New Hitoe® Fold
Refined Functional Beauty
"Hitoe® Fold -Liscio-", which set the domestic record for wallet crowdfunding(*), has been re-released as the "Aria" series, making this acclaimed product even easier to use, thinner, smaller, lighter, stronger, and more beautiful.
Its sophisticated design and exquisite craftsmanship have elevated it to a breathtaking level of refined functional beauty.
A left-handed model, which was highly requested, will also be released.
Aria: Light as Air
"Aria" means "Air" in Italian. It also refers to a lyrical solo vocal piece in opera or sacred music.
Thin, light, and barely noticeable like air. Yet, beautiful and highly original – that is the "Aria" series.
For the "Aria", we use a "full adhesive" technique for thin leather, where two thinly skived pieces of leather are bonded together with adhesive across the entire surface. This technique, considered a high luxury in leather products, results in a stronger, lighter, and thinner finish.
The exterior is made of white-waxed leather, and the white powder is called bloom, which is wax. As you use it, the surface wax will rub off and penetrate, revealing a transparent appearance.

Regarding Design Modifications
Although we were already in the initial stages of mass production, we discovered several points that needed correction, so we decided to re-manufacture the dies from scratch. A major modification is that the width of the wallet will be reduced.
While there will be no significant changes to the appearance, we plan to replace the product photos at a later date.
