Christopher: Hey everybody, it’s Chris, at the
Green Festival. I’m joined with Bridget.
Bridget: Hello.
Christopher: And Bridget’s sister.
Bridget: McKenzie.
McKenzie: Hello.
Christopher: And we’re here to put an end to “wallet-butt.” You know what I’m
talking about. Bridget, tell me a little bit about your product.
Bridget: So, we’re called ALL-ETT Billfolds, it’s the world’s thinnest wallet.
It’s made of 100% recyclable ripstop nylon, same thing they make parachutes and
sailboat sails out of. It stays extremely thin, as you can see. This one has
twenty cards in it. Pretty amazing. Um, oh my god, I can’t do this. (laughs)
Christopher: It’s super-chic. So how did you get into this? Is this a product
you’ve been working on for a while?
Bridget: Actually, the company’s been around for about fourteen years now, and
it’s my family’s company, so it’s pretty fun.
Christopher: I love that. Is it passed down generationally, or is it just
something that…?
Bridget: Actually, no. My family bought the company a few years ago, and my
parents actually met the past owners on an airplane. So, they were tired and we
took over and it’s a great company. We have biodegradable wallets, recyclable
wallets.
Christopher: So they’re eco-friendly?
Bridget: Yes.
Christopher: Are they made of a recyclable material? I know you mentioned what
they’re made of but can you explain to us…?
Bridget: Yes, they have recycled material in, uh, in the… material (laughs), and
they’re 100% recyclable. They’re extremely sustainable, also; you can use them
for years upon years. Actually, somebody—yesterday, here—that was carrying our
wallet for eight years and he did not need to get a new one, it was still in
perfect shape.
Christopher: I love that idea. I think I might demonstrate what it’s like to end
wallet-butt. Can I do that now? So here’s, uh, my end to wallet-butt. Look at—!
It’s hardly perceptible. I mean, the butt, too. This is great. Bridget, could you
say one last thing for us? Could you say “Peace, love, and green” right at the
camera?
Bridget: Peace, love, and green. ALL-ETT Billfolds, www.thinnestwallet.com,

Christopher: Sell it, Bridget!
