#50 / Mini wallet / cowhide "SOLUM"

Among REN's wallets, the "Mini Wallet" is the smallest. This compact tri-fold design fits in the palm of your hand, yet it is surprisingly spacious in terms of storage capacity. Just because it's small doesn't mean you have to compromise on storage; this mini wallet proves that.

The wallet features a snap-button coin pocket on the outside. The mini wallet has a simple design with a coin compartment, a space for bills, and three card pockets located at the back.

The bill compartment can hold approximately 10 bills. When you place cards in each of the three card pockets, it takes on this shape. Initially, the leather may feel tight due to its stiffness, but as you use it, the leather will stretch, allowing for an increase in the number of cards stored. You can stack a few cards in each pocket for additional storage.

The coin pocket also becomes more spacious as the leather softens over time, increasing its storage capacity. This wallet offers the enjoyment of experiencing both the change in leather quality and the transformation of storage space as you use it.

This mini size is also recommended for those who prefer to carry a reasonable amount of cash. Of course, it is perfect for a slim use, holding just a few cards and some coins.

SOLUM

This cowhide is tanned with vegetable tannin, a traditional method using "astringent" extracted from the bark and leaves of plants.

The firm texture and tight fibers are typical of cowhide. The thickness is further thinned by straining it a little, making it supple without compromising durability, and adjusting it in an exquisite balance. The relatively low density of the fibers tends to make the backside look shaggy and fluffy, but this has been carefully treated to create a smooth texture.

It is typical of leather that the more it is used, the deeper the color becomes. Unlike the type where hand grease and dirt adhere to the surface, the impression is that they permeate all the way to the depths of the leather. It can be nurtured while being cared for from time to time, which tickles the hearts of leather lovers.
