Corby & Mackenzie Bauer
コルビー&マッケンジー
In 2014, Corby Bauer, a surfing and skateboarding enthusiast in Hawaii, lost her wallet on the beach and came up with an innovative idea while looking for a new one. The idea of an elastic wallet inspired by the elastic clasp of broccoli in the vegetable section of the supermarket is the origin of THREAD®. In 2015, he raised funds through crowdfunding, founded a company in Utah with his wife, Mckenzie, and obtained a design patent for a wallet. Centered on a wallet with a sophisticated minimalist design, we develop products such as key chains and bags that fit into active daily life. In 2019, he was selected by Forbes as one of the 500 fastest-growing startups in the United States. By 2024, the company will have seven company-managed stores and will be available in more than 1,300 stores in the United States. In the spring of 2025, we will start developing the brand in Japan.
