Hitoe® Quartet

Thin card case (billfold)

A bi-fold wallet without a coin pocket is called a " billfold."
Four pockets hold eight cards, yet the billfold is slim
That is the " Hitoe® Quartet ."

About Liscio Leather

Smooth and Refined Vacchetta Leather

Vacchetta leather has been handed down in the Tuscany region of Italy since the early 9th century.
Its surface is smooth and fine-grained, with an elegant and rich character that deepens in color and gloss as it ages with use.

Remains thin even when stored

The four card pockets do not overlap, resulting in a slim design thanks to the " Hitoe® (single) structure ."
- Thickness 11mm when storing 8 cards and 10 bills
Size: 120 x 94mm
Each card pocket can hold 1 to 2 cards, up to a maximum of 8 cards.

Minimalist design

The card to be stored is used as the core material.

Hitoe® Quartet utilizes the card pockets on all sides to use the cards as a card insert , which allows for a slim design.
When you put it in your pocket, the gaps between the cards bend slightly, allowing them to flex and move flexibly along with your body. This makes it harder for the cards to bend, preventing damage.

The pursuit of thinness

The edges are not "rolled" but rather have a "seam allowance". This is in pursuit of "thinness". If the edges are rolled, the size will be smaller, but the overlapping of the leather will increase, making the item thicker. This detail is faithful to the ideal we aim for.
Also, when you roll the card up, it is easy for the card to get caught on the edge of the leather, but with the seam allowance, it runs smoothly without getting caught.

Long-lasting and beautiful

Most wallet problems are caused by metal fittings and stitching. We do not use any metal fittings. Corners and edges that are prone to damage are made more durable by overlapping the outer and inner leather. Furthermore, there are no stitches on the folded parts that are subject to friction.
The seam allowance is extremely small, making the design less likely to lose its shape.

Beautiful details

The precise and delicate stitching, the dyed and polished edge (cut surface of leather), the smooth surface (underside of leather), the thin lines drawn on the edges with a hot iron (nenhiki) - beauty is pursued down to the smallest detail.

The banknotes remain intact

Banknotes can be stored directly in the large pocket.

Usage notes

The card pockets do not have gussets. Instead, they are made of thin, kneaded leather that is easy to stretch.
The dimensions are not very generous so it may feel a bit cramped at first, but you will soon get used to it, and once you do, it will fit just right and be comfortable to use.

The lid is designed to close tightly once the leather becomes familiar with it, so even if it is closed at first, the lid may open slightly.
