STAFF MAGAZINE-Vol.16 New compact wallet series
■Thinking about wallets for bikers
In the 1990s and 2000s, biker wallets were heavy, large wallets made of sturdy leather .
Attaching a metal or leather wallet rope to it and hanging it from a belt became a staple of biker coordination, and I think it established the biker style along with a heavy leather rider's jacket.
However, time has passed since then, and cashless payments have become mainstream, and in an era where there are even people who don't own wallets, we reconsidered ``what is a wallet for a biker?'' and created this wallet.
This time I would like to introduce three types of new wallets.
-Even in a cashless society-
Nowadays, it has become commonplace to use cards and electronic money instead of cash, but not everything is OK with electronic payments, and it is a good idea to carry some cash, especially for local toll roads and small purchases at souvenir shops. .
And due to changes in styling, compact and thin wallets have become more important than large, heavy wallets in the general apparel market.
Even in the motorcycle scene, in order to concentrate on riding, I have recently begun to think that it is better to have something that is not bulky even if you put it in your pocket or bag as much as possible.
In the development of this wallet,
- Compact and portable
-
Easy to take out things at short notice
We create this product with these two points in mind.
This wallet was produced under the supervision of Morpho Co., Ltd., a domestic wallet manufacturer.
We are proud of our uncompromising craftsmanship, which is said to be the best in Japan.
After more than a year of detailed discussions and trial production, we finally decided to go into production.
The leather material used is "OILED VINTAGE STEER," which is popular among KADOYA HEAD FACTORY products.
When producing leather accessories, instead of using a finish for jackets, we have adopted a finish with a smooth surface without grain for this wallet series.
Like riders, it has the strength of leather, but it has a rich texture and can be enjoyed as it changes over time.
We would be happy if you could pick up our new wallet series, which was designed to naturally match both the motorcycle scene and everyday use.
