideSpeed worst carry-on I’ve ever tried. One of the wheels came completely off on my first trip, after just a few days.

    The Frenchie Co refused to honor the warranty, which is 5 years for the carbon fiber version.

    It is disrespectful to consumers not to offer quality products nor even the minimum warranty. Do not buy any luggage here.

    Amo mi AirTag speed wallet mini. Ya necesito una nueva pero no encuentro lo que quiero, me encantaría una speed wallet mini con bolsillo, de hecho existe, pero es de la colección aroma, no la fabrican en color negro…porque forma parte de una colección para mujer solamente (supongo) esto entonces deja en entredicho lo de “la mentalidad del cliente primero” porque he hecho la solicitud y me han dicho que no harán esa cartera en color negro. Adicionalmente me encantaría que el imán con el que cierra la cartera fuera MagSafe, aportaría una practicidad tremenda, esto claro todavía no lo hacen, existen otras carteras que ya tienen el MagSafe pero no me convencen, esta cartera me convence pero puede mejorar, podría ser perfecta. Seguiré con mi cartera esperando a que algún día puedan ofrecer el producto que busco. La compraría aún sin MagSafe, solo con bolsillo, pero no en los colores actuales.

    Quisiera revisar el status de mi orden number 81417. Revisando desde la app shope aun aparace sin movimientos, me gustaria revisar que esta pasando ya que la compra menciona un tiempo de envio de 3 a 5 dias y han pasado ya más. Espero su apoyo!
    Gracias
