Hitoe® L-zip L 2025 - Rebuilding from the inside out.
To achieve ultimate thinness, usability, and beauty
Thinness, usability, and beauty.
These are not separate values, but are interconnected within the structure.
The 2025 model of Hitoe® L-zip L re-examined this relationship from the ground up.
Instead of just making it compact, a new balance has been derived from the necessity of its structure.
By redesigning all internal parts and incorporating new ideas into each pocket, an unprecedented sense of unity and harmony has been created.
- SmartFit (top card pocket)*
- Floating U (coin pocket)*
- Under U (side card pocket)
- Twist-in (common to all card pockets)*
- WrapEdge (bill pocket)
* Design patent applications filed for SmartFit, Floating U, and Twist-in.
SmartFit - Top Card Pocket
A variable structure that optimizes thickness according to the number of cards.
Whether you have 1 card or 8, it fits neatly without unnecessary gaps, maintaining its thinness.
Floating U - Coin Pocket
A U-shaped structure with a fixed upper edge and movable lower part.
Responding to many customer requests about "worrying about coins falling out," we've made it easy to access and given it an appropriate depth for peace of mind.
The inside of the pocket is made of grain leather (the surface of the leather), which enhances durability, texture, and rigidity (peace of mind).
Under U - Side Card Pocket
A card pocket located at the bottom of the coin pocket.
The Floating U also functions as a gusset, allowing up to 8 cards to fit snugly, depending on the number of cards.
Compared to the conventional gusset-less structure, the tightness during storage and unnecessary gaps have been eliminated.
Twist-in
A design that prioritizes usability for both right and left-handed users.
A slight twist of the card opens the pocket, allowing the first card to be inserted smoothly.
WrapEdge - Bill Pocket
The edge of the bill pocket has been changed from a traditional seam to a wrapping shape that envelops bills.
This makes it easier to insert bills all the way in and provides more space for storing them.
Additionally, a leather lining has been added to improve luxury, texture, and durability.
Other improvements
- The bottom shape is now square, allowing for more effective use of internal space.
There is ample height even when storing a passport.
Passport fits comfortably in the Slip Pocket
* Maximum 10 cards when storing a passport - The zipper pull has been refreshed with a new design. Straps and charms can also be attached.
