Small and thin wallet "HITOE® FOLD". Its minimalist design attracted a great deal of attention in crowdfunding that started on February 8, 2020, and the production volume for one year (3,500 pieces / 51,795,439 yen) was sold out in just 18 days. We achieved the highest amount of crowdfunding in Japan for wallets at that time.

The topical work has been reborn.
-Addition of bill holders-Prevention of shape loss-Improvement of slippage of banknotes-Prevention of skimming-Left-handed support We have sincerely responded to the numerous requests we have received so far, and have evolved into a more complete wallet.

What is HITOE®?

"I want to go out lightly with my hands without a bag!" The HITOE® series was born to fulfill that desire.
This "HITOE ® FOLD" is an evolution of the HITOE ® series that pursues not only "thin" but also "small" wallets.
In pursuit of the ultimate simple design, smooth usability, ample storage capacity, and ideals suitable for the cashless era, we have devised and designed it.

Small, thin leather wallet

"HITOE® (single) structure" that stands out for its thinness

The wallet gets thicker because the cards and coins overlap. The solution to this is the "HITOE® (single) structure". It is overwhelmingly thinner than conventional wallets without stacking cards and coins.
Only 4 to 5 pieces of leather overlap, totaling about 6 mm.
10 banknotes, 15 coins, 6 cards. Even with plenty of storage, it is overwhelmingly thin.

No waste layout

Commitment to design

1 To a more complete design

The painful corners are layered with leather on the surface and leather on the interior. At the same time, the thickness of the leather has been adjusted to improve durability, while the overall thickness has become thinner than before the model change.
It is a more complete design that does not easily lose its shape.

Durable corners and edges

2 Pursuit of thinness

You can reduce the size by changing the "seam allowance", which is a feature of the appearance, to "rolling in (shown below)".
Still, the reason for using "seam allowance" instead of "engagement".
That is to pursue "thinness". "Involvement" is inconsistent with the most important concept of this wallet, "thinness", because even if it gets smaller, the leather overlaps and becomes thicker.
The sharpened tension and dignified appearance can be put together by highlighting the concept.
SYRINX is aiming for the ultimate.

3 Design according to the providence of nature

"Why is the golden ratio beautiful?"
The golden ratio is a rectangle formed by spirally repeating a square with a Fibonacci sequence (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...) as one side. (Figure below) It converges to about 1: 1.618.
And this sequence is hidden everywhere in nature. Tree branches, blood vessel branches, number of petals, sunflower seeds. The spiral shape that connects the vertices can be found not only in shells, typhoons, spiral galaxies, but also in the most beautiful arts such as the pyramids, the Parthenon, and the Thirty-Six Views of Tomitake.
Since it is deeply related to the providence of nature and life, the golden ratio based on the Fibonacci sequence will also touch the heartstrings.
The important thing is not to make each element the golden ratio. The proportions from the details to the whole become a well-proportioned design that resonates with the Fibonacci sequence.

Seven well-thought-out ease of use

It's not just thinness and compactness. We also pursued usability so that each movement can be completed with the least amount of action.

1 A new idea to use the stored card as a fastener

We have devised a unique way to hang the corner holder integrated with the bill holder on the card to be stored. (Patent pending)
Not only does it serve as a flap fastener, it also prevents the card from falling.

Firmly prevents unexpected card drops

2 Put it in leather, that's it.

Appearance just sandwiched between leather. No extra things such as hardware and stoppers stick out, so there is no catch in your pocket.

Consists of leather without using any hardware

3 Quickly open and close with a "dogleg"

You can easily remove the stopper by bending the boundary between the card and the coin into a "dogleg" shape. With this one action, you can access coins, banknotes, cards, everything and check out quickly.

4 Banknotes remain as they are

Just insert the bill without folding it. It has high visibility and is easy to take out. The wallet can be used with the wallet in the vertical direction.

5 Cards smoothly

You can insert and remove cards smoothly by taking advantage of the notch for hanging the stopper. In addition, your fingers go deep into the back of the card, making it easier to grasp.

6 shallow coin pocket

With a shallow coin pocket, you can quickly find the coin you need and quickly remove it. If you close your wallet, you don't have to worry about coins spilling. Contains 999 yen (15 sheets).

7 Can be used habitually for a long time

The seam allowance is extremely small, and the design does not lose its shape even if you use it for a long time.
Also, most wallet problems are caused by hardware and sewing. No hardware is used and there are only 5 pieces to sew. further,Sewing is designed to avoid areas that are easily worn, such as the edges and the center, so that an unreasonable load is not applied.
It is a simple and durable structure that can be used habitually for a long time.

Minimalistic shape without waste

About skimming prevention

Electronic money, my number card, etc.With the spread of non-contact IC cards , skimming prevention measures are becoming more important.
On the other hand, some people don't want to sacrifice texture or thinness for unnecessary features.
A skimming prevention card is attached so that you can choose to use it. Only two contactless cards in close contact can be protected, but they are thin and do not get in the way in your wallet.

* One card is included. You cannot choose the color.

Commitment to Made in TOKYO

High precision is required for the minimal design of SYRINX. At a long-established leather workshop with abundant experience and high technology, SYRINX's commitment is carefully realized.
Thick leather is sewn with a very small width, the floor surface (the back side of the leather) is polished, and the edge (cross section of the leather) is troweled with a thin line (necking), and attention is paid to every detail without compromise.
We perform everything from design to production in Tokyo, and deliver world-class Made in TOKYO quality.

Pursuing simplicity, the engraving is hidden under the card
