MW-22 BLV-ST [BLUE VINTAGE]

[MIDDLE WALLET] with T-bar & Silver ring

A size that doesn't stand out when placed in a back pocket, yet offers storage capacity and functionality comparable to a long wallet.
It has been 20 years since this size of wallet was born.
Over these 20 years, numerous improvements have been made, and the MIDDLE WALLET continues to reign as the MW-22.
When held in hand,
When placed in a pocket,
It just feels right.
It's just the right size.
The MW-22 is a fusion of 20 years of dedication and functionality embedded in its "medium" size, combined with horse leather.
Please enjoy it.

-Horse Naked Leather BLUE VINTAGE-
Commissioned Shinki Hikaku, whose philosophy is to manage all processes from tanning, dyeing, to 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, it continues the tradition of pit-tanned horse leather, which takes the longest time.
Please enjoy the firm yet flexible texture, the shining edges from simple polishing, and the deepening luster with use, all characteristic of pit-tanned horse leather.

The Art of Dyeing Technique
The base color is dyed a vibrant blue, then a translucent dark blue-ish color is applied over it, and finally, paraffin is infused using heat.
This three-layered, complex dyeing and finishing process creates the color of this blue vintage.

The Art of Finishing
After achieving a thick luster through glazing, a揉み加工 (momi-kakō - kneading process) is performed to create wrinkles and a frosted appearance.
The kneading process further highlights the rich expression of the grain surface due to differences in fiber quality in various parts of the leather.

Blue Vintage horse leather, made with the wonderful inherent qualities of horse naked leather and the abundant techniques of Shinki Hikaku, who have long conversed with horse leather.
Each piece is produced according to our craftsmanship standards, which have been established to maximize the potential of this horse naked leather.
