This video explains the intuitive opening and closing mechanism of the Minim.

The Minim minimalist pouch uses the renowned Italian leather "Elbamatt." This article explains the unique and often surprising structure of this product—the "fold-in flap"—using a video (GIF).

■ The idea of folding the lid towards the "user side" While typical pouches have the lid covering the outside, Minim deliberately folds it towards the user's body (inward). The lid can be opened by simply pushing it down lightly, but it cannot be opened by someone else trying to lift the lid from the outside.

At first glance, it's impossible to tell where the opening is; only the user understands its structure. This mechanism provides a high level of security in urban environments.

■ Closing it is also incredibly easy. To close it, simply return the lid to its original position to a certain extent, and the magnetic button will automatically snap into place and close it. It won't open unless you slide it down (advantageous from a security standpoint), but it closes just by bringing it close (simplifies the closing process). This is only possible thanks to FIDLOCK's special magnetic button.

This design creates an extremely flat, seamless, and streamlined silhouette that highlights the rich texture of Elbamatt wood. The fact that the lid doesn't hang down on the outside is another appealing feature of the Minim, making the operation itself look sleek.

■ Precision and Reassurance as a Tool The initial surprise of "not knowing how to open it" quickly transforms into a sense of security, knowing only you can do it. A minimalist appearance stripped of unnecessary elements, combined with a unique security design that protects the user's safety. Experience the balance of these two aspects through this device.
