Deep dives
The challenges of running a men's wallet brand
Running a men's wallet brand comes with its challenges, as the category is often overlooked and considered less important in the fashion industry. Unlike other fashion accessories like shoes or handbags, wallets don't have a dedicated culture built around them, making it harder to create a passionate customer base. Additionally, men tend to hold onto their wallets for longer periods and often receive them as gifts rather than actively purchasing them. However, despite these challenges, Ridge has managed to establish itself as a successful player in the market.
