Introducing the masterpiece condom case from Pantarei!
An exotic confidant.
Pantarhei's Masterpiece Condom Case: 'A.Y.O.R.'
A 'confidant' refers to a small, personal sword carried for self-defense. In modern times, this is likely the form taken by Pantarhei's condom case, 'A.Y.O.R. (AT YOUR OWN RISK)'.
This exceptional item, named 'At Your Own Risk,' is designed to instill confidence and drive in men when discreetly slipped into an inner jacket pocket. Its use embodies the very essence of masculine fulfillment.

Inspired by HIV (AIDS Virus) News
The creative director of Pantarhei, Akihito Ko, conceived this unique condom case, 'A.Y.O.R.' The idea for commercialization, he says, was a happy accident.
'I had always been working with crocodiles and wanted to create something interesting beyond wallets and belts. I saw news about AIDS online and learned about the crocodile's powerful immune system, which sparked the idea for this product.'
Crocodiles rarely contract infections even when sustaining severe wounds in germ-ridden wetlands, and their serum has been proven to neutralize the HIV (AIDS virus).
'Although it started as a mere whim, the crocodile leather proved perfect for a case requiring a high degree of safety, and the dedication of our highly skilled artisans perfectly aligned, leading to the creation of this product.'

The 'pattern matching' is judged by its beauty.

A Masterpiece Born from Sewing Technology
Holding this condom case, one is struck by its refined impression, a departure from the old, stiff, and ostentatious reptile-skin items of the past.
'The key is minimizing the thickness when layered. The sewing technique, which stitches the uneven leather at fine intervals, and the meticulous edge finishing create a sophisticated look. Pantarhei's signature is the contrast between a tough, sharp exterior and sensuous curves within. For the A.Y.O.R., we reduced the thickness of the inner leather, achieving a slim and compact design. We used Italy's 'Buttero,' a high-grade vegetable-tanned leather for the interior, paying close attention to the vibrancy of its colors.'

Available in two colors.

The unique 'pattern matching' of the reptile skin is exquisite, and the soft, natural semi-matte finish is a luxurious leather accessory befitting a mature man.
'Our ability to be so meticulous stems from being a tannery. We aim to create a new genre of crocodile leather goods through the delicate craftsmanship of the Japanese and innovative designs that leverage it.'
Crocodile, the representative of exotic leathers, offers the joy of ownership, much like diamonds. The crocodile, a mysterious creature that has remained unchanged for 200 million years, inspires a desire to keep this king of sacred leather close at hand.
