Before we knew it, cashless payment has become a part of our daily lives.
On the other hand, many people may feel like they don't know how to carry their wallet in a way that suits them, due to an ever-increasing number of cards or a wallet size that doesn't suit the situation.
Just as our lifestyles change, so too is the way we use our wallets. Rather than storing everything in one big wallet, as in the past, we need to use different wallets wisely to suit our current lifestyle. This new style is in demand.
In this article, we will introduce our four ideas on how to use different wallets in this increasingly diverse cashless era. Use this as a reference when choosing your wallet.
Why is it necessary to use different wallets for different purposes?
The spread of cashless payments has brought about many conveniences, but that doesn't mean that physical cash and cards are completely unnecessary.
Rather, a new challenge has arisen: how to carry these items around smartly and beautifully.
With new styles of leather accessories such as mini wallets, card cases, and coin cases appearing one after another, and the number of options increasing, it is important to determine " what you really need ."
There may not be a perfect wallet that can be used in all situations.
That's why the idea of using multiple leather accessories flexibly depending on the situation is the key to making your life richer.
Four wallet patterns to consider based on your lifestyle
Munekawa produces a variety of wallets and leather accessories to suit a variety of lifestyles. Here, we divide them into four main styles and provide specific hints on how to use them.
1. Keep your belongings to a minimum [Minimalist]
For those who value lightness and want to carry the bare minimum, a mini wallet that fits in your pocket and holds only the bare minimum of cards and a little cash is recommended for those who prefer a minimalist style. A mini wallet that holds coins, bills, and cards is recommended for those who prefer a minimalist style. A mini wallet that combines portability and functionality reduces baggage and supports a light lifestyle.

2. Make smart payments [Organized]
You want to store your cards and cash in their proper places and carry them around smartly. You want to keep your wallet tidy and be able to pay elegantly. For those people, a long wallet with a clear storage location and role for each item is a good choice. Another popular feature of long wallets is that you can store bills in an organized manner without folding them.
3. Use it according to the situation [Balanced]
If you want to use different wallets wisely depending on the situation, such as work and private life, we recommend using a long wallet and a mini wallet . Use a sturdy wallet for business situations and a light sub-wallet when going out on the weekend. By using different wallets depending on the situation, you can enjoy incorporating leather into your daily life more flexibly.

Combinations of Munekawa items by style
Now let's take a look at the styles mentioned above with more specific combinations of items.
[Balanced] For those who want to use different functions
◾️In business situations
A long wallet with a mature impression is ideal for situations that require trustworthiness, such as meetings with clients or dining out. The Encase envelope-style long wallet and Hold coin case fit neatly into the inside pocket of a jacket, and will give you a mature and calm demeanor even when paying the bill.
◾️For lunch or holidays
On the other hand, for lunch near the office or a quick outing on the weekend, you can easily carry just the bi-fold wallet Carriage and coin case Undo, which fit snugly in your pocket. By transferring only the cards you need from your main wallet, you can head out with a sense of ease in mind and body.
[For the picky] For those who want to enjoy being "individual"
◾️For those who mainly use card payments
If you make most of your payments with cards or smartphones, you may not need to worry about the shape of your wallet. The slim Tuck card case can hold a few cards and folded bills, allowing you to carry it comfortably with minimal luggage.
◾️Those who want to carry some cash
If you need to carry a certain amount of cash, try the combination of the slim mini wallet Wedge and the tiny coin case Palm . The two together are small enough that they won't get in the way in your pocket.
The joy of "nurturing" your leather accessories.
Munekawa products are not complete when you first start using them. Buttero, a high-quality vegetable-tanned leather from Italy, gains more luster, deepens in color, and becomes softer and more comfortable in the owner's hand the more you use it.
Even the small scratches that occur from daily use will give your item a unique character and help you grow to love it even more.
We believe that this experience of " nurturing leather " is a luxurious way to spend time in an age of material abundance.
In the unlikely event that a thread comes loose or a metal fitting breaks, we can repair it at any time at Munekawa's workshop. Continuing to use one item for a long time and with care. Such sustainable values are one of the things we want to convey.
