This special edition leather wallet has been crafted to commemorate Studio D'artisan's 45th Anniversary. Made from 1.5 thick leather sourced from Himeji, Japan, it exudes quality and durability. The leather is dyed with the natural plant-based dye "Akane," imbuing it with a luxurious and distinctively rich hue. Delve into the rich history of madder red dyeing in Japan, tracing back centuries, with historical accounts hinting at its presentation as a gift by Queen Himiko and its adoption as the iconic red hue of the national flag, famously referred to as the "Hinomaru," during the Meiji era. Himeji is well known in Japan because of its leather. The origins go back some 2,000 years when immigrants from the Korean Peninsula brought into Harima (the present Hyogo Prefecture) their tanning skills. The production of leather and leather crafts enjoyed remarkable prosperity in the Edo era.
All zipper hardware is crafted from premium brass by the renowned brand Universal, ensuring longevity and style. This wallet boasts multiple compartments for cards, bills, and coins, providing ample space for all your daily essentials.. The leather comes from Himeji, one of the world's few regions that continue to use only natural vegetable tanning.
