#33 / Patch pocket wallet / pigskin "SMOKE"

The "Patch Pocket Wallet" is a bi-fold wallet with a coin pocket on the outside, as its name suggests. Its distinctive silhouette and casual design make it a popular choice.

With a coin pocket on the outside, there's no need to constantly try to reduce the coins inside your wallet. It’s also convenient for using coins at the register, as you can take them out without opening the wallet.

The coin pocket can easily hold around 30 coins, with the zipper closing smoothly. Thanks to its capacity, it can also accommodate slightly bulkier items, making it versatile for use not only as a coin holder but also as a pouch for small accessories.

The wallet features eight card slots inside, along with sub-pockets on both sides of the center. This allows for storage of over 10 cards, keeping your everyday essentials neatly organized.

SMOKE

This is REN's original pigskin developed in collaboration with a tannery in Sumida-ku, Tokyo.
The surface is scraped to give it a raised feel and carefully prepared, so-called nubuck, but it is characterized by its firmness and strength. Unlike cloth, each piece of pigskin has a different expression, and the finish is uneven depending on the sensitivity of the craftsman who shaves it. The more one uses this leather, the more one can enjoy the contrast between the long and short hairy parts.
Its smoky shine gives it the name "smoked". Because the surface is scraped, the color tends to transfer easily to clothing. Please be especially careful with white and beige clothes.

As it is used, the surface becomes smoother and shinier. This leather has an appealing character that changes with age.
