1. What are the points to consider when choosing a wallet?
When choosing a wallet, there are so many options that I don't know what to buy.
I use things that I choose "somehow."
I'm sure there are many people who have such concerns.
What we think is important when choosing a wallet
"I like the design"
"The ease of use must fit into your lifestyle."
These are the two points.
The first one is very simple, but if you're using a wallet that you don't like the look of, you won't feel good, no matter how functional it is.
That would be a shame.
It's something you touch every day, so as makers, we want you to choose a wallet that lifts your spirits and that you can use for a long time.
The second is whether the usability fits into your lifestyle.
Let me give you a few examples.
① [A: Cash] [B: Cashless]
② Wallet [A: Put it in your bag] [B: Put it in your pocket]
③ Luggage when going out [A: Normal] [B: Small (Want to reduce)]
④Bag you own [A: Large to normal size] [B: Small size]
⑤ Number of cards carried [A: 8 or more] [B: 7 or less]
⑥Because of my job, I carry [A: It's hard to venture out][B: There are no particular restrictions]
⑦ Receipts, coupons, etc.
[A: Save some money in your wallet and organize it all together]
[B: Organize regularly]
And more.
By taking another look at the "points you cannot compromise on" or, in the case of a gift, taking into consideration the recipient's personality and habits, I think you will be able to choose a wallet that you will want to use for a long time.
2. Let's look at the features of each wallet
Wallet with coin purse
Consider what kind of wallet would suit you.
Now, let me introduce you to the wallet in detail.
This time, we will introduce some Munekawa wallets.
Can store bills, coins, and cards all together
We have picked out three types of wallets.
01. L-Zip wallet “Cram”

It is compact enough to easily store in your pocket.

□How to use
I actually tried storing some cash and cards in it.
7 cards
8 bills (2 x 10,000 yen bills, 5 x 5,000 yen bills, 1 x 1,000 yen bills)
12 coins
The L-shaped zipper wallet is recommended for people who make a lot of cashless payments but still want to carry a certain amount of cash, so in reality you might carry fewer bills, but this time I've put in the amount based on the storage capacity.
The most distinctive feature of Cram is the way it stores bills.
By passing the bills under the coin purse and placing them in a U shape,
This eliminates the inconvenience that is typical of zipper wallets.
≪Advantages of putting in a U shape≫
✓Easy to read
✓Easy to take in and out
✓Bills are less likely to have clear creases
✓Even if you put a lot of bills in it, the coin purse keeps them from floating away and getting caught in the zipper.
✓ The coin purse is shallow, making it easy to see and take out coins.
✓ Easy to take out bills, coins, and cards without changing the orientation
On the right side there are two card pockets that can hold one card each.
There are various ways to use it, but it can be used to store cards that you want to keep neatly stored in a designated place, such as credit cards and ID cards.
Cards with raised, three-dimensional numbers and letters, such as those found on credit cards, can come into contact with other cards when stored together, so the separate pockets are a big plus for those who are concerned about this.
There is one pocket on the left side that can hold about five items together.
It is convenient to be able to take out quickly. By storing frequently used point cards and other items at the front, you can operate smoothly at the checkout.
This is the thickness when cash and cards are stored.

(Bottom) Comparison with a regular size plastic card
□How to use
I actually tried storing some cash and cards in it.
7 cards, 5 bills (1 x 10,000 yen bill, 1 x 5,000 yen bill, 3 x 1,000 yen bill)
17 coins
There are fewer bills and more coins than in Cram.
The number of cards is the same.
Enfold Coin was created with the aim of being "more compact."
It is even smaller than the Cram L-shaped zipper wallet.
The space in the billfold has been designed to be spacious enough to hold 10,000 yen bills.
This mini wallet is designed for people who mainly use cashless payments, so the maximum bill capacity is a little low at around 10 bills.
The disadvantage of this wallet is that it is not very wide, making it difficult to take out and put in bills if there are too many of them.
The lid of the coin purse has a three-dimensional structure that can receive coins as shown in the picture. This makes it easy to check the coins and take them out one by one. Compared to Cram, this Enfold Coin has a larger coin storage capacity.
The card pocket can hold about 5 cards.
Once the leather becomes more flexible, it will be able to fit in a little more.
There is also space behind the card pockets, so you can put a few cards or folded receipts there. You can also store things in the space behind the coin purse, but if you put plastic cards in there, it will be a little difficult to get coins out, so we recommend storing thin items such as receipts here.
This is the thickness when cash and cards are stored.
We also have the Enfold Coin bi-fold mini wallet, which has the same capacity but no straps.

03. Bifold wallet “Feel Coin”
[Classic] Bi-fold wallet Feel Coin
¥39,050-(tax included)
≪Details≫
■Size: H115 × W96 × D20 (mm) *Approximate size
■ Capacity
Banknotes: 35 to 40 sheets

Coins: Approx. 25

Lining: Japanese pig leather
□Specifications
Coin purse x 1
7 card pockets: 4 card slots, 1 in each, 2 in each left and right pockets, 2 in the back coin pocket
1 bill compartment (with divider)
□ Size
The size when held in a man's hand.
Unlike the compact types we have introduced so far, this is a basic bi-fold wallet. It is a little larger, but it has more storage space and is easier to take things in and out.
Thickness when nothing is inserted (20mm).
(Left) Compared to iPhone 13 mini
(Bottom) Comparison with a regular size plastic card
□How to use
I actually tried storing some cash and cards in it.
10 cards
10 bills (2 x 10,000 yen bills, 7 x 5,000 yen bills, 1,000 yen bills)
15 coins
Many people feel that a basic wallet is the easiest to use. Especially for those who pay with cash a lot or have a lot of cards, a wallet with a large capacity like this is the easiest to use.
"Capacity unique to a standard bi-fold wallet"
"Easy to put in and take out due to the spacious design"
It offers a sense of security and appeal that is hard to find in a compact wallet.
In addition, this bi-fold wallet has a coin purse that opens upwards, allowing you to take out and put in bills, coins, and cards without having to turn the wallet over.
The billfold has a divider, so you can store bills and receipts separately.
The pocket behind the coin purse can be accessed from the top, making it convenient for storing frequently used cards.
There is also a card pocket here. To make it easier to understand, it is stored in a slightly visible manner, but when you actually put the cards in, they go all the way in so the edges of the cards are neatly hidden.
It is also recommended to store important cards such as your driver's license or insurance card that you don't want to be visible.
This is the thickness when cash and cards are stored. Because it has a large capacity, it tends to be thick.

3. Summary
How was it?
This time, we will introduce and compare three types of wallets that can store bills, coins, and cards all together.

Compact but great capacity and ease of use
A well-balanced mini wallet with a slim profile.
02. Bi-fold mini wallet (with strap) Enfold Coin
A more compact mini wallet.
Although it has a slightly smaller bill capacity than the L-shaped zipper wallet, this is recommended if you value compactness.
There are a wide variety of options available.

A classic bi-fold wallet.
If you mainly pay with cash and want a large capacity, this is the one for you. If you want something that you can use roughly, rather than being careful about taking things in and out, this is the one for you.
Each wallet has its own characteristics, so we hope this will help you compare the advantages and disadvantages with your lifestyle and choose a wallet that is comfortable to use.
