Challenging the Norm of Thinness
When you put things in a wallet, it gets thick—
That's a universally accepted notion.
The Hitoe® L-zip L challenges that notion.
A thin long wallet that stays thin even when fully stored
|Wallets get thick when cards overlap
Most common long wallets are designed with cards arranged in a single horizontal row.
All cards overlap in the center, and with the addition of dividers and gussets, the thickness increases.

|Less than half the thickness: "Double Card Pocket"
Since 2019, SYRINX has been addressing this structural challenge with its "Double Card Pocket."
By distributing cards to two locations, left and right, our unique layout (registered design) halves the overlap.
Furthermore, by combining this with the Hitoe® structure, where cards do not overlap with coins, we have achieved a seemingly contradictory structure that "stays thin even when stored."

|Only 10mm even when stored
By reducing overlapping leather to the absolute minimum,
the thickness is only 10mm even when storing [8 cards, 10 banknotes, 10 coins].
Even with up to 16 cards, it's 13mm.
The bottom always remains at 10mm.
Maximum 13mm (10mm at the bottom)
Typical wallets lose their shape with just a few cards.
The Hitoe® L-zip L maintains its thinness and beautiful form even when fully loaded.
Comparison with iPhone (not an empty wallet)
To achieve ultimate thinness, usability, and beauty
The 2025 model of Hitoe® L-zip L is 1mm narrower and 3mm shorter.
Yet, it offers even more internal space than before.
To reconcile conflicting elements, the internal structure was fundamentally redesigned.
New technologies were introduced into every pocket.
- SmartFit (top card pocket)※
- Floating U (coin pocket)※
- Under U (side card pocket)
- Twist-in (common to all card pockets)※
- WrapEdge (banknote pocket)
(* SmartFit, Floating U, and Twist-in are newly filed design registrations.)
|SmartFit - Top Card Pocket
A variable structure that optimizes thickness according to the number of cards.
It fits snugly without unnecessary gaps, whether there's 1 card or 8.
Keeps the banknote pocket wide, providing comfortable usability.
|Floating U - Coin Pocket
U-shaped structure fixed at the top.
To keep it thin, it's important not to accumulate coins.
It's easy to see inside without opening it wide, and coins can be removed smoothly.
Naturally leads to organizing coins as you use it.
|Under U - Side Card Pocket
Card pocket located under the coin pocket.
Neatly stores up to 8 cards without strain.
Maintains a beautiful line.
|Twist-in
A structure that is easy to use for both right-handed and left-handed individuals.
Lightly twist the card to open the pocket, allowing the first card to be inserted smoothly.
|WrapEdge - Banknote Pocket
Banknotes are directed to the wrap-around side, not sewn in.
They slide in smoothly to the back, are less likely to get caught in the zipper, and there's more room for banknotes.
An additional leather lining enhances comfort, texture, and durability.
Other improvements
|Perfect minimalism with no waste
Many long wallets adopt a wide-opening structure to retrieve coins from the back.
However, coins accumulate at the bottom, distorting its shape and ruining its silhouette.
The Hitoe® L-zip L has a structure that allows access to everything without opening it wide.
It has no unnecessary parts, doesn't increase thickness, and is a complete minimalist design.
|Double zipper for optimized operation
Special structure with sliders at both ends.
Access is immediate by opening only the required side.
No need to fully open the zipper every time.
Uses YKK's top-grade EXCELLA® zipper.
|Original design zipper pull
Minimalist in shape, yet allows attachment of straps and charms.
SYRINX's philosophy is embedded in every small detail.
|Square shape creating extra space
The square bottom efficiently utilizes internal space.
There are no internal parts for about 1cm from the bottom, eliminating elements other than cards.
As a result, the shape is neat, achieving both thinness and beauty.
|Ample storage capacity, even for a passport
The Hitoe® L-zip L excels as an extremely thin long wallet for everyday use.
But it's not just thin. It also offers the flexibility to neatly organize essentials like passports, bank passbooks, various tickets, and even keys, for various occasions.
When a passport is inserted, the card capacity is limited to 10 cards.
If an AirTag or keys are inserted, the coin capacity decreases slightly.
However, this balanced approach preserves its thinness and elegant appearance.
From daily use to international travel, its high versatility allows it to remain organized in any situation.
This is the new face of the Hitoe® L-zip L as a "smart organizer."
※ When storing a passport/passbook, up to 10 cards (5+5) can be stored.
About Liscio Leather
Smooth and Refined Vacchetta Leather
Vacchetta leather has been handed down in the Tuscany region of Italy since the early 9th century.
Its surface is smooth and fine-grained, with an elegant and rich character that deepens in color and gloss as it ages with use.
| Compact Yet Global
Surprisingly, many currencies around the world are larger than Japan’s ¥10,000 bill or ¥500 coin.
This wallet accommodates most of them, making it comfortable to use even when traveling abroad.
The new Hitoe® L-zip L.
Experience its thinness and beauty in your hands.
Origins
Liscio, Italian for "smooth." Its surface is smooth and fine-grained, with natural color variations and natural marks, giving it a sophisticated and rich leather-like appearance.
Tanning and Manufacturing
"Vacchetta leather" is a traditional Italian leather tanning technique from Tuscany, dating back to the early 9th century. Cowhide is tanned with vegetable tannins extracted from chestnut and mimosa, then slowly infused with oil and finished with dye. The internal oils gradually emerge with use, deepening its color and luster.
LWG (Leather Working Group) environmental certification: Silver rank.
Maintenance
Due to the sufficient oil content, oil treatment is not necessary unless you are concerned about scratches or dryness. For daily care, we recommend wiping with a soft, dry cloth or brushing. For more details, please refer here.
Colors
Camel
Chestnut
Teal
Black
* The displayed colors may differ slightly from the actual colors due to differences in dye absorption depending on monitor environment, as well as the condition and part of the original hide, and seasonality.
The Hitoe® L-zip series has been highly praised both in Japan and internationally, including setting a new record for the highest crowdfunding amount for a wallet in Japan in 2019.
