XC 921 Handmade Foldable Eyewear Case
XC 921 is a handmade foldable eyewear case at 160 x 60 x 57 mm. Flat-packed it ships and stores at a fraction of the volume of a rigid case, then folds into a triangular body that holds its shape around the frame. For brands shipping cases internationally the freight difference between folded and rigid is usually larger than the unit price difference.
