Small thin wallet
Hitoe® L-zip L - Liscio - v.2025

Challenging the Notion of Thinness

Wallets get thicker when you put things in them—
That's a universally accepted notion.
The Hitoe® L-zip L challenges that notion.

A thin long wallet, even when fully packed

｜Wallets get thicker when cards overlap

Most conventional long wallets are designed to store cards in a single row.
All cards overlap in the center, and with added dividers and gussets, the wallet's thickness increases.

｜"Double Card Pocket" - less than half the thickness

SYRINX has been tackling this structural challenge since 2019 with its "Double Card Pocket."
Our original layout (registered design) disperses cards to two locations, left and right, reducing overlap by half.
Furthermore, by combining this with the Hitoe® structure, which prevents overlap with coins, we have achieved a seemingly contradictory structure: "thin even when fully packed."

｜Only 10mm thick, even when full

By minimizing overlapping leather,
the thickness is only 10mm even when storing [8 cards, 10 bills, 10 coins].
Even with 16 cards, it's 13mm.
The bottom always remains at 10mm.

Conventional wallets lose their shape with just a few cards.
The Hitoe® L-zip L maintains its thinness and beautiful form even when fully packed.

To achieve ultimate thinness, usability, and beauty

The 2025 model of the Hitoe® L-zip L is 1mm narrower and 3mm shorter.
Yet, the interior offers even more space than before.

To reconcile conflicting elements, the internal structure has been fundamentally redesigned.
New technologies have been applied to every pocket.

• SmartFit (top card pocket)※
• Floating U (coin pocket)※
• Under U (side card pocket)
• Twist-in (common to all card pockets)※
• WrapEdge (bill pocket)

(*Applications for design registration have been filed for SmartFit, Floating U, and Twist-in.)

｜SmartFit - Top Card Pocket

A variable structure that optimizes thickness based on the number of cards.
Whether you have 1 card or 8, it fits snugly without unnecessary empty space.
This keeps the bill pocket spacious and provides a comfortable user experience.

｜Floating U - Coin Pocket

U-shaped structure fixed at the top.
To maintain thinness, it's essential not to accumulate coins.
It's easy to see inside without opening it wide, and coins can be removed smoothly.
This naturally encourages a way of organizing coins.

｜Under U - Side Card Pocket

Card pocket located under the coin pocket.
Neatly stores up to 8 cards without force.
Maintains a beautiful line.

｜Twist-in

A structure that is easy to use for both right-handed and left-handed people.
A gentle twist of the card opens the pocket, allowing for smooth insertion of the first card.

｜WrapEdge - Bill Pocket

Bills are placed towards the wrapped-around side, not the stitched side.
They slide in smoothly to the back, are less likely to get caught in the zipper, and allow for more storage capacity.
An internal leather lining has been added to enhance comfort, texture, and durability.

Other Improvements

｜Perfect minimalism, with nothing superfluous

Many long wallets adopt a design that opens wide to retrieve coins from the back.
However, coins accumulate at the bottom, distorting the shape and ruining the silhouette.

The Hitoe® L-zip L features a structure that allows access to everything without opening wide.
It has no superfluous parts and doesn't increase in thickness, resulting in a perfectly minimalist design.

｜Dual zippers optimize operation

Special structure with sliders at both ends.
Open only the necessary side for instant access.
No need to fully open the zipper every time.
Uses YKK's highest-grade zipper, 'EXCELLA®'.

｜Original design pull tab

Despite its minimalist shape, it allows for attaching straps and charms.
SYRINX's philosophy is embodied in every small detail.

｜Square shape creates extra space

By making the bottom square, the internal space is effectively utilized.
There are no internal parts, other than cards, within approximately 1cm from the bottom.
As a result, it maintains its shape, achieving both thinness and beauty.

｜Ample storage capacity, even for a passport

The Hitoe® L-zip L functions as an extremely thin long wallet for everyday use.
But it's not just thin. It also offers the flexibility to neatly organize necessities for various situations, including passports, bank passbooks, various tickets, and even keys.

If you put a passport in, the maximum number of cards is 10.
If you put an AirTag or keys in, the coin capacity will be slightly reduced.
However, this optimal balance preserves its thinness and beautiful appearance.

From daily life to overseas travel, its high versatility allows it to be used neatly in any situation.
This is the new face of the Hitoe® L-zip L as a "smart organizer."
