In recent years, prices for slim, compact wallets and mini wallets have generally ranged from 20,000 to 30,000 yen. When I look at products from other manufacturers in the industry, there are many excellent items—some with such high quality and unique concepts that I can’t help but think it’s inevitable that they command a higher price.Although the wallets themselves are small, as someone involved in this industry, I understand that the final retail price inevitably rises to a certain level due to various costs—including material costs, material processing fees, manufacturing costs, as well as auxiliary materials, sales, advertising, and labor expenses.
However, to be honest, SOLAHANPU isn’t particularly interested in pursuing a high-end market strategy. We always strive to offer our products at affordable, everyday prices so that as many people as possible can purchase them without straining their budgets. While costs have certainly risen since we switched from overseas production to manufacturing in Japan, our sincere desire is to avoid unnecessary price increases as much as possible.
If we were to sell through middlemen or authorized retailers, distribution margins would be added, causing prices to skyrocket. For this reason, we believe that, for now, delivering directly through our own online store is the best approach for both our customers and our company.Online, you can shop from anywhere in Japan or around the world, and we can deliver to almost any location. Furthermore, there are many benefits unique to direct sales, such as online-exclusive discounts and a points system that automatically awards points to registered accounts. In addition, we can provide quick and direct customer support via email and other channels—a benefit that should not be overlooked.
While we believe this sales method is the best option for now, we’re committed to actively improving it to make it even more user-friendly for our customers. We hope you’ll take advantage of this convenient service from anywhere in the country.
