Transparency and honesty are important to us. That's why we want to give you a look behind the scenes and tell you openly and honestly what mistakes we made on our way to the perfect Socrates wallet. Because we firmly believe that you only get better if you learn from your mistakes.
Our initial mistakes and what we learned from them
1. Missing magnetic closure
At the beginning, we didn't have a magnetic closure in our wallets. This meant that the wallets couldn't be closed securely and cards could fall out. We quickly realized that a secure closure is essential and so we integrated a high-quality magnetic closure. Now your Socrates wallet stays securely closed and your cards are protected.
2. No RFID protection
Another significant mistake was the lack of RFID protection in our card holder. This made your cards vulnerable to data theft. Data protection and security are more important than ever these days, so we have equipped our wallets with reliable RFID protection. This way, your data is always safe.
3. Stiff lever instead of button
Initially, we used a lever mechanism to lift out the seven most important cards. Unfortunately, this lever was often stiff or even broke. We replaced this mechanism with a user-friendly button that works reliably and makes it easier to access your cards.
4. PU leather instead of microfiber leather
Our first wallets were made from PU leather, which was not as durable and long-lasting as microfiber leather. By switching to high-quality microfiber leather, we have significantly improved the durability and appearance of our wallets.
5. Unreliable zipper
At the beginning we had problems with the zipper: it wasn't robust enough and the eyelet wasn't pressed tight enough in some places. This meant that the handle fell off the zipper. We then installed a more robust zipper and optimized the workmanship. Now you can rely on a durable and functional zipper.
6. Missing spacious note compartment
Initially, our wallets did not have a spacious note compartment, which meant that our customers could not store their notes safely and in an orderly manner. We have also solved this problem by integrating a spacious and easily accessible note compartment. This means that your notes are now stored safely and neatly.
Our promise to you
We have learned from these mistakes and have continued to develop. Every setback was an opportunity to improve and develop further. Today we are proud to be able to offer you a wallet that is not only functional, but also secure and durable.
Our motto is: "Those who make mistakes get better, provided they learn from them." We live by this principle at AnPa. Your satisfaction is what drives us, and we thank you for your trust and patience on this path.
Stay tuned as we continue to improve our products and evolve. Thank you for being part of this journey.
