#49 / Flat long wallet / cowhide "BUBBLE CALF"

The main body features an L-shaped zipper, making it an ultra-slim long wallet. Despite its slim profile, it boasts a functional design with dedicated compartments for bills, cards, and coins.

Due to its slim body, it can be carried compactly without taking up much space in your pocket or bag.

When you open the zipper, you'll find a coin pocket in the center and card slots on both sides. Bills can be stored flat without folding, keeping them in pristine condition.

The sewing of REN's Address Wallet is done by Yukari Kimura, the designer of the leather item brand "LITSTA," which has a shop in Kuramae. This wallet is a product born from the unique connections within the Kuramae community.

The skiving process to adjust the leather thickness and the branding of REN's logo are also done by Ms. Kimura's skilled hands. Each piece is crafted meticulously, ensuring that every step is carried out with care and precision, without skipping any details. She carefully feels and assesses each piece of leather, making sure the final product meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

BUBBLE CALF

This shrink-wrapped calf is tanned by the prestigious French tannery Dupuis.

Only the highest quality raw hides are carefully selected from European calves, mainly from France, and finished by chrome-tanning. The high quality surface has good coloring, moderate elasticity, and a suppleness that makes the leather feel as if it is absorbent in your hand. It is resistant to water and dirt, and even after use, the grain does not collapse and continues to change into a beautiful expression. One of the reasons why we chose this luxury leather, which is well-known in the leather industry and especially supported by maisons, is that it has a natural grain but a rubber-like texture. I was intuitively attracted to this hybrid look.

I am also attracted by the fact that the expression changes depending on the part to be cut, and I pay a lot of attention to the cutting process.
