Inden - Inden-ya Clasp Purse Long Wallet, RED x WHITE, Mukyo Pattern

This leather product features JAM's iconic original pattern, created using traditional techniques, based on a wallet from Inden-ya, the headquarter of the traditional leather craft "Inden."

The pattern motif is "ANECHOIC (Anechoic Chamber)," which incorporates the sound-absorbing frame of the "Anechoic" interior wall of JAM's first store, which stimulates the ears rather than the eyes.

This unisex colorway features a pattern printed in white lacquer on red-dyed deerskin.

It features a zippered coin case in the center and pockets on both sides.

The billfold and card case on each side allow for separate use, boasting outstanding storage capacity.

The large, round clasp and the sparkling metal fittings on the top and sides create an elegant look, while the slim design makes it easy to hold.

The side ring is customized with JAM's original ball chain.

The harmony between the strong, soft, and lightweight deerskin and the lacquer, which becomes brighter with age, develops a unique texture that becomes more comfortable in your hand with use.

- 12 card slots, 1 coin purse, 6 pockets

"Inden" is a leather craft that has been passed down in Koshu (Yamanashi) for over 400 years, and "Inden-ya" is a long-established "Inden" store founded in 1582.

During the Edo period, our ancestor, Yuichi Uehara, invented a unique technique for applying lacquer patterns to deerskin. This is said to be the beginning of Koshu Inden.

In 1987, Koshu Inden was designated a Traditional Craft by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. The traditional Inden technique, a practical beauty that adds color to everyday life, continues to perpetuate the culture of rare leather crafts.

Characteristics of Inden
〇 Lacquer may lose its luster if exposed to sunlight (UV rays) for extended periods.
〇 Lacquer may crack during the processing process. It may also chip or peel. The same applies if it is bent or scratched.
〇 Deer leather may have scratches caused by horns rubbing against it, but these are valued as evidence of its natural origin.
Deer leather may be damaged if the surface is exposed or rubbed during use.
〇 Because the skin properties of each piece of deer leather are different, there may be slight variations in the color tone of the dip-dyed piece. There may also be uneven coloring in some areas. Deer leather may discolor or fade due to sunlight, lighting, or aging.

Cautions and Requests
〇 Since the product is completely dried in a shaded room, there is little risk of lacquer irritation. However, in rare cases, irritation may occur depending on your constitution. If this occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
〇 In order to preserve the natural characteristics of deerskin, no special color-fast treatments have been applied. Therefore, sweat, water, friction, etc. may cause the texture to change, and the leather dye may transfer to clothing.

Care Instructions
〇 If the product gets wet, do not rub it. Instead, gently pat it with a dry cloth to remove moisture and dry it in the shade. Do not use gasoline, cleaners, or wax to remove dirt or polish.
