"Aria" - Light as air
"Aria" is an Italian word meaning "air." It also refers to a lyrical solo song in opera or religious music.
The Aria series is thin, light, and so airy that you forget it even exists. And yet it is beautiful and full of originality.
The finest unrivaled tailoring
All parts are made by gluing two thin pieces of leather together to make one. This technique is said to be the ultimate luxury in leather products , and it achieves both strength and thinness . It requires extensive experience and skilled techniques to create a finish that does not float or sag even when bent, just like a single piece of leather.

Japanese beauty that "envelops" the heart
Hospitality: wrapping your important business cards in a single piece of leather
In Japan, there is a culture of carefully wrapping important items, such as using furoshiki, fukusa, and noshi bags for gifts.
We designed this business card holder based on this traditional Japanese aesthetic of "wrapping."
No fasteners such as thread, metal fittings, belts, etc. are used. High-quality leather is simply folded beautifully like origami paper to wrap your important business cards.
In Japan, business cards received are treated with respect.
"Tsutsumu®" carefully wraps your important business cards, and is a business item that conveys not only your own dignity and sensibility, but also the Japanese culture of hospitality to the other person.
All solved
Be considerate to others
When you unwrap something carefully, the gesture of unwrapping it also shows consideration and consideration. In business situations, it is important not to keep the other person waiting.
"Tsutsumu®" has no fasteners, so you can open it quickly and take out your business cards smoothly.
The interior is also made of smooth leather, so business cards slide easily and without any stress.
At first it may be difficult to tell the top from the bottom, but the wax on the lid, which you touch most often, will come off quickly, and it will become easier to tell the difference the more you use it.

About Foschia Leather
About Foschia LeatherOrigins
Foschia is the Italian word for "fog. Foschia is characterized by a white wax-covered look like morning mist. The more the leather is used, the more the wax permeates the leather, giving it a translucent appearance.
Tanning and Manufacturing
The leather is made from the shoulders of adult Scandinavian cows. After vegetable tanning, the surface is lightly buffed and white waxed. The tanning material used is cod, a legume native to South America. Although rare, it is the lightest colored vegetable tannin and has a lightfast finish. It can be tanned whiter than usual, and the beautiful light color is achieved using only dyes, not pigments.
Maintenance
Wax gradually permeates into the leather, giving it an elegant and natural shine. Since it also contains a moderate amount of oil, oil care is not necessary unless you are concerned about scratches or dryness.
Light colors have a delicate surface and are more prone to stains and scratches, so care should be taken when handling them.
