MW-23 LI-BKV [BLACK]

[COMPACT WALLET]

With the shift to a cashless society, small wallets are gaining increasing attention.
We realized that small wallets can actually be useful in many more situations than previously thought.

Outdoor activities like fishing and camping
Going out in a suit
International travel, etc...

Small yet easy to use, and small yet highly visible.
Thanks to the thinness and suppleness of the horse saddle leather, it doesn't bulge when placed in a pocket.
It has become a compact wallet that is convenient to have.

-Horse Saddle Leather BLACK VINTAGE-
Commissioned from Shinki Hikaku, whose philosophy is to manage all processes from tanning, dyeing, and finishing in-house.
Recognized worldwide for its history, love, and pride in horse leather, it is 100% vegetable-tanned pit leather.
Even in modern times where efficiency is prioritized, they continue to use pit tanning for horse saddle leather, which is the most time-consuming process.
Please enjoy the firm yet supple feel, the beautifully polished edges, and the deepening luster with use, all characteristic of pit-tanned horse saddle leather.

Masterful dyeing technique
The complex dyeing of this Black Vintage is created by first dyeing the core of the horse saddle leather with a brownish base color without soaking the dye through, and then dyeing it with a transparent black color.

Masterful finishing technique
After applying a thick luster through glazing, a揉み (momi) process is performed to create wrinkles and a whitish effect.
The揉み (momi) process brings out a richer expression of the grain surface due to the differences in fiber quality in each part.

Horse Saddle Leather Black Vintage, which incorporates the wonderful inherent qualities of horse saddle leather and the extensive techniques of Shinki Hikaku, who have long worked with horse leather.
Each item is meticulously crafted based on production standards aimed at maximizing the potential of this horse saddle leather.
