Wrapping" the heart, business card case
Tsutsumu® Name Card Case - Liscio
Japanese beauty that "envelops" the soul
Hospitality: wrapping your important business cards in a single piece of leather
In Japan, there is a culture of carefully wrapping important items, such as using furoshiki, fukusa, and noshi bags for gifts.
We designed this business card holder based on this traditional Japanese aesthetic of "wrapping."
No fasteners such as thread, metal fittings, belts, etc. are used. A single piece of high-quality leather is simply folded beautifully like origami to wrap your important business cards.
In Japan, business cards received are treated with respect, as if they were an extension of the other person.
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 person.
Be considerate and considerate towards others
When unwrapping something carefully wrapped, the gesture of unwrapping it also shows consideration and consideration for the other person. In business situations, the priority is not to keep the other person waiting and to be able to take out the business card smoothly with minimal movement.
"Tsutsumu®" has no fasteners, so you can open it quickly and easily take out your business cards.
Once the leather has become more comfortable, you will be able to feel the notch for removing the business card from the top of the lid, allowing you to remove the business card smartly without having to look down and while still looking at the person you are handling the card with.
The charm of leather and elegant design
"Because business cards are so important, we wrap them in the finest materials."
The leather used for Tsutsumu® is soft and has a comfortable feel that makes you want to touch it forever. It is used at its original thickness of about 2 mm, and the more you use it, the more beautiful and tasteful it becomes.
The size is almost the same as a business card, with no wasted space. The perfectly symmetrical and neat design gives off a formal vibe.
Smooth textured vachetta leather
Liscio means smooth in Italian. Made from traditional vachetta leather, the color and luster deepen the more you use it thanks to vegetable tannins and oils. The surface is smooth and finely grained, with natural color unevenness and natural marks , giving it an elegant and tasteful appearance like leather.

Origins
Liscio is an Italian word meaning "smooth. The surface is smooth and fine, with natural unevenness in color, giving the leather an elegant and tasteful look.
Tanning and Manufacturing
Vacchetta leather has been used in the Tuscany region of Italy since the early 9th century. The cowhide is tanned with vegetable tannin extracted from chesnut and mimosa, and then soaked in oil slowly and finished with dyes. The more the leather is used, the more the oil soaks into the leather, deepening its color and luster.
Maintenance
Since it contains sufficient oil inside, oil care is not necessary unless you are concerned about scratches or dryness. We recommend dry brushing with a soft cloth on a daily basis.
