The “Black” versions of the popular Tenuis zipper-style wallets—Elba Matte and Toscano, which have been well-received as slim and compact wallets—are currently out of stock. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to customers considering a purchase.
We are currently working with our artisans to restock these items and expect to be able to replenish inventory in small batches starting around the time Golden Week ends. The number of artisans capable of crafting Tenuis wallets is limited, and the process involves many detailed tasks—such as precise positioning and stitching—making it difficult to produce these items at the same speed as mass-produced goods. We appreciate your understanding.
If you are interested in the black version, please register your email address using the “Notify Me When Back in Stock” button on the product page. We will notify you when it becomes available, so please feel free to use this feature.
The Tenuis Zipper Type and Flap Type are not simply “old” and “new” models
We sometimes hear people ask, “If the flap type is newer, does that make it a higher-end model than the zipper type?” but in reality, it’s a bit different.
The Tenuis Zipper Type and Tenuis Flap Type are not simply “old” versus “new” or “low-functionality” versus “high-functionality”; they are distinct types of slim wallets, each offering a different user experience.
Even now that the flap type has been introduced, many people still prefer the zippered coin pocket of the zipper type. On the other hand, some customers appreciate the ease of use offered by the flap type’s zipper-free design and separate pockets.
Rather than being a matter of which is better, these are models you should choose based on your usage habits and personal preferences.
Guidelines for Choosing Between the Two
Who Should Choose the Zipper Type
- You prefer the peace of mind that a zippered coin pocket provides
- You tend to carry a relatively large amount of loose change
- Prefer a design with a central divider that prevents coins from shifting to one side
-

Who Should Choose the Flap Style
- Want to quickly access your coins without a zipper
- Prioritize the ease of organization provided by completely separate upper and lower pockets
- Those who prioritize the number of cards slightly more than coins
-
Those seeking a more minimalist user experience
Find the model that suits your lifestyle
Even when it comes to slim wallets, everyone has their own criteria for ease of use. The best model for you depends on how much change you carry, how many cards you use, your preference for opening and closing the wallet, and your daily payment habits.
We encourage you to choose from the Tenuis zipper and flap models based on their respective features to find the one that best fits your lifestyle.
