A Cordovan Long Wallet Under 50,000 Yen!



"Warm Crafts Manufacture" is the original brand from Shinki Leather, a Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture-based company specializing in horsehide, often called the "King of Leather" or "Diamond of Leather." Its cordovan products, leveraging the tannery's strengths, have garnered a devoted following.

The long wallet released in this limited edition features a navy color, notoriously difficult to achieve with cordovan. The high level of skill required to produce it means very few items are made, making this a rare and highly sought-after color.

The cordovan used in this navy long wallet undergoes a meticulous pigment finishing process, imparting a superior transparency compared to other cordovan leathers. Furthermore, it's treated with a wax finish to resist scratches upon first use, gradually revealing a deep, lustrous sheen over time.

Additionally, the interior is lined with horsehide tanned using a special resin treatment. This innovative material offers a degree of water resistance, typically a weakness for tanned leather, without compromising its natural texture, making it a notable feature.

Warm Crafts Manufacture's curated selection, available exclusively at their directly managed stores in Hankyu Men's Tokyo and Hankyu Men's Osaka, is another appeal. For those seeking cordovan products, known for their robust fiber structure and substantial texture that deepens with age, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
