For the Internet retailer, Red Envelope, GTD was asked to design a compact, contemporary men's valet. It was to have very basic functions and simplicity of use. The designer explored many shapes and design features. The final design was based on a "wedge" shape, facing the two primary functions towards the user.

The front feature was a leather lined, back angled "scoop" for a wallet, keys and change. The angle assured ease of use and keeping these daily used items within the valet. The covered storage behind is lined and meant for small valuables, not necessarily used every day.
