[ROUND FASTENER WALLET] with T-bar & Silver ring

It has been more than 10 years since we started producing round fastener wallets.
The round fastener, which has become an indispensable standard item,
is made of horse hide, resulting in a smart yet light wallet that doesn't compromise on storage capacity.
The exterior design is based on the connection between curves and the connection between curves and the apex.
When you start using it with contents inside, the finished form of this wallet will first become apparent.

The beauty of its form stands out precisely because of its simplicity.
Adorned with a T-bar and Silver ring,
the fine texture and lightness of the horse hide
give it a new presence, once again...

-RING LIZARD-
Ring-marked lizard leather is loved worldwide, including by famous European brands, for its beautiful and regular scale pattern.
Its main habitats are Malaysia and Indonesia, where many live in vast oil palm plantations.
With the aim of maintaining the ecosystem, the annual catch and export quantities are determined for distribution, contributing to the revitalization of the regional economy.
Locally, the meat is used for Chinese cuisine, the internal organs for traditional Chinese medicine, and the hides for leather products such as wallets and bags, using every part of the animals' lives.

Himalayan Finish

This piece is a product in which the familiar "Himalayan finish" for crocodile was attempted on lizard leather from its raw state.
By half-bleaching the natural ring pattern, an elegant finish is achieved.
Similar to the Himalayan finish for crocodile, no dyes or pigments are used, and the greatest appeal of the Himalayan finish lizard is its natural colors and patterns from carefully selected raw hides.
We were impressed by the tanners' efforts to take on new challenges.
Please enjoy the beauty of the ring pattern that subtly emerges from the beautiful white of the abdomen towards the back.

-Horse Nume GRAY VINTAGE-
Commissioned to Shinki Hikaku, whose philosophy is to manage all processes from tanning, dyeing, to finishing in-house.
Their 100% vegetable tannin pit tanning is recognized worldwide, based on their history, love, and pride for horse leather.
Even in modern times where efficiency is prioritized, they continue the pit tanning of horse leather, which takes the longest time.
Please enjoy the firm yet flexible texture, the polished edge that shines with simple buffing, and the deepening luster with use, all characteristic of pit-tanned horse leather.

New Gray Vintage, a year in the making
Horse Nume Gray vintage, realized by the outstanding techniques of Shinki Hikaku-sama.
Over the course of about a year since last year's prototype, Shinki Hikaku-sama addressed all the issues identified in the prototype samples.

・The tightness of the nude fiber was finished specifically for wallets and small items, differing from finishes for clothing or bags.
・The adhesion between the grain and the flesh side was increased, resulting in a tight horse nude leather.

And the ideal horse nude leather was achieved with minimal grain lift.



Horse Nume Gray Vintage, created by generously applying the wonderful characteristics of horse Nume and the techniques of Shinki Hikaku, who have long dialogued with horse leather.
Each item is produced based on our manufacturing standards, aiming to maximize the potential of this horse Nume.

*For products in Gray Vintage, the gray tones and unevenness will vary from piece to piece.
We hope you will enjoy this as a unique and interesting characteristic of the leather.
