Hitoe Fold Aria
Hitoe Fold Aria is a thin leather wallet designed for going out without a bag. A single layer structure keeps cards and coins from overlapping, so only four or five layers of leather meet. The wallet is about 9 mm thick and weighs about 33 grams when holding five bills and five cards. A triangular hook holds the stored cards and prevents them from falling out. Bills are inserted without folding, and a shallow coin pocket allows coins to be found quickly. Italian vegetable-tanned leather is used, and production takes place in Tokyo.

The A' Fashion and Travel Accessories Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade which recognizes exceptional design of handbags, scarves, belts, luggage, hats, travel bags, cravats, gloves, wallets and more.
