"My wallet is getting harder to close because I have so many cards."

"I'm concerned about how bulky my wallet gets with coins."

"On my days off, I'd like to go out unencumbered with a smaller wallet."

Do you ever experience these kinds of "minor inconveniences" because you have too many coins and cards in your wallet?

That said, it feels like a waste to replace it, and if it's your favorite wallet, it's even harder to let go.

In such cases, we recommend the idea of "adding" a card case or coin case to your current wallet.

Simply by separating your cards and coins, which tend to multiply, your wallet will be neatly organized and become easier to use.

This time, we would like to introduce 5 Munekawa card cases and coin cases that are easy to add to your current wallet.

Whether for yourself or if you are looking for a small gift, please take a look.

Change how you carry things without replacing your wallet

The reason your wallet is difficult to use is often due to the "amount of contents" rather than the wallet itself.

Before you know it, coins, receipts, and point cards tend to multiply and take up space in your wallet.

If you put too much in, your entire wallet becomes thick, and it can also cause your pockets to stretch or the zippers and snap buttons to break.

By adding one card case or coin case, it becomes easier to carry your contents separately by their function.

Keep your frequently used IC cards in the card case and your coins in the coin case. By returning the contents of your wallet to a manageable amount, opening and closing it and taking things out every day will become much smoother.

Not overstuffing your wallet also helps prevent the leather from being forced to stretch, allowing you to continue using your favorite wallet beautifully for a long time. It is one way to continue using your current wallet carefully.

5 items that are easy to add to your current wallet

Munekawa specializes in "functional and minimalist leather goods" and produces many leather accessories that are easy to add to your current wallet.

From among them, we would like to introduce 5 recommended card cases and coin cases.

1. If you want to separate frequently used cards, the "IC Card Case 'Tuck'"

For those who want to "carry only the cards you use every day separately from your wallet," such as commuter passes and main credit cards, we recommend the IC Card Case "Tuck".

Tuck is compact enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but it has 3 independent pockets.

The front pocket, where cards are completely hidden, allows you to tap your IC card at the ticket gate without removing it. The back pocket, where the top of the card peeks out by about 1.5 cm, allows you to take it out in one action by hooking your finger. And the main pocket with a snap button can store cards and business cards together.

The overall capacity is approximately 5–7 cards or about 10 business cards. You can also put coins in the main pocket, so for going somewhere nearby, you can leave your wallet behind and go out unencumbered with just Tuck.

2. If you want to separate just a few cards, the "Leather Card Case"

"I want to carry just a few cards separately that don't fit in my wallet." For those, we recommend the leather card case.

This card case was originally produced as an accessory for long wallets, but we received many requests saying, "I want to use this alone," so we started selling it as a single item.

It is a compact size that does not bulk up your bag even when put in with your wallet, or your clothing pocket. If you have a large long wallet, you can also keep it inside your wallet.

Because it has a simple shape, you can use it as a pass case by putting a transportation IC card in it, or as a spare business card holder, depending on the person.

The price is also affordable, so it is also recommended as an item to accompany a main gift.

3. If you want to separate only coins, the "Extra-Small Coin Case 'Palm'"

Many people probably think, "The main reason my wallet gets bulky is coins." If you want to neatly separate and carry only coins, the extra-small coin case "Palm" is perfect.

Although it is a small size that fits in the palm of your hand, it holds about 10–15 coins.

The lid is shaped like a pocket, and when tilted, the coins gather on the lid side, allowing you to see inside like a tray. It is difficult to spill even when tilted, and it solves the problem of "it's hard to see inside" that is common with small coin cases, so it is designed to make it easy to find coins even at the register.

It can be combined with billfold-type wallets or card cases, of course, and is also recommended for those who think, "The coin compartment of my current wallet is getting cramped."

4. If you want to gather both coins and small items, the "Coin Case 'Grip'"

For those who often carry a lot of coins or want to gather small items together, the coin case "Grip" will be useful.

It features a rounded shape reminiscent of a rugby ball and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. When the zipper is opened, the opening naturally spreads out to the side, allowing you to check the inside at a glance. Because it has a three-dimensional shape, it has more capacity than it looks, holding about 50–55 coins. It can also be used as a multi-case to store medicine, earphones, accessories, etc.

This "Grip" was limited-edition produced using Minerva Box made by Italy's Badalassicallo. It is made of soft leather with plenty of oil, and as you use it more, it will adapt to your hand, and you can enjoy aging (change over time) where the luster and depth of color increase.

The colors are black and brown. Because it is a limited edition, it is available only while supplies last, so if you are interested, please hurry!

5. For days when you leave your wallet behind, the "L-shaped Zipper Fragment Case 'Trimmed'"

Finally, we would like to introduce the new product that will go on sale from 9:00 PM on Saturday, October 31, the L-shaped Zipper Fragment Case "Trimmed".

A fragment case is a small leather accessory with a coin compartment and card pockets. Although Trimmed is almost the same size as a smartphone, it can hold about 5–8 cards, 10–15 coins, and about 3 folded bills in this one item.

While keeping your everyday wallet as it is, you can use Trimmed alone on days when you want to go out unencumbered, for shopping nearby, or while traveling. It is an item that is easy to use separately with your current wallet depending on the scene.

For more details, it is also introduced on the feature page, so please check it out.

Make your current wallet even easier to use

When you feel a small inconvenience with your wallet in your daily life, your current wallet will become much easier to use just by separating your cards and coins a little.

Please find a combination that is comfortable for you according to the amount of your current belongings and your lifestyle.

If you want to check the actual size and the feel of the leather, you can see the actual product at the Munekawa Directly Operated Store in Okukumaichi, Osaka. If you can bring your wallet you use, we can also consult about combinations.
