🧂Ingredients for Success
- These are money cushion and money wallet merchandise made from real “money,” creatively repurposing currency byproducts.
- With the aim of preserving coins that are no longer in circulation forever, we incorporated 500-won coin designs into the money cushion and 100-won coin designs into the money wallet.
📝Key Recipe
- We highlighted the fact that 2025 is the first year in which coins for circulation (500 won, 100 won, etc.) were not issued, and by offering them in limited quantities, we sparked collectors’ desire to own them.
- The design captures both the environmental value of recycling currency byproducts and the playful element of the “money cushion” concept.
- With its zippered, detachable design, this innovative product doesn’t compromise on practicality.
➡️ If you’re brainstorming a product concept, why not turn the story behind the product’s creation into a narrative?
🙋 A Word from the wadiz Team
The concept created synergy by clearly presenting a reason to collect the product while tapping into the desire to “become wealthy in the new year.”
When designing a selling point, the most important thing is to take a deep look into the product’s planning process. Just like these traditional-style goods made from discarded currency byproducts, finding a narrative that only our brand can possess makes the product truly compelling.
