Luxury goods maker Dunhill has designed a “virtually indestructible” wallet that uses a biometric fingerprint scanner to deter muggers and pickpockets.
According to Dunhill, the wallet is constructed using a “highly durable carbon fiber that will resist all but the most concerted effort to open it.” The wallet will only open when the owner’s fingerprint is verified using a scanner similar to those currently on many laptops.
Additional security features include a Bluetooth sensor that can be synced to any Bluetooth enabled mobile device. If the wallet is more than fifteen feet away from the mobile device, it will sound an alarm alerting the owner that the wallet has been taken away.
The wallet is only available for purchase through Dunhill’s “personal shopper” service and costs $825.
