CONVERT TO A MINIMALIST WALLET

The minimalist wallet concept started out as a trendy movement alongside minimalism as a general lifestyle. Most fads don’t stick around for long, but minimalism seems to be bucking that trend. As a lifestyle, minimalism has become absolutely mainstream. But the concepts are not new by any means.

ANCIENT ORIGINS OF MINIMALISM

Yes, the origins of minimalism trace back to ancient times. And not like to the 1970s, either. Really ancient times, like ancient Rome.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Roman philosopher also known as Seneca the Younger, gained recognition for his writings in Latin, which consisted of essays and letters. Seneca embraced a philosophy centered around leading a purposeful and uncomplicated life, emphasizing that true happiness and contentment did not stem from material possessions. According to Seneca, the accumulation of excessive belongings could hinder the pursuit of goals and aspirations. These teachings of Seneca have resonated with minimalist individuals around the world.

The minimalist ideology continued to be influential during the Renaissance period, where simplicity was revered for its elegance. Subsequently, in the early 1900s, artists began to experiment with minimalism as an artistic concept, further popularizing the movement.

However, in recent times, minimalism has experienced a significant resurgence as a way of life. It extends beyond merely owning fewer possessions. The core idea revolves around aligning one's life with personal values and ensuring that purchases contribute to happiness and the fulfillment of goals. This may seem like a tall order for a wallet, but Trayvax offers a range of minimalist wallets that are simple, functional, reasonably priced, and built to withstand the test of time.
