Money clip ¥25,300 View product

This minimalist money clip from Maison de Hiroan is made from high-quality embossed cowhide leather. It features a rich texture, a lustrous finish, and vibrant colors, and its slim profile, achieved through a flat application of the leather, is a must-see. While called a money clip, its key feature is its enhanced coin pocket capacity.

Bi-fold wallet: 74,800 yen

This classic bifold wallet, featuring luxurious Horween's "Shell Cordovan" leather even on the interior, can hold banknotes, coins, and cards. Cordovan, rich in oil, boasts a soft luster and texture, and is characterized by its natural finish, which even reveals the traces of pores and capillaries known as pinholes. You can fully appreciate the changes in color and sheen as it becomes more supple and comfortable in your hand.

To fully appreciate the suppleness of the cordovan leather, which is supple enough to be used for the interior of a billfold, no core material is used, and the edges are finished with a cut-edge technique where the leather on the front and back is cut in the same place and the cut surface is polished. The use of the same material and color for both the exterior and interior gives it a chic and understated look.

This bifold wallet, made with English bridle leather—a new staple from Wild Swans—exudes a thick, rugged feel. While bridle leather often has a reputation for being stiff, English bridle leather has a texture that is very soft and supple while retaining just the right amount of firmness. It is also very resistant to bending and stretching, and is less prone to cracking on the grain side of the leather, which is often seen in stiff bridle leather.

This mini wallet, designed by a Japanese designer, is made in Italy by L'arcobaleno and features brightly colored goat leather. Goat leather is known for being lightweight, having fine fibers, and excellent durability. Despite its compact size, it offers convenient features such as card slots, a coin purse, and a free pocket. It's also perfect as a second wallet.
