Liscio
"Liscio" means "smooth" in Italian. The leather used in this series is "Vacetta leather", which has been handed down in Tuscany, Italy since the beginning of the 9th century. This leather is tanned with natural tree tannins and carefully soaked with oil. The biggest feature is that it mainly uses neatsfoot oil in the greasing process, and it has a unique suppleness. Neatsfoot oil does not easily penetrate into leather, and it takes time to penetrate deep into the fibers. However, once it penetrates, it is hard to come off, and you can enjoy the moisturized and glossy leather quality almost forever.
With its sticky smoothness, it is beautifully deepened in color and stands out among the many Italian leathers.
Deepening color gloss and aging
Vivid and transparent coloring is done with dyes only. Scratches and stains are not hidden by embossing or pigments, so they remain as they are. However, the fact that you can enjoy the texture of raw leather as it is is proof that it is the highest quality natural leather. Please accept the scratches and stains as a unique personality.
The more you use the dyed leather, the deeper the color becomes and you can enjoy aging. When it comes to aging, there is no leather to the right of Vacetta leather. It is beautiful and deepens the color in a short time.
Since it is a leather that grows together, it is also ideal as a gift for new beginnings such as admission, promotion, and employment.
Aging example
Smooth and sticky texture. There is a sense of transparency that shows the expression of the raw leather. The more you use it, the deeper the color and luster.
Camel : The color of camel hair. Bright yellowish brown.
Chestnut : Maroon. Reddish brown.
Teal : The color of the duck's face. The blue-green color gradually becomes darker.
Black : From a matte look to a glossy black.
No need for oil care
The oil that has soaked into the fibers oozes out from the pores as it is used, coating the surface and giving it a glossy appearance. Therefore, no oil care is required.
Please note that adding ready-made leather oil may cause the leather to become too oily and too soft.
The best maintenance is to do nothing and give the leather a proper stimulus.
Since it is not coated, the surface is soft and easily scratched, but some scratches will heal naturally if you rub it with your finger. Even deep scratches become familiar with aging and change to a leather texture.
* A delicate finish is applied so that you can enjoy the original charm of high-quality leather. Therefore, there is a possibility that natural marks such as wrinkles and scratches that originally existed may appear.

Q. What is the difference between Hitoe Fold, Hitoe Fold Aria, and Hitoe Fold Less?
Hitoe Fold Aria" and "Hitoe Fold Less" are our flagship models, which are uncompromising in material, design, functionality, and detailing. The Hitoe Fold Aria can hold 6 cards, while the Hitoe Fold Less can hold 3 cards.
Hitoe Fold" is the second grade of this concept, realized in leather that you can enjoy the texture and the change of material over time. It can hold up to 7 cards.
Other differences are as follows
1 Material
Hitoe Fold" utilizes high quality thick leather (Italian vacchetta leather), which has the characteristics of leather as it is and allows the user to enjoy its leatheriness. The floor (back side) of the leather has been treated to minimize shedding in order to improve the sliding of banknotes and other items.
The "Hitoe Fold Aria" and "Hitoe Fold Less" have luxurious specifications with leather laminated on all parts, and the silver surface is double-layered to achieve both thinness and durability.

2 sizes
Flat size
, Hitoe Fold w92 x h92 mm
, Hitoe Fold Aria w89 x h91 mm
, Hitoe Fold Less w89 x h89 mm
Thickness (thickest part around the clasp)
- Hitoe Fold approx. 10mm (when 5 emboss-less cards are stored ) - Hitoe Fold
Aria approx. 9mm (when 5 emboss-less cards are stored)
- Hitoe Fold Less
There is a slight individual difference.
Please add 0.2-0.3mm per card for embossed cards.
Due to the difference in the feel of the materials, you will probably feel the difference more than the numbers when you hold it in your hand.

3 Difference in feel
Depending on the stitching on the side of the bill holder, the "Hitoe Fold" may feel a tugging sensation when inserting or removing banknotes from the side. Also, the sliding of banknotes may cause a little more friction.
The "Hitoe Fold Aria" and " Hitoe Fold Less" have a card pocket that is designed to prevent cards from falling out even when the clasp is removed.
Q. Do you have any tips for opening and closing?
If you bend the border between the coin and the card in the shape of a "ku", the hook on the card will be released and the card can be used smoothly.

When closing, lightly press down on the top of the flap and bend the flap in a "ku" shape so that the hook fits naturally into the card. The trick is to keep your fingers away from the hook.
Q. When I close it, it distorts.
This is due to misuse of the hook on the outside of the wallet. Please hang the hook only on the card to be stored.
Q. Will coins or cards overflow?
If you hang the hooks on the cards to be stored and close the wallet, there will never be an overflow of coins or cards. When the wallet is opened, the lid of the coin pocket holds the coins in place and prevents them from overflowing. However, if the wallet is used horizontally, coins may overflow. Please use the card vertically.
SYRINX products are made of carefully selected materials. Please handle with care for long-lasting use.
Due to the finish that brings out the texture of the raw hides, there may be scratches, uneven coloring, stains, or wrinkles on the surface. Also, please note that due to the delicate surface, there is a possibility that slight scratches, press marks, abrasions, etc. may be found during the manufacturing process.
Care of the vacchetta leather
No oil care is required for products just received. Vachetta leather contains sufficient oil inside the leather. When the surface of the leather is irritated, the oil contained inside seeps out from the pores and coats the epidermis, making it shiny. It also increases the waterproofing effect. Adding ready-made leather oil to the leather may cause it to become too soft due to excess oil.
The basic maintenance is to wipe dry. Use a soft cloth or leather brush.
If the surface becomes dry after prolonged use, we recommend using a wax with wax and oil as its ingredients.
Since leather is very delicate to water and easily deformed by moisture, we recommend the use of a fluorine-based waterproofing spray. (However, please use at your own risk.)
Please refer to the following page for the spraying instructions with pictures.
Waterproof Spray Method
Because tanned leather is dyed and finished, its surface is very delicate and easily scratched. However, if the leather is used with care, scratches and stains will gradually become a part of its texture. Daily wiping with a soft cloth and brushing are recommended, but the best maintenance is to use the leather and give it the proper amount of stimulation.
Other points to note
- Size may change slightly with use.
- Color fading may occur. Please be careful not to combine with light-colored clothing.
- Color and texture may vary depending on the lot and part.
- Due to changes in temperature and other factors, oil and fat components may appear white on the surface. It can be removed by lightly rubbing the surface.
- When storing the product for a long period of time, please air dry the product regularly with a soft cloth to prevent mold from forming.
- The contents should not be left in place for long periods of time, but should be removed periodically to allow airflow inside.
- The color of the product may look slightly different from the actual color of the product depending on the monitor environment.
