A Wallet
Forged By Fire
Forged By Fire
July 26th, 2018
Sweeping through the city of Redding, CA, The Carr Fire took over 1,000 homes. One of these happened to be ours, along with our manufacturing facility that was the heart and soul of AKEENi.
Our Production
With our building and tools burnt to the ground, we didn't know what to do. The future of AKEENi seemed grim.
from the ashes
A single wallet was recovered from the ashes, where just days before the AKEENi team had just finished our first commercial run of prototypes. This gave us hope for the future.
But we had something special...
And with the help of the community, along with hundreds of backers on kickstarter, we were able to rise from the ashes and bring the product back to life.
