No.08 Long Wallet【Rugato】

A long wallet, meticulously tailored into the most formal and elegant shape for a wallet. The main body features exquisite shoulder leather, polished like a jewel, from Swiss hides finished by Belgium's only tannery. The interior is luxuriously appointed with lustrous domestic tanned leather. This highly practical piece boasts a unique beauty and sophistication, combining the functionality to store bills, coins, and cards, with the striking contrast of transparent midnight blue and camel orange leather. 【Main Body Leather】 The main body uses "Rugato" shoulder leather (Color: Midnight Blue), produced by "Tannerie Mazur," Belgium's sole tannery. This leather, crafted from high-quality Swiss hides raised around the Alps using traditional vegetable tanning, is characterized by its beautiful, transparent luster and natural, deep color variations (commonly known as "tiger stripes"). Its vibrancy has earned it the nickname "jewel of leather." 【Interior Leather】 The interior is made from domestic cowhide tanned leather (Color: Camel Orange) with a beautiful transparency and vibrant color. As it is used, it will deepen in color and luster, much like a ripe orange. 【Card Pockets】 Six card pockets are arranged behind the flap, allowing for easy visibility of your cards at a glance. 【Bill Compartment】 The gusseted bill compartment makes it easy to see the contents and allows for smooth insertion and removal of bills. 【Coin Purse】 The zippered coin purse, located in front of the bill compartment, is wide and makes coin retrieval easy. It uses a domestic YKK zipper, and a luxurious leather pull tab has been attached to the slider for ease of grip. 【Free Pockets】 Two free pockets are placed: one in front of the coin purse and another behind the card pockets. These are perfect for storing receipts and tickets. 【Beautiful Edges with Cut-Edge Polishing】 "Cut-edge polishing" is the most traditional and valuable method for finishing leather edges. This technique involves shaving the edge flat, then repeatedly applying dyes and a mixture of glue and wax, and polishing it to create a finish that makes multiple layers of leather appear as if they were a single piece, both in look and feel. This process is time-consuming and requires significant skill and knowledge of leather properties, serving as a testament to the artisan's hand-finishing rather than mass production. ====================== 【Product Specifications】 Size: Exterior = Height 9.2 x Width 19.0 x Thickness 2.2 cm Height when open: 18.6 cm Weight: Approx. 130g Materials: Main Body = Belgian Shoulder Leather (Color: Midnight Blue) Interior = Japanese Tanned Leather (Color: Camel Orange) Hardware: Zipper = YKK Zipper (Gold) Features: Gusseted bill compartment, coin purse, 6 card pockets, 2 free pockets ====================== *As this product is made to order, please allow approximately one month from the time of your order.
