MW-22 SH-GRV [BLACK]

[MIDDLE WALLET]

This wallet offers storage capacity and functionality comparable to a long wallet, yet is sized to be inconspicuous when placed in a back pocket.
It has been over 20 years since this size of wallet was created.
After various improvements, the MIDDLE WALLET, now known as MW-22, still reigns supreme.
When you hold it in your hand,
When you put it in your pocket,
It just feels right.
It's just the right size.
The MW-22 embodies the thought and functionality encapsulated in its "medium" size, now fused with horse leather.
Please enjoy it.

-SHARK-
There are over 500 species of sharks worldwide, distributed from shallow tropical and temperate seas to the deep sea across the globe.
More than 100 species inhabit the waters near Japan.
Of these, only about 20 species can be used for leather.
This product uses blue shark leather.

-Horse Nume GRAY VINTAGE-
Commissioned to Shinki Hikaku, whose philosophy is to manage all processes from tanning, dyeing, to finishing in-house.
This is a 100% vegetable-tanned pit leather, recognized globally, based on their history, love, and pride for horse leather.
Even in modern times where efficiency is prioritized, they continue the tradition of pit-tanning horse leather, which is the most time-consuming method.
Please enjoy the firm yet flexible feel, the lustrous polished edges, and the increasing depth of luster with use, all characteristic of pit-tanned horse leather.

New Gray Vintage - One Year in the Making
The horse Nume Gray vintage was realized through the exceptional techniques of Shinki Hikaku.
After approximately a year of prototyping since last year, Shinki Hikaku has addressed all issues found in the prototype samples.

・The firmness of the Nume fibers has been finished for wallets and small goods, differing from finishes for apparel or bags.
・The adhesion between the grain and flesh sides has increased, resulting in a firm horse Nume leather.

This has resulted in an ideal horse Nume leather finish with minimal grain lift.

The Horse Nume Gray Vintage incorporates the wonderful inherent qualities of horse Nume leather and the extensive techniques of Shinki Hikaku, who have long conversed with horse leather. Each item is produced with a manufacturing standard built to maximize the utilization of this horse Nume leather.

*Each product in Gray Vintage will have a unique shade of gray and subtle variations in texture.
We hope you enjoy these individual characteristics as part of the leather's charm.
