“A woman should have the right to do any sort of work she wants to, provided she can do it.”
- Constance Kopp
Forging the first of its kind.
When I searched for womens badge wallet on Google, all I could find were mens bi-fold wallets in “girly” colors like pink and turquoise. I could not believe that nothing better was available for us.
I was after a badge wallet that was chic, professional, and could hold all that a law enforcement woman needed. We still grocery shop, put on heels for a night out, go to the gym, and get our nails done. So I designed this wallet that allowed women to seamlessly and inconspicuously embrace our identity as a lady sheepdog wearing any outfit and in any setting.
As female cops, we have many problems to solve. I hope this wallet has solved one of ours.
God bless and stay safe,

For us.
Criminals don’t care that the female’s anatomy is different from our male partners. They will not slow down for us to catch up or take a second longer to draw their own weapon at us. The unconscious civilian in a burning car cannot change their deadweight just because we are a woman…
…Which is what has led to me to become a firm believer that women in law enforcement should be treated equally. Our standards for fitness should be the same as men. Our marksmanship should be inarguably as sharp. We should have those expectations of ourselves, and we should be extremely proud of the work we put in.
I started my law enforcement career in the police academy like any other officer. Toeing the line against 47 other recruits, I won the Top Shot Award. I knew that it was an uncommon image for a woman to be holding that kind of trophy. That early accomplishment served as a valuable launching pad into this profession, knowing that women can honorably wear the badge— earned and respected.
We certainly know this responsibility is not for everyone and we must sacrifice more to achieve the same as our male counterparts. I am convinced however that we do not need excuses, and not for a moment must we sacrifice our femininity.
“The first prototype of the badge wallet I ever made was with an empty bag of coffee beans. My cousin who is an industrial designer said to me, ‘Every great design idea needs to be tested with a mock up.’ After finishing my cup of coffee, I grabbed the empty bag of beans, snipped it up and taped it back together.”
Our Brand Origin
In honor of Deputy Sheriff Constance Kopp
The world would have it that when our company sought out a name to capture the essence our brand, Miss Constance Ameile Kopp would reveal her own so fitting.
In 1915, at the age of thirty five, Miss Kopp became the first female under sheriff in America out of Hackensack, New Jersey.
Chronicled in newspapers as the sheriff who was not afraid to engage in a gun fight, arrest burly fugitives, dive into frigid waters to save an escaped prisoner, and smile yet so softly with a sense of humor. Thus we honor Deputy Sheriff Kopp for the example she set forth as a brave, unapologetically feminine, all-American police officer.
