What kind of item is a mini key case?
This time we have created a key case based on the concept of " carrying around just the necessary keys in a compact and functional way ."
We started making this product with the idea that as wallets, smartphones, and other personal belongings become smaller, there must be people who want to be able to carry their keys in a more compact way.

The size is Height: 7.3cm x Width: 3.5cm x Thickness: 1.5cm
It's about the same size as a 500 yen coin!
It weighs approximately 12 grams.
We aimed for a size and weight that would not cause any stress when holding it.


It can store 1 to 5 keys.
You can store as many as you really need in a size that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
With this size, it can store up to five bottles, so I think many people will find it very convenient.

It can also be used as a car smart key by using a key ring.
It can be used as both a key holder and a key case.
The types, shapes, and number of keys that people have vary, but by maximizing the "commonalities" among them, we have created a key case that fits the lifestyles of many people.

This is the perfect item for those who work in suits and want to reduce the bulge in the pockets of their jackets and pants.
It is also recommended for creative and IT professionals, and is also good for those who tend to have a lot of dedicated equipment such as PCs and cameras.
For holidays when you want to go out empty-handed and have fun
If you're a cashless person, your holiday style will be even lighter. Just carry your smartphone and this mini key case in a small sacoche or pants pocket. Munekawa staff have already tried it out, and they're impressed by how compact and lightweight it is.
For presents and gifts
This key case is also perfect as a gift. It may be especially suitable for people who have not used leather products much. It is compact and easy to carry, making it an easy item to add to your daily life. At the same time, you can fully enjoy the "pleasure of developing" that only genuine leather can provide.

Munekawa's commitment to products is evident precisely because they are small
Pivot is small and simple, so there's no room for gimmicks.
Because the parts are small, even more delicate and precise work is required.
Pivot is packed with the techniques that Munekawa has cultivated through its production, such as the beautiful polishing of the edge (cross-section of leather) and the meticulous process.

" Because it's simple, we make it careful "
This also applies to all other Munekawa products. Because of its minimalist design, the quality of the finishing of the details determines the overall impression of the product.

And the foundation of this is " high-quality materials ."
The bag is made of Italian Buttero leather, which allows you to enjoy the aging process over a long period of time, and the interior is made of Japanese pig leather.
The material is scratch and stain resistant and highly breathable, so it not only protects your keys but is also durable enough to be used for a long time.
The metal parts are made of brass, so just like leather, they will age the longer you use them.

It's not just small, it's a simple product that you can love for a long time.
This is the concept common to all Munekawa products.
Because Pivot is such a small product, you can really feel Munekawa's attention to detail.
