These are the words of Saint-Exupéry, the author of "The Prince of Wales.

2 Wallets this thin

The edges are not "rolled in" but have a "seam allowance". This is in pursuit of "thinness. If the edges are rolled in, the size will be smaller, but the overlap of the leather will increase and it will become thicker.
This detail is faithful to the ideal we are aiming for.

Even in pursuit of thinness, the leather is thick enough, and the texture of tension and firmness are also important.

3 Beautiful details

Precise and delicate stitching, transparently polished koba (cross-section of leather) that reveals the overlapping layers of leather, and thin lines (nenpiki) drawn around the edges with a heated iron. Even the koba of suede, which is said to be impossible to polish, is polished with great care, pursuing beauty down to the smallest detail.

4. Top quality manufacturing method

All parts are made of thin leather with a "sticky" (glued all over ) finish. This technique is said to be the highest luxury of leather products. Two pieces of thinly stripped leather are pasted together to create a stronger, lighter, and thinner finish. It takes a great deal of experience and skill to create a product that looks like a single piece of leather, even when folded without lifting or flexing.

5 Long and beautiful use

Most problems with wallets are caused by hardware and sewing. No hardware is used at all, and only four stitches are used.
In addition, the corners, which are prone to pain, are made more durable by layering the outer and inner leather. The seam allowance is as small as possible, and the design prevents the bag from losing its shape even when used in the back pocket of trousers.
It is a simple and sturdy construction that can be used beautifully for a long time.

角の補強 - HITOE FOLD ARIA The corners are layered with leather for durability.

6 Design in accordance with the providence of nature

Why is the Golden Ratio so beautiful?
The golden ratio 1:1.618 is based on the Fibonacci sequence is the ratio of the length and width of a rectangle consisting of a square with the Fibonacci sequence as one of its sides repeated in a spiral shape. (see figure below).
The Fibonacci sequence is hidden everywhere in nature. Tree branches, the number of petals, sunflower seeds, shells, typhoons. Even in the art of beauty, such as the Pyramids, the Parthenon, and the 36 Views of Mount Fuji.
It is not important to achieve the golden ratio. It is the Fibonacci sequence, in which the proportions from the smallest detail to the whole are deeply related to the providence of nature and life, that results in a harmonious design that resonates with the heart.

Q. Do you have any tips for opening and closing the bag?

If you bend the border between the coin pocket and the card pocket in the shape of a "ku", the inner hook will come off and you can use it smoothly.

When closing, gently press down on the top of the pocket while bending it in a "ku" shape, and the inner hook will naturally fit into the card pocket. The trick is to keep your fingers away from the inner hook.

To close, simply slide the card while holding it down (e.g. Hitoe Fold).

Q. It distorts when I close it.

This is caused by misuse of the inner hook on the outside of the wallet. Please use the inner hook only for the cards you wish to store (e.g. Hitoe Fold).

(Example: Hitoe Fold)

Q. Will coins or cards spill?

If you hang the inner hook on the card, neither coins nor cards will spill.
Even when the wallet is open, the lid of the coin pocket prevents coins from spilling. However, there is a possibility of spillage if the wallet is opened and used horizontally. Please use the wallet in portrait orientation.
The non-slip card pockets are designed to prevent cards from falling out when the wallet is open. Please refer to the product description for the specifications of each product.

Q. Should I choose a right-handed or left-handed wallet?

Please choose right-handed if you handle cards or coins with your right hand, or left-handed if you handle them with your left hand.

Q. I am concerned about the sound of coins.

If you store coins in the pocket so that the coin pocket is vertical, you can prevent the sound of coins. Also, coins can be aligned more easily and automatically.

Q. Won't the coins spill out if I mistake the front side for the back side?

A. No. With use, the leather will develop a habit. Also, we have designed the wallet so that it will not open if you mistake the front side for the back side.

Black and White

Monocromo" is the Italian word for monochrome.
The contrast between the two colors is unique: the outer leather is wet-white tanned and grainy white, and the inner leather is smooth black.

The outer leather is barrel-dyed with dye (aniline) and then sprayed with pigment in five separate coats. It is resistant to scratches and stains, repels water, and hardly ages , so it retains its beauty for a long time. Single-bud ( back to waist ). This is the area with the densest fibers and finest texture, which produces a uniform and beautiful grain when grained.

理想の財布

長年長財布を愛用していましたがキャッシュレス化に伴い小さい財布を探していました。お札、カード、小銭が入れられ尚且つ薄くデザインも良いこちらの財布に惹かれ購入しました。
購入してから2週間経ちましたが当初心配していた小銭やカードの落下は全く問題ありませんでした。非常に満足度の高い商品だと思います。
唯一の不満な点は生産数の少なさ、右利き用の商品の品切れが続いていたので仕方なく左利き用の買いました。慣れたら特に問題はないのですがやっぱり右利き用が欲しかったです。

この度は、数ある商品の中からお買い求め下さり誠にありがとうございます。
長財布からのお買替えにも関わらずご満足頂けましたこと、大変光栄に存じます。
また、理想の財布、と過分なお言葉をいただきスタッフ一同大変励みになります。

利き手により使い勝手が変わることがないように、と商品開発をしておりますが、生産が追いつかない状態が続いており、誠に申し訳ございません。折角お気に召して頂いたにも関わらずご希望に沿えませんでしたこと、大変心苦しくお詫び申し上げます。
今後もお客様から頂く貴重なご意見を参考に、より良い品をお届けできるよう一層精進して参ります。
引き続き、宜しくお願い申し上げます。

スマートでおしゃれな財布

薄さと小ささとモノクロが際立つ都会的なお財布です。
大型の長財布とは対照的な、数枚のカードとお札と少量のコインが入るだけとなります。
機能と見た目から使う人を生活スタイルで選ぶところがあり、クレジットカードやIC乗車券などキャッシュレス生活ができる・したい人向け(おしゃれは窮屈なもの!)
自分は鞄の中にカード・小銭入れを別に用意しています。

この度は、数ある商品の中からお買い求め頂き誠にありがとうございます。
高い評価をいただき、スタッフ一同大変励みになります。
この財布は決して万人向けではございませんが、方向性の近い方々からは唯一無二の存在との評価も賜り、私共も大変光栄なことだと感謝しております。
ロジカルであること、また、既成概念にまで深く踏み込むことで、他にないユニークなものになることを目指しております。
今後もより良い品をお届けできるよう、精進して参ります。
引き続き、宜しくお願い申し上げます。

薄さは申し分無し

薄さの面では、期待通り申し分無し。その分、仕方がありませんが、使う時に気をつけなければ硬貨がこぼれ落ちてしましそうな不安定さを感じます。使い始めてまだ1週間くらいなので、これからもっと慣れてくるとは思いますが。

この度は、数ある商品の中からお買い求め頂き誠にありがとうございます。
ご満足頂けましたこと、大変嬉く存じます。
小銭部分のフラップは、革が馴染むほどに曲げ癖がつき一層落ちづらくなって参ります。 また開閉ですが、インナーフックには触れず、上から軽く押さえながら
「くの字」に曲げて頂きますとスムーズにはまります。
商品ページに動画がございますので、ご参照下さい。
末長くご愛用頂けますと幸いです。今後とも宜しくお願い致します。

周囲の評判も良い!

極薄の財布を探していて、この商品と出会いました。
使うのには自身の慣れと製品自体(皮)の慣れが必要ですが、すぐに解決します。
使用感、本当に良いです。なによりも周りの反応が良く、購入したいとおっしゃる方が出てくるほどです。(嫁も一緒に購入しましたが同じ状況です。)
もう少し右利き用、左利き用のご説明があるとありがたかったということ等、伸び代があるという期待を込めて、星は4つで。

この度は、数ある商品の中からお買い求め頂き誠にありがとうございます。
ご夫婦お揃いでのご購入、大変光栄に存じます。
また温かいお褒めの数々、スタッフ一同大変励みになります。
ありがとうございます。

SYRINXは皆様のお声や応援により育てて頂いております。
この度のお声もまた、大変有り難く心より御礼申し上げます。

ハトメがほしい

コンセプトや作りに申し分なく、財布の機能美を体現したようなフォルムに
ポケットで酷使する想定の使い勝手、利き手の指定が可能なところも私好みで大変素晴らしいのですが一点、
よく歩きポケットで使う都合上ウォレットコードを使う習慣があり、ハトメ穴やリングなどのコードを取り付けられる部位がほしいと思いました。
デザイン性との折り合いが取りにくいパーツなのは承知の上ですが、
このような素晴らしい製品を世に送り出せるSYRINX様ならなんとかできるのではないかと期待を寄せさせていただきたいです。
