What is Epson? Embossed calf leather born in France

"Epson", produced by the long-established French tannery "ROUX" , is a leather material made of high-quality calf leather with fine embossing.

It is characterized by its textured surface created by embossing, and many people may be familiar with it as it is also used in bags and leather accessories from luxury brands.

Made using the chrome tanning method, it is resistant to aging and the grain of the surface makes scratches and dirt less noticeable, so it is recommended for those who do not want the color or quality of the leather to change over time and who want to continue using it in the same condition as when they first started using it .

Four features of Epson's Tuck IC card case for adults

Three independent holders allow for efficient storage

The three pockets on the front, main, and back allow you to separate and organize your IC cards, business cards, credit cards, etc.

Slim design: 67 x 97 mm, approximately 7 mm thick

The size and thickness of the leather parts, as well as the stitching position, are adjusted to the nearest 0.1 mm, making it slim enough to fit easily in a breast pocket or bag while still providing plenty of storage space. It is a lean design that combines all the necessary functions in a compact package.

All parts are made using Epson, and the edges are finished in matching colors.

All parts are made of Epson leather. The black parts have black edges (cross-section paint) and the Etoupe parts have brown pigment used to polish the edges, carefully finishing them to match the color of the leather.

Scratch and water resistant, easy to clean

Epson is highly durable and resistant to scratches and water, so it can be used daily without hesitation. It is a material that is suitable for those who want to keep it in good condition for a long time, rather than those who want to enjoy the changes in texture.

Scenes in which the Tuck card case can be used

As a pass case when commuting
The front pocket is convenient for storing your IC commuter pass without taking it out of the case. It is compact and highly portable, so you won't feel like you're getting bogged down in a crowded train.

As a business card holder
It can hold about 10 business cards of standard size and thickness. It can also be used as a business card holder for those who do not exchange business cards often or who want to have a few extra cards as spares.

For a holiday outing
If you put a few cards and some bills in it, you can easily carry it around as a mini wallet. It's perfect for those who want to enjoy a quick outing to a cafe or museum without having to carry much.

As a sub-case when traveling
The main pocket can also hold Shinkansen tickets. Tickets and transportation IC cards can be managed separately, making it convenient for travel and business trips. It can also be used conveniently as a card case separate from your wallet.

Tuck can be used in a variety of situations and to suit each individual.

Epson does not require much maintenance, so it is recommended for those who have never used leather products before.
