-JACURUXY-
Jacuruxy belongs to the lizard family.
The oval dorsal scales running from its head to its back resemble the back of a crocodile.
Its belly has scale patterns similar to other lizards.
Due to its unique pattern, it is also known as the Caiman Lizard.
It primarily inhabits Brazil and Guyana in South America, but Jacuruxy leather has now become difficult to obtain.
Jacuruxy leather large enough to make a long wallet is even rarer.


-Horse Nume BLACK VINTAGE-
Commissioned to Shinki Hikaku, whose philosophy is to manage all processes from tanning, dyeing, to finishing in-house.
Recognized globally for its history, love, and pride in horse leather, it uses 100% vegetable-tanned pit tanning.
Even in modern times where efficiency is prioritized, they continue the pit tanning of horse leather, which is the most time-consuming process.
Please enjoy the firm yet flexible texture, the polished edges that shine with simple buffing, and the increasing depth of luster with use, which are all characteristics of pit-tanned horse leather.

Mastery of Dyeing Technique
Without allowing the dye to penetrate the core of the horse leather, the base color is dyed a brown hue, and then a translucent black is applied over it, creating the complex dyeing that produces the unique color of this Black Vintage.

Mastery of Finishing Technique
After achieving a thick luster through glazing, a揉み加工 (crumpling process) is applied to create wrinkles and a whitish effect.
The crumpling process reveals a richer expression of the grain surface due to differences in fiber quality in different parts of the leather.

Horse Nume Black Vintage, a product of Shinki Hikaku's generous application of their wonderful horse leather qualities and decades of experience working with horse hide.
Each item is meticulously crafted based on manufacturing standards developed to maximize the potential of this horse Nume leather.

T-bar & Silver ring
A T-bar, a Maniholo-esque embellishment, makes a long-awaited return to the middle wallet.
Originally conceived for attaching a wallet chain, it became a Maniholo eye-catcher and helped many people discover MANIFOLD.
The Silver Ring features our original silver ring adorned with the nostalgic "Maniholo Concho."
