Features of the L Zip Wallet

#1 Luxury in your pocket

Despite its compact size, measuring just 2cm thick, it is well thought out and designed to hold everything you need.

We have paid careful attention to every detail, using the ``skilled techniques'' of Handbag Suzuki, a company that has been producing for many famous brands in Japan for over 50 years.


Because wallets are something we use every day, we aim to create products that will lift your spirits just by carrying one, and make your days just a little richer.



#2 Full leather design combines luxury with ultimate simplicity

The lavish use of genuine leather on both the exterior and interior creates a sense of weight and luxury that you wouldn't expect from a small wallet.


While the exterior pursues ultimate simplicity with no unnecessary details, the interior is a masterpiece that has been carefully crafted down to the smallest detail, including each individual stitching.

#3 Luxurious use of Himeji leather, highly acclaimed around the world


We use luxurious cowhide produced by a tanner (Nakajima Leather Industry) in Himeji, a city famous for its leather.


Enjoy the strength, suppleness, and beautiful changes that occur over time in Himeji leather, which is made using traditional techniques cultivated over more than 65 years of history.



#4 11 special features of the L Zip Wallet


1. We have achieved ultimate simplicity by eliminating all unnecessary decoration. Because it is so simple, we cannot hide any distortion in the stitching or shape, so it requires extremely precise manufacturing techniques.



2. Himeji leather is used for the entire interior and exterior, creating a luxurious feel even in the details that cannot be seen from the outside.




3. The leather is chrome tanned, which makes it resistant to scratches, water stains, and color fading, and allows you to use it for a long time in a beautiful condition.



Below, we examine how resistant the Himeji leather used by HushTug is to scratches, water stains, and wrinkles.





4. By thinning the leather as much as possible, we were able to achieve a thickness of just 2cm. In addition, it is the same size as a regular coin purse, so it fits neatly in your pocket.




5. Equipped with a total of 7 pockets (1 coin purse, 4 card slots, 2 receipt slots). It is compact yet has everything you need, and is luxuriously designed to fit folded bills in half.




6. The metal fittings are made with the world-renowned Japanese YKK zipper (EVERBRIGHT Gold No. 3). In addition to the design that gives a strong impression, we have pursued smoothness that allows the bag to be closed smoothly even when it is full.




7. Flawless stitching and edge painting are achieved by the handiwork of Japanese craftsmen. Because of the simple design, there is no room for camouflage, so we pursue perfection in every detail.




8. The more you use Himeji leather, the more it will become familiar to your hand and develop into a unique, characterful piece.




9. The height of the coin purse has been adjusted in increments of a few millimeters, and is designed to fit just the right size so that 1 yen coins won't fall out. No need to worry about coins spilling out of your wallet.




10. The size has been adjusted in increments of a few millimeters to make it easier to insert and remove cards, and the interior is finished with satin material instead of leather, achieving both design and functionality.




11. By intentionally cutting the gusset of the coin purse into a diamond shape, we were able to increase the range of motion, allowing the wallet to be opened wider, and when closed all the cut edges are parallel, maintaining the beautiful design.

#5 How we came to sell collaborative products and what we want to achieve

This L Zip Wallet is a product that combines Suzuki Handbags , a company with over 50 years of history and world-class sewing techniques, with Himeji leather, which is highly regarded around the world.


Handbag Suzuki Co., Ltd. was facing the risk of going out of business due to the impact of COVID-19, which has seen its orders halved and a chronic lack of successors.


However, the company has a long production track record, including for high-end brands, and has excellent world-class skills that it has been honing for over 50 years.

Therefore, we decided to jointly develop a product that combines HushTug's simple design with Himeji leather, which is highly regarded around the world, and Japan's excellent sewing techniques.


This project was launched to pass on the world's finest Himeji leather and sewing techniques to future generations.


The product that carries that hope is a product that HushTug is proud of.


Please look forward to it.
