Q&A Hitoe Fold Series

Q. I can't open and close it smoothly. Is there any trick to it?

To open and close your wallet smoothly, follow the steps below.

[When opening] Bend the border between the coin pocket and the card pocket into a "U" shape and the inner hook will come off naturally. There is no need to touch the inner hook directly.
[When closing] While lightly pressing the top, bend it into an "U" shape in the same way, and the inner hook will naturally catch on the card.

Q. My wallet becomes distorted when closed.

This is because the inner hook is attached to the outside of the wallet, so make sure to only attach it to cards that you store inside.

Q. It's hard to remove the card and it feels cramped.

The card pockets are intentionally designed to be a little tight so that they do not become too loose, so they may feel cramped at first. However, over time, they will become more snug and easier to access.
If the bag is too tight at first, try using one less layer and taking it in and out several times to allow the leather to become accustomed to the bag before using it again.

Q: Will the cards fall out?

When the wallet is closed, the inner hooks catch the cards and prevent them from falling out.

The case has an anti-slip coating so cards are less likely to fall out even when open.
In particular, the slip-less design (patent pending) of the Hitoe® Fold Aria and Hitoe® Fold Less makes them even less likely to fall.

Please note that the anti-slip properties will not be as effective if the wallet is laid horizontally.

Q. Will the coins spill?

The wallet has a coin-proof lid that will not spill out with normal use. As the leather breaks in, it becomes even more stable.

Please note that because this wallet has a vertical design, coins are likely to spill out if opened horizontally like a typical bi-fold wallet.

Q. I'm bothered by the sound of coins.

When you put your wallet in your pocket, if you store it with the coin pocket vertically, the coins will not make any noise and will be easier to line up automatically.

Q. Should I choose right-handed or left-handed?

If you use your right hand to insert and remove cards or coins, select right-handed. If you use your left hand, select left-handed.

Q. Will the coins spill out if I open it upside down?

Don't worry, if you turn the wallet inside out, the inner hook will not come off and the wallet will not open.
The surfaces can be identified as follows (for right-handed users):

• No stitching on the right side
• The right side is the side where the card looks wider

Q. Can the magnetic stripes of cards be stacked?

Modern magnetic stripes are highly resistant to magnetism and can be stacked without any problems. Also, stacking IC chips has no effect.

However, the magnetic properties of old magnetic cards, such as bank cards, may have weakened, so as a precaution we recommend storing them so that the magnetic stripes are not touching each other.
