1. Design

Towards perfect functional beauty

"Perfection is when you can't cut any more"
These are the words of Saint-Exupery, the author of "The Little Prince."

The Hitoe® structure (registered design) prevents items from being stacked, the metal fitting-free minimalist design and inner hook (patent) allow for smooth operation, and the slipless design prevents cards from falling out (patent pending) .

The Hitoe® Fold Aria is the ultimate in minimalist design and operability in the Hitoe® Fold series.

Its sophisticated design and exquisite craftsmanship have resulted in a piece of breathtakingly perfect functional beauty.

Minimalist design - HITOE FOLD ARIA Etretat

"Aria" - Light as air

"Aria" is the Italian word for air.
It can also mean a lyrical solo song in opera or religious music.
Thin, light, and as airy as possible, it is also beautiful and full of originality. This is the "Aria" series.

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 takes a wealth of experience and skilled techniques to create a finish that does not float or warp even when folded, and acts as if it were a single piece of leather.

Engraving - HITOE FOLD ARIA — In pursuit of simplicity, the engraving is hidden underneath the card

It's just sandwiched between leather.

It has a flat appearance that is simply sandwiched between leather. There are no protruding metal parts or flaps, so it won't get caught in your pocket.

The inner hook is designed not to come off if the coin is turned upside down, so there is no need to worry about dropping the coin by turning it upside down.

Front - HITOE FOLD ARIA — Made entirely of leather, without any metal parts

Design based on the laws of nature

"Why is the golden ratio 1:1.62 beautiful?"
The golden ratio is the ratio that appears when squares with sides that match the Fibonacci sequence (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21...) are arranged in a spiral, as shown in the diagram below.

The Fibonacci sequence is hidden everywhere in nature: in the arrangement of sunflower seeds, the spirals in seashells, the shape of typhoons, and spiral galaxies.
This sequence can also be found in masterpieces of art, such as the pyramids, the Parthenon, and Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.

The golden ratio is not simply a beautiful ratio; its beauty comes from the Fibonacci sequence behind it.

Therefore, the important thing is not to make each part into the golden ratio.
The proportions from the details to the whole form the Fibonacci sequence , which is deeply connected to the laws of nature and life, resulting in a well-balanced design that resonates with the heart.

Fibonacci Sequence - HITOE FOLD ARIA — Proportions based on the Fibonacci spiral

Beautiful details

Precise and delicate stitching, polished leather edges that show the overlapping of the leather.
Hitoe® Fold Aria pursues beauty in every detail.

Long-lasting and beautiful

Generally, most wallet troubles are caused by metal parts or stitching. However, Hitoe® Fold does not use any metal parts and has only four stitches. In addition, the corners, which are prone to damage, are made of overlapping outer and inner leather to increase durability. The seam allowance is extremely small, and the design is such that it is difficult for the wallet to lose its shape even when it is in a trouser pocket.

Corner reinforcement - HITOE FOLD ARIA — The corners are made of layered leather for durability.

2. Idea

The challenge of thinness

The thinness is achieved through the Hitoe® structure (registered design) , which does not stack cards and coins.

- Maximum 5 overlapping pieces of leather, no metal parts, 12mm thickest when stored
(When storing 6 cards, 10 bills, and 10 100 yen coins)
Palm-sized 89mm x 91mm
・Light as air , about 30g

It can hold up to 15 bills, 20 coins, and 6 cards. Even when fully loaded, it remains slim.

Thin details

The edges are made by overlapping the leather and sewing it on the outside. This is to keep it thin. If you fold the leather inside, you can make it smaller, but the leather will overlap and become thicker.

These details are faithful to the ideal of a "thin wallet."

While pursuing thinness, we ensure that the leather is thick enough to retain the natural leather texture, such as tension and firmness.

Metal fitting-less inner hook

A new idea to use the stored cards as fasteners

We have invented an inner hook (patented) where the stored card itself serves as the fastener.

This idea made it possible to create the Hitoe® Fold Aria's minimalist design without any metal fittings .

Card holder - HITOE FOLD ARIA — Inner hook for hanging cards integrated with bill holder

Not only does it act as a fastener, but it also prevents cards from falling out when you carry it around.

3. Usability

Minimalistic and smooth operation

It can be opened and closed easily by bending it into an "U" shape. With this single action, you can smoothly take out and put in all your coins and cards while keeping the wallet in portrait orientation.

(For right-handed people) The trick is to bend the bottom of the wallet into an L-shape with your left hand, without touching the inner hook.

The bills are left as is, without folding them.

Bills do not need to be folded, just insert them as they are. They are highly visible and easy to take out. They do not bend, so they can be easily inserted into vending machines and self-checkouts.

The bill holder is designed to be continuous with the inner hook. The curve acts as a guide, allowing you to insert and remove bills smoothly without getting caught.

You can smoothly insert and remove the bills without touching the bill holder.

Prevents cards from falling out

When closed, the inner hooks catch the cards so they won't fall out. Even when the wallet is open , the slip-less design (patent pending) makes it difficult for cards to fall out. The feeling of sliding the cards is high quality, making it comfortable to take them in and out.

Effect of slip-less specification (patent pending)

The extra card can be used as a bill holder. It does not interfere with opening and closing the wallet.

How to open - HITOE FOLD ARIA — Temporary cards are used to hold bills

Smooth, non-overflowing coin pocket

The coin pocket is shallow and has no fasteners or hooks. This allows you to quickly take out the coins you need. When storing coins, the lid of the coin pocket acts as a guide for smooth storage.

In addition, coins will not spill out when the wallet is closed, and even when it is open, the coin pocket has a lid to prevent spills.

There is still plenty of room even if you put in 999 yen worth (15 sheets).

About Etretat Leather

Origins

Etretat, in Normandy, France, is a coastline of white limestone cliffs. The gentle light and poetic scenery of the coast has attracted artists such as Monet. This calf leather is inspired by the symphony of nature.

Tanning and Manufacturing

The raw hides of fine French bull calfs are used. After chrome-tanning, it is dyed with aniline dyes and finished with two colors of pigment to create a deep look. It is scratch and stain resistant, water repellent, and hardly ages, so you can keep the original look for a long time.

Maintenance

Although the leather is scratch, stain, and water resistant, please wipe it off immediately when it gets wet, and periodically remove dust from the surface with a soft cloth.

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 the leather at the back of the card pocket (to the left of the card for right-handed users) firmly 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 are more likely to fall out 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 this as a reference for the position of the stitching and how the cards look.

<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 cards are most visible is the right side, as the cards are 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.

From where you get used to it

The claim that it is lightweight and easy to carry with one hand struck a chord with me, so I decided to buy it. Thanks to its light weight and small, maneuverable size, it gives me a wider range of bag options and is the perfect travel companion. I like the feel of it, and I realize that it can hold more than I expected.
However, until you get used to it, you will struggle to know which way to open it, long receipts will be difficult to fit into it, and coins will just pile up all over the place, so it may be a while before you can store them away neatly.
It was also difficult to pinpoint and remove cards from the many cards stuck in the drawer. They were firmly stuck in place so they wouldn't come out, and it took a while to select cards that were stacked on top of each other.
I'd like to keep using it until it becomes familiar to me.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available options.
We are very happy that you appreciated the various aspects of our service. We hope that our service will make your travels and daily outings more comfortable.
The wallet has a minimalist design and the front and back are similar, but when you open it, you can refer to the stitching and how the cards look. We also introduce other tips on the following page, so please refer to them if you like.
https://syrinx.audio/pages/qa-hitoe-fold
As the leather becomes more comfortable, inserting and removing cards will become smoother, but we are always happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to contact us via the contact form below.
https://syrinx.audio/pages/contact
We look forward to your continued support.

This is the best wallet for people who mainly use electronic payments!

After more than three years of mainly using electronic payments and app point cards and going through several thin or small wallets, I finally arrived at this one.
I thought a fragment case would be okay, so I tried using one made of French calf leather with a coin purse from a well-known domestic manufacturer, but I still couldn't help but feel bothered by the way it left tight creases on the bills.
This product solved all my problems.
I've finally found a wallet that meets all of my requirements: I want to be able to fit 4-5 cards, 888 or 999 yen coins, but the storage space isn't too cramped, I don't want to fold bills, it has a sleek silhouette that isn't too thick, and if possible, it should be made of a material that requires minimal maintenance and can be used without worrying about scratches.
Usability?
It's the best! I choose leather products made by Japanese craftsmen as much as possible, and I think the texture and finish are wonderful. The thickness is the same as when I put coins in a fragment case. I didn't care about the lack of metal fittings, but I was surprised at how much the silhouette is sleek without them.
I can't really comment on durability until I've used it for a while, but when it comes time to replace it, I'll choose this series.
That's the wallet I've been looking for for ages.
I find myself touching it for no reason and showing it off to others.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available options.
We are very happy that our wallets meet your needs after trying out various wallets and fragment cases. We are also very grateful for all the kind words you have given us.
The leather used is an original product made by France's oldest and most historic tannery, using finely textured, high-quality French calf hides. This leather collection is highly resistant to scratches and stains, and is especially recommended for those who want to maintain the original appearance of their item for a long time.
In addition, selected Japanese craftsmen use their rich experience and skilled techniques to create designs that are meticulous down to the smallest detail. Our staff is encouraged when customers like the finished product and show their wallets to people around them.
If you have any questions about durability or leather care, please feel free to contact us at any time.
We will not be content with the status quo and will strive to develop better products so that you will choose our products again next time. Thank you for your continued support.

Smaller than the image, good

The thickness and size I was looking for the most were...
I'm a little worried that the coins might fall out. <br>Especially the 500 yen coin

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available options.
We are very happy to be able to meet your expectations regarding thickness and size, and we are also encouraged to hear that it is smaller than you imagined.
In pursuit of a compact design and quick access, the coin pocket is shallow and has no zipper, but we are very sorry to hear that you are concerned.
When using the wallet, we recommend holding it upright with the coin pocket opening at the top for safe use.
Also, due to its unique design, you may need to get used to using it. Please refer to the following page for tips on how to use it.
https://syrinx.audio/pages/qa-hitoe-fold
We look forward to your continued support.

Now you can carry cash smartly

The Hitoe® Fold Aria - Etretat - is compact but can store all the things you need.
Before I purchased it, I would carry a credit card case and a coin purse and fold my bills and keep them in the coin purse, but the creases in the bills made it look untidy and caused a bit of stress.
Hitoe® Fold Aria - Etretat - allows you to print bills without wrinkles and is comfortable to use.
There are still some stores that accept cash, so it's convenient.
The color is Midnight, a deep blue that's almost black, or rather a dark navy blue. I wonder if it will turn black over time. I'm looking forward to it. It seems like it will be hard to scratch as long as you don't handle it roughly, so I think it will stand up to long-term use.
When I'm off work, I don't have to carry a bag anymore; I can just keep it in my pocket, which is also convenient.
I rate it 5 stars for its minimalist style and ease of use.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available.
All our staff are very happy and encouraged to receive such words of praise.
The Hitoe series was created to fulfill the desire to "go out empty-handed!"
We hope that this will help you to have a more comfortable everyday life.
SYRINX's original French calf leather Etretat has a very soft, elegant and supple texture.
Midnight, which depicts the tranquil moonlit sea, is finished with two shades of pigment, achieving a deep, calm color.
Since the product will maintain its original appearance for a long time, we hope you will enjoy using it for many years to come.
We will continue to strive to deliver better products.
We look forward to your continued support.

Simply beautiful

I was originally using a thin wallet from another company, but I started wanting to put coins in it. However, I don't like the rattle of metal, so after searching, I found this wallet. In the end, it was the best in terms of shape, thinness, and feel! I was worried about the texture and color of the leather, and although it was expensive, I bought the Normandy Blue and am very satisfied. Nice color, and beautiful. The problem was that it doesn't change much over time, but since it's this beautiful, I want to cherish it for a long time. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, so I'd like to continue using it carefully and maintain it. Thank you.

Thank you very much for purchasing our product from among the many available.
We are very happy and encouraged by your kind comments and how much you care for us.
Etretat is an original leather that was created over a period of a year and a half through repeated color adjustments in collaboration with a French tanner, and its distinctive feature is its varied shades of color.
Among them, Normandy blue is a calm color tone, but its elegant color that catches the eye and is very popular with a wide range of people.
The color will remain the same for a long time after you first purchased it, so we hope you will enjoy using it for a long time.
We will continue to strive to deliver better products.
We look forward to your continued support.

All-time high

This is my third model, having replaced ①Hitoe ress, ②Hitoe Aria, and ③Etretat.
Ress was thin and great, but I needed to carry five cards, so I switched to Aria.
I've been using it with Aria and have had no complaints, and the leather feels great with age, but there is one thing that has been bothering me - it's prone to scratches.
Then, Etretat, which is scratch-resistant, came out, so I bought it. <br>Needless to say, it's the best.
The leather looks hard in the picture, but it's actually very soft and very comfortable to wear.
The price is higher than Aria and Ress, but I think it's worth it.

Actual usage experience <br>It can hold up to six cards, but if you put in six it will be too cramped, so five will give you plenty of room and be stress-free.
By the way, it has a mysterious structure that makes it unlikely for even one piece to fall off. <br>The wallet can hold 15 times the published value of banknotes, so you can even put in 30 10,000-yen bills without them losing their shape.
It can hold up to 20 coins, but it looks and feels better if you keep it to 10 or less.
Both the ress and Aria were put in my back pocket and used vigorously without any fraying or cracking of the edges, so I think they are quite durable.

For those who want to enjoy aging, try ress and Aria.
If you don't want to worry about scratches, try Etretat.
It was something like that.

My long journey of searching for a wallet is finally coming to an end.

Thank you very much for your continued patronage of our products.
All of our staff are very happy and encouraged to receive such kind words, and we feel motivated to do our best.

As you say, SYRINX's original French calfskin Etretat has a very soft, elegant and supple texture.
Thick leather is thinned to the optimum thickness to suit the characteristics of each part of the wallet, and then two pieces are glued together to make it look like one piece, achieving both strength and thinness.
Please enjoy the "Musou" tailoring, which is said to be the ultimate luxury in leather products.

We would also like to thank you for your valuable feedback, including the specific storage feel of banknotes and coins.
We are very happy and grateful that this is possible thanks to your continued patronage of Hitoe Fold.
We will continue to value our customers' opinions and maintain a constant attitude of evolution.
We appreciate your continued support.
