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.

    En 2019 los vi, me enamoré de las billeteras (solo uso las pequeñas), mi novia me regaló la primera en color verde, después de un par de años la volví a comprar por el desgaste y que creen? La compré en color verde, luego otra en nylon balístico, ahora en este aniversario recordé las palabras de la mamá Frenchie, una para cada semana, y así lo hice! Gracias señores, ninguna billetera en el mundo mundial los superará! A todos los invito a comprar la marca! Son Maravillosas!

    Are any of the wallets made without leather? They say nylon which I am looking for but also mention leather which I won’t buy.

    Hello, is it possible to add the optional pocket onto the men’s version of the speed wallet? Alternatively will you provide men’s colors for the aroma collection? Thanks!
