With the start of a new year, many people are probably feeling like they want to make their daily lives more organized , or live a lighter, more comfortable life .
Simple and functional leather accessories respond to this desire for change.
For example, by reviewing the wallet and card case you use every day, you can refine your belongings and improve the overall organization of your life.
In today's blog, we will introduce some points to consider when choosing such items and some leather accessories recommended by Munekawa .
Choose only the essentials and enjoy a lighter lifestyle
The minimalist lifestyle, with the keywords " simple and functional " and only having what is necessary, is perfect for modern life.
By eliminating waste and choosing high-quality items, you will not only be able to use your items every day, but you will also feel lighter on your mind.
Our recommendation is to reassess your belongings .
For example, choosing based on the following criteria will greatly increase your daily comfort:
Easy to carry
One of the key points for a comfortable life is a compact size that fits in your pocket or bag. Light weight and thickness mean you can easily take it with you wherever you go.
Wallets are one item where you can easily see the changes that come with making them small and compact.
With the spread of cashless payments, mini wallets and card wallets have become popular.
However, there are many occasions when cash is useful, and I think there are many people who want to carry not only cards but also bills and coins. For those people, we recommend the L-shaped zipper wallet Cram .
The key feature of Cram is that it can store a large amount of bills, coins, and cards, and its compact size makes it fit in the palm of your hand.
Although it has less storage capacity than a typical bi-fold wallet or long wallet, it makes it easier to develop the habit of organizing, such as reviewing unnecessary cards.
This is also a recommended item for those who want to start with a mini wallet .

Functionality
When thinking about a well-organized life, functionality is also an important point.
It is appealing to keep everything together in a wallet with high storage capacity, but it is also convenient to store the things you need in their appropriate places so that you can easily take them out when you need them.
For those who want to simplify their money and card matters, we recommend a card case.
If you keep the cards you use most frequently in your wallet in a card case, you will have fewer opportunities to take out your wallet, and by splitting them between two items, you will be less likely to put strain on your wallet due to having too many cards in it .
The Tuck card case is compact yet has three pockets, allowing you to store business cards, credit cards, IC-type commuter passes, etc. separately.
If you've never used a card case before, why not try starting one now, at the start of the year?

Material texture
"Using good things for a long time" is an important concept for living a simple and well-organized life.
What's most important is the material .
The texture of the leather improves with use, giving you the pleasure of using it for a long time.
One of the charms of leather accessories is that each one has its own unique personality.
The slim bi-fold wallet Carriage is one of the leather accessories that makes use of the characteristics of leather, which ages over time.
When you first start using it, it has the firm texture that is typical of Italian Buttero leather, but as you begin to use it, the leather gradually softens.
The way things change will vary from person to person depending on the amount of storage.
The way the wallet adapts to the user gives you a sense of enjoyment as it gradually grows into your own unique wallet .
This is a leather wallet with a simple design that makes the most of the texture and characteristics of the leather, and you can feel the ingenuity and skill put into it to make it last longer.
