Thin bundle wallets

A long wallet without a coin pocket is called a " taba-ire ".
A thin taba-ire even when 12 cards are stored in the six pockets
That is the Hitoe® Sextet.

Stored but still thin

The six card pockets do not overlap each other, and the " Hitoe® (single) structure " achieves thinness.
Thickness when 12 cards are stored: 9mm
・Size 178 x 92mm
Each card pocket can hold 1~2 cards, up to 12 cards.

Minimalist design

Core material for the cards to be stored

The Hitoe® Sextet is designed to be thin by taking advantage of the full-length card pocket and using the stored cards as a core material.
The space between the cards is slightly bent to flexibly accommodate deformation and prevent damage to the cards.

Pursuit of thinness

The edges are not "rolled in" but have a "seam allowance. This is in pursuit of thinness. Wrapping the card into the bag will make the size smaller, but the overlap of the leather will increase, making the bag thicker. This is a detail that is faithful to the ideal we should aim for.
Also, when rolled up, the card tends to get caught on the edge of the leather, but in the case of the seam allowance, it does not get caught and is smooth.

Long and beautiful use

Most problems with wallets are caused by hardware and sewing. We do not use any hardware. Corners and edges, which are prone to damage, are covered with layers of outer and inner leather to increase durability. Furthermore, no stitches are used on the folded parts that are subject to friction.
The stitching allowance is as small as possible, and the design prevents the product from losing its shape.

Beautiful details

Precise and delicate stitches, carefully polished leather on the dyed surface, smooth floor surface, and fine lines (nenpiki) drawn around the edges with a hot iron. We pursue beauty down to the smallest detail.

Banknotes remain in place

The banknote pocket opens wide for smooth access.

Partner with Hitoe® Fold

Hitoe® Fold can hold up to 7 cards.
However, if you have too many cards and Hitoe® Fold is not enough...
then the Hitoe® Sextet is the perfect partner.

The two together can hold up to 7+12=19 cards.
Put your receipts, important cards you don't want to stack, and cards you don't use often in the Hitoe® Sextet and put them in your bag.
For money and cards that you carry with you, put them in the Hitoe® Fold and put them in your pocket.

It makes going out even more comfortable.

For those with a few less cards, we also offer the Hitoe® Quartet with 8 card capacity.

Smoothly textured vacchetta leather

The leather used is vacchetta leather, which has been used in the Tuscany region of Italy since the early 9th century. The leather is tanned with vegetable tannin and soaked with oil slowly, so you can enjoy its almost permanent moisture and luster.
The silver surface is smooth and fine, with a natural color variation due to the dye finish, giving the leather an elegant and tasteful look.
The aging process of vacchetta leather stands out among other Italian leathers, and the color and luster deepen beautifully.

Usage Notes

The card pocket has no gusset. Instead, it is made of thinly processed rubbed leather that easily expands and contracts.
Since there is no room in the dimensions, it is a little tight at first, but you will soon get used to it, and once you do, it will fit just right and be comfortable to use.

Also, the leather is designed to close snugly when it is acclimated, so the lid may open a little even if it is initially closed.
