Flowfold is a brand name for Lifethereal's line of reclaimed sailcloth wallets and related fashion accessories.

History

The first Flowfold was invented by Charles Friedman in 2005 who later used the name as the brand name of carrying accessories produced by his company Lifethereal. The prototype product was built from scrap sailcloth by Friedman during high school[1]. Friedman, a University of Maine student at the time, passed the idea on to his company who then went on to produce and market the product as the Flowfold.

The first Flowfold products were hand-crafted by Friedman himself. In 2010, Lifethereal produced upwards of 500 wallets.[1]

The current Flowfold logo was designed in 2011.

Current products

Lifethereal makes a variety of different products under the Flowfold brand. These include Flowfold billfold and trifold wallets. Their newest products include iPad sleeves and laptop computer cases.[2]

Manufacturing facilities are located in Lewiston, Maine[1]
