The new Hitoe® L-zip L challenges three common sense concepts②

Common sense #2: "It opens wide, so it's easy to use."

It's easier to use a wallet if it opens wide.
It's one of those "common sense" things that no one questions.
But in reality, that's not the case.
We had no choice but to add more parts and open it up wider.

Wide open problem

To open it wide, a large gusset is required, which means the leather will overlap and become thicker.
However, since the coins are still at the back, if you put the change in as is, the coins will pile up at the bottom and ruin the shape.
Furthermore, it is a hassle to have to fully open the zipper every time.
In other words, "opening wide" is the opposite of what a "thin wallet" should aim for.

It doesn't open wide so it's comfortable

Easy to use, no extra parts needed, slim and minimalist

Hitoe® L-zip L has no overlapping gussets.
Because you can take everything in and out quickly and smoothly without having to open it wide.
There's no need to bulk up your wallet with extra parts.

Double zipper for easy access with minimal movement

It uses a special double zipper with sliders on both ends.
Just open the side you need.
There is no need to fully unzip the zipper every time.

Quickly access coins without fully unzipping the zipper

Does not accumulate coins and maintains thinness

The key to keeping your wallet thin is to avoid accumulating coins.
It has excellent visibility and is easy to take out without having to open it wide.
It naturally supports how to use coins without hoarding them.
