Hitoe® L-zip L challenges three common sense concepts:

Common sense 1: "It gets thicker when stored."

The more you put things in your wallet, the thicker it gets.
It's common sense that no one questions.
Hitoe® L-zip L challenges this conventional wisdom.

The wallet is thick due to the stack of cards

Long wallets tend to be thicker because they store more cards than a bifold wallet can.
Generally, cards are stored in a single horizontal row.
In this format, all the cards overlap in the center.
In addition, dividers and gussets overlap, causing thickness.

In a typical wallet, cards overlap and become thicker.

Double card pockets, less than half the thickness

Since 2019, SYRINX has been tackling this structural challenge with its "double card pocket."
The unique layout (registered design) distributes the cards to two locations, left and right, reducing overlapping of cards by half.
Furthermore, by combining it with the Hitoe® structure, which does not overlap with coins, we have achieved a seemingly contradictory structure that "remains thin even when stored."

In a long wallet with a Hitoe structure, cards are dispersed and the wallet becomes thinner (registered design)

Even when stored, it is only 10mm

In addition, the amount of overlapping leather is kept to a minimum.
Even when stored, it is only 10mm thick (when storing 8 cards, 10 bills, and 10 coins).
Even with 16 cards, the thickest part is only 14mm, and the bottom is only 10mm.
Even when fully loaded, it is still incredibly slim, thinner than a typical empty wallet.
