Although similar in concept this product is larger in scale than the paperboard versions. This product was the initial design that launched the line. The product was conceived over a laser cutter in 2008, trademarked and copyrighted in 2009 and went through dozens of variations over the following 8 years.

This product remained a signature item produced in very limited quantities. Initial collaboration with Barneys Department Store.
