Hitoe® Fold Aria -Mushroom- pre-orders closed

Advance reservations (crowdfunding) for the new Hitoe® Fold Aria -Mushroom- wallet, which combines a new material made from mushrooms with traditional cowhide leather, ended on May 15th, and we received support of over 1.7 million yen.

Thank you very much for being one of the first to purchase a product made from a new material whose evaluation has yet to be finalized.

Currently, almost all leather alternatives on the market contain plastic (such as polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane), but the KINOLI used in this product is a plastic-free, recyclable material made from mushrooms. Cowhide tanned with vegetable tannins is also a material that uses almost no chemicals and can be returned to nature.

The combination of these two environmentally friendly materials is one of the new possibilities for a sustainable future.

We will continue to explore and address how we can face our responsibilities.

We would like to once again express our sincere gratitude to all of you who have agreed to and supported this new challenge.
