Redefining the thin wallet.
What is a thin wallet?
Previous "thin wallets"
What kind of wallet is a thin wallet?
For example, a thin wallet that is thin when empty, like a fragment case.
It certainly looks thin and smart.
However, its storage capacity is limited, and if you try to store too much, its shape will be ruined, compromising both its appearance and usability.
Then, is it a compact wallet that can store items efficiently?
It's designed to maintain its thinness even when stored, by rationally arranging cards and bills.
However, if the contents increase with daily use, the storage will eventually reach its limit, and the wallet will gradually become thicker.
Up until now, thin wallets have been valued for their "thin form."
But we are looking at the essence beyond that.
Staying thin and close to you
What's truly important is the ability to stay thin and close to you.
For us, a "thin wallet" is not just a form, but an experience itself.
If it's only thin in appearance, it can't maintain that thinness during daily use.
What's needed is a structure where stored items don't accumulate easily with each use.
Causes of a thick wallet
The contents of a wallet change little by little in daily life.
Cards, bills, receipts, and coins.
Among these, coins are most likely to affect the thickness of the wallet.
Why coins create thickness
Designing a thin pocket might keep the wallet thin.
However, structures that open and close with metal fittings, or pockets that are too cramped or too deep, make it difficult to take out coins.
As a result, coins are used less often and accumulate in the wallet with each payment.
And this accumulation creates the thickness of the wallet.
Simply making the coin pocket smaller does not make a thin wallet.
In fact, if it becomes difficult to use because it's too small, the wallet will quickly become thick or cease to be used.
Structure that prevents coins from accumulating
What's truly important is that coins don't accumulate easily.
・Easy to see
・Easy to organize
・Easy to take out
Only with this ease of use can coins not accumulate and the wallet remain thin and usable.
Thinness is not created by form alone.
It is naturally maintained as a result of thoroughly pursuing ease of use.
Implementation of Hitoe®
For example, the coin pocket of the Hitoe® Fold has the following features:
・Shallow and highly visible
・Coins are easily aligned just by putting them in
・Has an appropriate gusset, not cramped, and easy to take out
・Bills and coins can be accessed simultaneously by simply opening the wallet
It is designed with a clear intention to make coins easy to use and prevent them from accumulating.
Also, the "Floating U" coin pocket of the Hitoe® L-zip L is designed with the same concept.
