About Us
In 2010 an epic backpacking adventure around South America first posed the problem:
How could I keep my phone TO hand but not IN my hand?... and so the idea of The Original Wrist Pocket was born.
Role on 10 years after initial design concept:
I was a commercial pilot, mom of 3 small boys and decided to take a risk, leaving my flying job behind to bring the Original Wrist Pocket to life.
That same year, The Original Wrist Pocket bagged me a place (excuse the pun!) at the finals of Ireland's Best Young Entrepreneur. In 2021 more exciting news arrived in the form of winning Virgin Media's Backing Business campaign! It's been a whirlwind adventure, resulting in the opening of offices + a fulfilment centre here in Dungarvan, Co.Waterford.
In 2023, we launched our best selling luxury Travel Cubes made from recycled PET plastic bottles - which sold out in less than two months! - our handy Phone Lanyards, and just in time for Christmas, our Hot + Cold Travel Tumblers.
Our mission is to empower people through fashionable and functional products that will assist them in living a safe and carefree life.
