Our staff work with leather in the workshop every day.
When actually using the items they made, they often find themselves thinking, "This is convenient," or "This is how it grew."
This time, we will introduce some of our staff's favorite items that they use regularly , along with their charms that they have discovered in their daily lives and some little tips on how to use them.

Bell-shaped key case "Bell M"
Reasons for recommendation
This is a key case that can store keys in a pouch-like section.
We recommend this bag because you can easily take out your keys by undoing the button on the strap and using the weight of the keys.It has a large capacity so you can carry a lot of keys without worry, but once the leather becomes more comfortable it adapts to the shape of the contents and doesn't become too bulky .
Favorite points
I usually only carry three or four keys, but I find that the size is perfect for me as it's easy to find in my bag and doesn't take up much space in my pocket.
A key case is an item I always take with me when I go out, so one of my favorite things about it is how the Buttero changes over time .
Its soft texture makes you want to touch it all the time, and the color changes as it gradually deepens, which is fun to watch. I've been using it for almost four years now, and I've grown to love it more and more.

Business card holder "Through"
Reasons for recommendation
The best thing about it is its functionality .
I like how easy it is to use and how you can easily remove business cards by placing them in the sleeve facing the person you are exchanging cards with .
It's also recommended for people who have just started working and are not yet used to exchanging business cards.
Its simple, angular, formal design makes it a versatile business card holder that can be used by anyone.
The through bag has a "through gusset" structure where the bottom and sides are connected by a single piece of leather, so it has a large storage capacity and is recommended for those who want to carry a lot of business cards!
Personal usage
I always want to keep business cards of people I've exchanged business cards with recently and people I frequently contact, so I store about 40 of them, including my own.
I use three different business card holders depending on my mood at the time .
The one I currently use mainly is blue. I keep the business cards I've received in the green, and the discontinued orange is used as a card case to keep all the cards I need.

Production Staff Abe's recommended items
Slim business card holder "Meet"
Reasons for recommendation
Meet is a slim business card holder, but it has four pockets so it can be used not only as a business card holder but also as a card case.
It is thin and compact, has plenty of storage space, and is easy to organize, so it can be used for a variety of purposes.
As a business card holder, it has a modest capacity, but I think it is suitable for people who don't exchange business cards often or who want to store cards in a way that suits their lifestyle.
Favorite points
Above all, I like how it's thin and not bulky, and how easy it is to organize and take out the contents.
Like the Through business card holder, it is designed to allow for smooth exchange of business cards, so it can also be used as a business card holder.
The rounded corners give it a casual look, making it easy to use and suitable for both business and everyday use.

L-shaped zipper "Cram" / IC card case "Tuck"
Reasons for recommendation
This set is recommended for those who want to store the minimum amount of cash and cards necessary in a compact manner. I have been using this style for about seven years now.
While cashless transactions are becoming more common, there are still times when you need cash for work or travel.
The Cram can hold the minimum amount of cash (15 bills and coins) and cards (about 7-8 cards) , while the Tuck can carry a minimal amount of cards (about 7 cards), including IC cards, credit cards, bills, and business cards. Recommended for those who want to keep their luggage as small as possible!
Favorite points
I especially like the U-shaped storage of Cram. Because you can store bills without folding them, they are less likely to get bent , and it's easy to take them out when paying.
It is also easy to take things in and out, making it a great wallet for those using a mini wallet for the first time.

Shoulder bag "Caddis"
Reasons for recommendation
At first glance it may look compact, but it has more storage capacity than it looks, and its wide width and depth make it easy to put things in and take them out, which is one of its great features.
You can fit A4 size files, laptops, and other large items in the pouches. I often carry a water bottle, a mobile battery, and other items in the two pouches.
When you need to take something in or out, you can easily do so while the bag is still hanging on your shoulder , rather than having to take it off like a backpack, which is another great feature.
Favorite points
I like that the front pocket has a three-dimensional structure, making it easy to manage and access small items.
When fishing , take out and put away your valuables such as your wallet frequently. They often contain fishing gear such as flies (artificial bait).
Personally, I like the combination of leather and canvas, as I think it suits my casual style of clothing.
Especially the beige! It gets a little dirty, but if you use it without worrying about it, it will develop a nice character and you will grow to love it. My wife also uses it sometimes, so it is a favorite bag for both of us.
▶︎ Order the "Caddis" shoulder bag here
*The beige Caddis shoulder bag is currently sold out, but the old beige version is still available exclusively at our directly managed stores. (The one used by Munetakawa is also the old version.)
You can also make your purchase via email, so if you would like the beige version, please contact us using the inquiry form .
summary
What did you think?
What we value most when we create our products is the comfort and sense of security that makes people want to pick them up before they know it .
Perhaps the reason you'll want to use it for a long time is that you can enjoy watching the leather change and it naturally become a part of your lifestyle.
I hope that this article will inspire readers to expand their imagination and think, "How would I use this?"
