When choosing leather products, wallets and accessories, the key point is "selecting the color of the leather."
Even if the shape and function are the same, just changing the color can make it a more favorite item and bring out the charm of the person who owns it.
In this blog, I would like to talk about the colors of leather products .
If you are considering purchasing leather accessories or a leather wallet as a Christmas gift , or for the lucky day of December 26th , which is said to be "auspicious for purchasing a new wallet," be sure to check out this article!
There is no "wrong" way to choose the color of your leather goods
To put it simply, there are no clear-cut mistakes or no-no's when it comes to choosing the color of leather accessories.
One of the fun things about choosing accessories is being able to combine your favorite colors however you like.
There is no "correct" color, so think about your own lifestyle and the person you're giving the gift to and consider which one would look best on you.
However, there are a few things to consider when choosing a color.
Keeping these points in mind will help you choose the best color more easily.
Points to consider when choosing a color
Keeping in mind that there is no right or wrong when it comes to choosing the color of leather, it is a good idea to keep the following points in mind when selecting a color.
- Balance with everyday clothes (coordination)
- Balance with the leather accessories you currently use
- Does the color change due to aging?
Balance with everyday clothes (coordination)
Many people who wear suits for work choose classic colors such as black and camel , which are suitable for business situations.
In particular, such subdued colors tend to be chosen for items that are likely to be seen by people outside the company, such as business card holders.
Business Card Holder Through Blue
If you want to choose something a little more unique, we recommend "blue" and "green." Although they are unique, they have a subdued color tone, so they are easy to match with formal styles.
Balance with the leather accessories you currently use
For example, if you are using a black leather wallet and want to add a new coin case, the impression will be greatly different depending on whether you choose a coin case that is the same color as the wallet or a color with a different feel .
Using the same colour will give a sophisticated and unified look.
By using different colors, you can add small accents with accessories, which is also attractive.
This is something that depends on personal preference , so there is no right answer.
Which one do you prefer?
Does the color change due to aging?
Leather is a material whose color changes gradually with age .
The Buttero, bridle leather, and cordovan leather used by Munekawa contain a lot of oil, and one of their characteristics is that their color changes significantly over time.
Tuck Blue Card Cases (one unused and one used for several years)
For those who want to enjoy the change in color, we recommend the "Camel" and "Blue" colors . Both colors gradually become darker and deeper.
On the other hand, if you don't want the color to change too much, we recommend black .
The black leather will develop a glossy finish with use, but since it is originally black, the color will not change.
Recommended items for matching in different colors
During the Christmas season, many couples and married couples look for matching items in different colors .
We recommend matching pieces in different colors so that you can both enjoy the different ways they age together.
Bell-shaped key case, bridle leather type
A recommended matching item for the two of you is the " Bell" bell-shaped key case .
In addition to different colors, they are also available in two sizes , M and S , so you can choose the one that best suits the number of keys you need, which is another popular feature.

Enjoy freely choosing the color of your leather accessories!
What did you think?
Choosing the color of your leather accessories can be difficult, but it's also a lot of fun in itself.
We hope you will choose by imagining how you or the person you are giving the gift to will feel when wearing that color.
