Aria" is as light as air
Aria" means "air" in Italian. It also means a lyrical solo song in opera and religious music.
It is thin, light, and like air, you forget it even exists. Yet it is beautiful and full of originality.
Aria" is made of thin leather with a "solid" (glued all over) surface.
It takes a great deal of
experience and skill to create two thin pieces of leather that can be folded without lifting or bending, giving the illusion of a single piece.

Wrapping an important business card in a single piece of leather
In Japan, there is a culture of carefully wrapping important things, such as furoshiki used for gifts, fukusa, and noshibukuro.
We designed this business card case based on this traditional Japanese aesthetic of wrapping.
No strings, metal fittings, belts, or other clasps are used. Just high-quality leather folded over beautifully like origami to wrap your precious business cards.
In Japan, business cards are treated with the utmost respect.
Tsutsumu®" is a business item that conveys your own dignity and sensitivity as well as the culture of Japanese hospitality to others.
Fully unwrappedUnwrapping gesture that shows consideration for the recipient
When something is carefully wrapped, the act of unwrapping it also conveys care and thoughtfulness. In business situations, it is important not to keep the other person waiting.
Tsutsumu®" has no clasp, so it can be opened quickly and business cards can be taken out smoothly.
The smooth leather inside also allows business cards to glide easily and stress-free.
At first, it is difficult to tell the top and bottom sides apart, but the wax is quickly removed from the lid side, which is often touched by the hand, and the more you use it, the easier it becomes to tell.
Although small, it can hold 25 regular business cards.Neat beauty

Foggy look
Foschia is the Italian word for "fog.
This vegetable-tanned double shoulder leather is white-waxed to give it the look of a morning mist.
The more it is used, the more it rubs and permeates, giving it a translucent look.
The tanning material is made from the fruit of the tara plant, which is a legume native to South America.
It is rare and expensive, but it has the lightest color and lightfastness among vegetable tannins.
Since the leather can be tanned whiter than usual, the beautiful light color is achieved using only dyes, not pigments.
Aging
Shoulder is also the part of the leather that contains many rose scars, uneven colors, blood streaks, and wrinkles, allowing you to enjoy the unique look of natural leather.
The surface of the leather is delicate and prone to stains and scratches. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful not to put it in your pocket with other things.
As the leather is handled and used often, the color and luster will deepen, and scratches and water stains will become more familiar.
Light-colored leather tends to be softer than dark-colored leather, and scratches tend to be more noticeable.
