"Aria": Light as air

The Aria series is thin, light, and so airy that you forget it's even there. Yet it is beautiful and full of originality.
About Foschia Leather
Waxed Leather Veiled in Mist
“Foschia” means “fog” in Italian. This leather is characterized by its white, misty waxed finish, reminiscent of a morning fog.
As you use it, the wax gradually absorbs into the leather, revealing a clear and elegant sheen.
The finest unparalleled tailoring
All parts are made using the Musou technique , which involves gluing two thin pieces of leather together to create a single piece. This technique is said to be the ultimate luxury in leather products , achieving both strength and thinness . It requires extensive experience and skilled techniques to create a finish that remains firm and supple even when bent, just like a single piece of leather.

Japanese beauty that "envelops" the heart
Wrapping your important business card in a single piece of leather
In Japan, there is a culture of carefully wrapping important items, such as furoshiki, fukusa, and noshi bags used for gifts.
The business card holder was designed based on this traditional Japanese aesthetic of "wrapping."
No fasteners such as threads, metal fittings, or belts are used. High-quality leather is simply folded beautifully like origami paper to wrap your important business cards.
In Japan, business cards received are treated with respect.
"Tsutsumu®" carefully wraps your important business cards, and is a business item that conveys not only your own dignity and sensibility, but also the Japanese culture of hospitality to the other party.

All solved
Be considerate and considerate of others
When you unwrap something carefully, the act of unwrapping it also shows consideration and thoughtfulness. In business situations, it is important not to keep the other person waiting.
"Tsutsumu®" has no fasteners, so it opens quickly and you can easily take out your business cards.
The interior is also made of smooth leather, so business cards slide easily and without any stress.
At first it may be difficult to tell the top from the bottom, but the wax on the lid, which you touch most often, will come off quickly, and the more you use it, the easier it will be to tell the difference.

Although it is small, it can hold 25 regular business cards.

Origins
Foschia means "mist" in Italian. It is characterized by its appearance, covered in white wax like a morning mist. As you use it, the wax penetrates the leather, revealing a translucent finish.
Tanning and Manufacturing
Made from bovine shoulder leather from Northern Europe. After vegetable tanning, the surface is lightly buffed (polished) and then treated with white wax. The tanning agent used is derived from the tara pod, a legume native to South America. Although rare, it produces the lightest color among vegetable tannins and offers excellent lightfastness. This allows for a whiter tan than usual, achieving beautiful light colors using only dyes, without pigments. Natural marks may also be visible.
LWG (Leather Working Group) environmental certification Gold rated.
Maintenance
As the wax gradually penetrates, it develops an elegant and natural luster. Furthermore, it contains an appropriate amount of oil, so oil care is unnecessary unless scratches or dryness are a concern. For more details, please refer to here.
Light colors are delicate on the surface and prone to visible stains and scratches, so careful handling is required.
