1. Concept

The smallest mini wallet in the series

This small, slim bi-fold wallet was created to make the desire to "go out empty-handed" a reality.
Numerous ideas have been condensed into a palm-sized device that is thin, compact, and smooth to use .
The smallest size in the Hitoe® Fold series , it fits neatly in your pocket and is designed to store bills without folding them .
Recommended for those looking for a minimalist wallet. Left-handed models are also available in all colors.

Hitoe® Fold-A thin and small bi-fold wallet — Simple and flat design

2. Technology

By combining innovative ideas with the precise craftsmanship of our artisans , we have pursued functional beauty to the utmost.

Newly-designed inner hook (patented)

It has been common practice to use metal fasteners such as snaps or magnets to fasten wallets, but the Inner Hook is a patented technology that uses the stored card itself as the fastener.
By hanging the cards in leather, we have achieved a flat design without using metal fittings, while preventing the cards from falling out.
Furthermore, the design is such that it will not come off if the front and back are mistaken, so there is no need to worry about coins spilling out.

It's an innovative idea that is thin, light, and intuitive to use .

Inner hook prevents cards from falling out — Prevents cards from accidentally falling out

Remarkably thin Hitoe® structure (registered design)

Hitoe® Fold is a surprisingly slim wallet with plenty of storage space.
For example , even if you store 10 bills, 10 coins, and 7 cards, the thickness is only 13 mm.
It maintains a slim profile and doesn't take up much space even when you put it in your pocket.

The more you put in a typical wallet, the thicker it becomes.
The Hitoe® structure arranges the leather layers without overlapping them, and limits the number of overlapping layers to just five, achieving both storage capacity and a slim design.

3. Design

Well-balanced proportions, exquisite details, and a minimalist design without any metal fittings.
This resulted in a design that will stand the test of time.

Design based on the laws of nature

The design is based on the Fibonacci sequence found in nature.
Seashell spirals, typhoons, spiral galaxies...
The Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...) is hidden throughout nature.
The golden ratio is also derived from this sequence, and it can also be found in the most beautiful art.
Hitoe® Fold also has a balanced beauty that resonates with the heart.

Attention to detail

Precise and delicate stitching, repeatedly polished leather edges, and thin lines on the edges.
We pursued beauty down to the smallest detail .

Hitoe® Fold edge finishing by dyeing and polishing — The edges are dyed and polished for a simple look, with the engraving hidden underneath the card.

Details that combine thinness and compactness

We also put a lot of thought into the design of the ends.
The bottom part of the card pocket, which is the thickest part, is sewn together on the outside to reduce thickness, and the sides are rolled inward to make it compact.

Differences in the roll-up design and stitching of the card pockets on the Hitoe® Fold — Left: Wrapping Right: Stitching

While pursuing thinness, we ensure that the leather is thick enough to retain its natural leather texture .

It's just sandwiched between leather.

A simple design made entirely of leather, with no metal fittings or flaps.
There are no unnecessary protrusions, so it is thin and does not get caught on anything.
It fits easily in your pocket and is comfortable to carry wherever you go.

Long-lasting and beautiful

With ordinary wallets, deterioration of the metal fittings and stitching is a common cause of problems.
Hitoe® Fold does not use any metal fittings, and the stitching is placed to avoid bending parts that are prone to wear.
The corners, which are prone to damage, are reinforced with layered leather to improve durability.
In addition, the seam allowances are made as thin as possible, so the design is less likely to lose its shape even when placed in a pocket .

4. Usability

Excellent portability, ample storage capacity, and smooth operation .
We aimed to create the ideal mini wallet that is comfortable to use every time you use it .

Smooth payment with one action

Hitoe® Fold can be operated with just one movement .
Simply bend the wallet into an L shape to instantly remove coins and cards.
This minimizes cashier movements and makes payments smarter.

Just bend it into an angle for quick access

Leave the bill as is without folding it.

Simply insert the bill without folding it .
It does not crease and can be used smoothly at vending machines and self-checkouts.
The bill holder acts as a guide, allowing you to insert and remove bills smoothly without getting caught .

No snagging, so you can insert and remove bills smoothly

Cards are safe and smooth

The card pockets have large cutouts, making it easy to insert and remove cards .

Cards can be inserted and removed smoothly

Smooth and non-overflowing coin pocket

The coin pocket has a simple design without zippers or hooks.
The shallow pockets and short flaps make it easy to take things out and prevent spills .

Can store more than 15 coins (999 yen).
Although it is compact, it can securely store all the coins you need.

Pocket Comfort

Because this is a wallet that you will use every day, we paid particular attention to how comfortable it feels in your pocket.
It fits easily and is so light that you'll forget it's even there.
The combination of "storage capacity" and "thinness" makes it comfortable to carry every day.

A comfortable, minimalist choice for your lifestyle.

About Liscio Leather

Origins

Liscio is an Italian word meaning "smooth. The surface is smooth and fine, with natural unevenness in color, giving the leather an elegant and tasteful look.

Tanning and Manufacturing

Vacchetta leather has been used in the Tuscany region of Italy since the early 9th century. The cowhide is tanned with vegetable tannin extracted from chesnut and mimosa, and then soaked in oil slowly and finished with dyes. The more the leather is used, the more the oil soaks into the leather, deepening its color and luster.

Maintenance

Since it contains sufficient oil inside, oil care is not necessary unless you are concerned about scratches or dryness. We recommend dry brushing with a soft cloth on a daily basis.

Q & A

Q. Are there any tips for opening and closing it?

If you are right-handed, you can use your left hand to bend the boundary between the coin pocket and the card pocket into an "U" shape, which will release the inner hook and allow the wallet to open smoothly.

To close it, lightly press the top with your right hand while bending it into an "U" shape with your left hand, and the inner hook will naturally catch on the card.

The trick is to not touch the inner hook when opening or closing it.

(For right-handed people) The trick is to bend it into an "U" shape with your left hand and not touch the inner hook.

Q. It becomes distorted when closed.

This is caused by misusing the inner hook on the outside of the wallet. Please only hang it on the cards you want to store.

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

If you use your right hand to insert and remove cards and coins, please select right-handed. If you use your left hand, please select left-handed. All photos and videos used in the product description are for right-handed use, and the slot for removing bills and cards is on the right side.

Q. The card pockets are too cramped

The design is tight so that the leather does not stretch more than necessary, so it may feel tight when you first start using it while the leather is still stiff. Don't worry, it will become more comfortable as you use it.

Also, if the card is difficult to insert all the way in, pressing firmly against the leather at the back of the card pocket (to the left of the card for right-handed users) will help the card to fit in more easily.

Please note that storing cards with uneven surfaces or items other than credit card size (such as point cards or medical cards) can make the bag feel cramped.

HITOE FOLD side — If it feels too tight, try loosening the leather at the back of the card pocket (left side for right-handed users) to make it more comfortable.

Q: Will the cards fall out?

When you close the wallet by hanging the inner hook, it won't fall out.

Even when open, the leather on the top edge of the cards will support them if the wallet is held vertically. Please note that cards will fall out easily if the wallet is placed horizontally.

The slip-less design (patent pending) of the product makes it even more difficult to fall off. For more information, please click here .

When held vertically, the leather on the top edge of the card provides support.

Q. Will the coins spill?

The coin pocket has a lid to prevent spills. As the leather becomes more flexible with use and the bend in the lid settles, it will become even less likely to spill.

The pocket is shallow to allow for quick removal of coins, and the size of the pocket allows the top of a 500 yen coin to be slightly visible, but it is hidden when the lid is closed.

If you open the wallet horizontally, coins may spill out. Please use it vertically.

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

If you store your coins with the coin pocket facing upright, you can prevent the coins from making noise. Also, the coins will automatically align themselves more easily, so please try it.

Q. Won't I open it upside down and spill the coins?

Don't worry, if you turn the wallet inside out, it won't bend into a "U" shape and won't open. You can also use the stitching and card placement as a reference.

<Example: Right-handed>

The side without the stitching on the right side is the front, as the bills are taken out from the right.
The side where the card is most visible is the right side, as the card is taken out from the right.

Q. Can the magnetic stripes of cards be stacked?

Modern magnetic stripes are highly resistant to magnetism, so there is no problem even if they are stacked. Also, IC chips are not affected by magnetism.

However, for bank cards with no expiration date, the magnetic stripe may be weakened, so we recommend stacking the cards with the magnetic stripes alternating up and down.

Excellent design and quality

This is the best thin wallet I have ever used! Especially the coin pocket design! So useful, so elegant. And also the quick international delivery with great customer service! I love the design! I am consider to purchase another one for friend on her birthday next year!! Thanks again!

Thank you very much for choosing our wallet and for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you consider it the best thin wallet you have ever used. The coin pocket was designed for easy visibility and access, so your appreciation of its functionality and elegance is truly encouraging.
We are also pleased to know that you were satisfied with our quick international delivery and customer service. It is an honor that you are considering purchasing another one for your friend's birthday next year.
We deeply appreciate your support and the time you took to write such a detailed review.
If there is anything else we can do for you, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to serving you again.

This is the best buy of the year.

I bought it because it was recommended to me by someone who uses it and I was intrigued by the fact that it is a wallet for left-handed people.
It's very easy to use because I'm left-handed. It fits in a mini bag or a pants pocket, but has a good balance of capacity for cash and cards, and I love the simple design, and the more I use it the more I love it. It's made of leather, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it will become more comfortable in my hand as I use it.
It has more than enough functionality, but if I had to be picky about one thing, it would be that it's a bit slow to receive change and put coins in. It's not so much about capacity, but about "smoothness." However, even if you take that into account, I think this wallet is worth more than its price.
This is especially recommended for those who want to go cashless but still want to carry some cash.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available options.
I am very pleased that the person who recommended it to me decided to purchase it, and that it has received such high praise.
We develop our products so that ease of use does not vary depending on whether you are handed or not, and we are honored that you like it so much.
Even as cashless transactions become more common, we hope you will continue to use this convenient item.
We will use your valuable feedback in our future product development. Thank you very much.
The leather will gradually become more comfortable in your hand and develop a unique character. We hope you will enjoy the ever-changing appearance of the product.
We look forward to your continued support.

Above all, it's cool.

I wanted a small and thin wallet, so I searched around and finally chose this one.
I found a few wallets of the same size, and to be honest some of them looked easier to use than this one. Still, I chose this one because it's stylish.

This wallet is a little different from other wallets, but it really satisfies the desire to own it, and it's easier to use than I expected before I bought it. No complaints.

Thank you very much for purchasing the Hitoe® Fold -Liscio-.
We are very pleased that you chose our wallet from the many options available.
The stylish design fulfilled the desire to own it, and the staff was very encouraged to hear that the usability exceeded expectations.
We hope you will enjoy using this simple yet unique wallet for a long time.
We will continue to strive to create products that satisfy our customers.
We look forward to your continued support.

Very satisfied

With the shift to a cashless society in mind, I was looking for a thin and small wallet and found this one.
I have a tendency to feel uneasy if I don't carry my wallet in my front pocket, so it used to look unsightly and bulky, but since I switched to this thin and light wallet, it's so comfortable. I was so happy that I bought a new pair of slim, stylish pants.
Although there is a limit to the number of coins that can be stored, this may be an advantage since it helps to maintain the lightness of the wallet. I was particularly interested in the card holder, because even if you temporarily leave your health insurance card at the hospital and the number of cards you have decreases, the card holder keeps them in place and prevents them from slipping out. The overall construction is solid and elegant, and I really like it.
This may be because I'm not used to it yet, but I have a hard time opening it because I don't know which side to slide the card from. This is just my personal opinion, but it would have been nice if there was a logo on the side where the hook goes to the card, as a guide to "remove it from here."
Thank you for making a great product. I will cherish it.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available options.
We are very happy to hear that you have chosen SYRINX products as you transition to a cashless society and that you are using them comfortably. We are also encouraged by your sharing such a wonderful story with us. Thank you very much.
The leather will become more comfortable with use. We recommend that you try holding the wallet upright to prevent cards from falling out.
For detailed information on how to use it, please refer to the following page.
https://syrinx.audio/pages/qa-hitoe-fold
We would also like to thank you for your valuable feedback regarding the opening and closing of the product. We will use this information to improve our product development in the future.
If you refer to the stitching position, you will be able to tell the front and back of the wallet, and you will be able to use it more comfortably. Please see the detailed explanation with photos at the bottom of the page. I hope it will be helpful. https://syrinx.audio/pages/qa-hitoe-fold
We look forward to your continued support.

Less presence than expected

It's thin. This is really amazing. It's completely unnoticeable even when you put it in your pocket. I think some people find it annoying to ride a bike with their wallet in their pants, but it really doesn't bother me. There's no complaint about how thin and light it is❗️
On the other hand, the only thing that is lacking is the coin storage capacity. I think it was advertised as a compact wallet for the cashless era, but it doesn't hold much coins. The coin purse is located right in the folded part, so if you put multiple 500 yen coins in it, it bulges and becomes a little difficult to close. Still, it's still very thin compared to other wallets. If you're not cashless, it might be a good idea to use a coin purse in addition.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available.
We are very pleased that you were able to appreciate the SYRINX concept, and we are honored that you find it useful in your daily life.
We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the coin storage. We have adopted a simple and functional design, but we will continue to strive to create better products by incorporating our customers' valuable feedback.
We hope you will enjoy using our products for a long time.

Thin and small, it doesn't get in the way

It's compact, and when folded in half, it fits in the breast pocket of a shirt without getting in the way. It's a bit tight with 20 bills, but I usually only have about 10, so it's easy to take out and put in. It's not too hard to take out and put in cards. I think it's a very good product, including the idea of fastening it without metal fittings and the hardness of the leather. However, if there's one drawback, it's that when you're handed bills and coins at the register at the same time, it's not very smooth to put the coins in and the bills in...it's a really small thing, though.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available options.
This product was designed with the idea of "wanting to go out empty-handed," and we hope that being able to fit your wallet in your breast pocket will make going out more comfortable.
Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding payment.
This is a very unique wallet, so it may take some getting used to, but we are very pleased that you have praised it so highly.
We look forward to your continued support.
