NAGOYA TAKUMIYAGE

“I’d like to go to the bar two stations away in sweatpants.”, onecustomer said. It triggered us to start developing this wallet. We devised so that it is easy to fit in a user’s hand regardless of men and women and to get coins and cards in and out with only one snap fastener.　Also, you can put bills in it. This wallet is very convenient for you to go for a ride without baggage, attend a music festival, and so on.

One of the selling points of this wallet is a wide range of color variations. As a special version for “Nagoyatakumiyage” brand, the memories with my grandmother at Nagoya took shape.I used to go to Atsuta Shrine and eat “Kiyome Mochi” with my grandmother on the way home every year. Kiyome Mochi, a soft rice cake with sweet bean paste is a speciality of Atsuta. I remember the dignified atmosphere, the red carpet, and the white Kiyome Mochi.

Also, she used to make steamed sweet potato cakes “Oni Manju.” The homely taste of it takes me back.

Nagoya is the special place that warms my heart with her gentle smile.

This wallet uses different kinds of leather between for the inside and the outside. The outside is made of leather durable and resistant to scratches such as one available for sofas, while the inside is made of soft and thin leather which decrease the thickness of the entire wallet. We selected materials very carefully with leather　wholesalers in Nagoya. The leather wallet consists of a lot of small parts. After designing, we make patterns for each part, cut it to match the patterns, and then, sew them. All the products are made by hand one at a time.

We create and sell our own leather products such as accessories, goods, and bags, based in Nagoya city. We handle everything from design to production. We are working on remaking leather products. In “Pimu Factory Leather Craft School” by the owner, who is a leather craftsman, as the instructor, remaking class for school bags is held with children.
