Details of changes

1. Rolling up the edge of the coin pocket

The edges, which were previously sewn on the outside, have now been folded in like the card pockets, resulting in a more unified and streamlined appearance.

2. Prevents wrinkles when bent

When the wallet is bent into a "L" shape, the leather tends to escape outward, which can easily cause distortion. The wrap-around structure allows the leather to escape force effectively, making it less likely to wrinkle.

3. Enlarged coin pocket

By increasing the width of the pocket by approximately 4mm, coin dispersion has been improved.
The same amount can be expected to be about 5% thinner.

4. Adjusting the notch

The design change has widened the notch at the bottom of the coin pocket, but it is still precisely calculated to prevent the smallest coin in global circulation, the 1-cent euro, from falling out.
