However, even though minimalist, compact wallets are currently gaining attention, we had never made a mini wallet. When we considered that many users may also want smallness along with thinness, we decided to develop a wallet that pursued small size while maintaining the thinness of the original Tenuis as much as possible. Although its storage area is smaller and it is slightly less thin than the regular Tenuis, we have still made it as thin as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eScaling down the construction itself was not difficult. First, we set the minimum width required to fit bills, but the card holder gave us pause. Simply reducing the area of the Tenuis twin card slot by one card’s worth would leave unnecessary empty space. We spent a long time trying to find an answer through paper models and prototypes, wondering whether to make this empty space a flip-style hidden pocket or a locking mechanism for closing the wallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe finally arrived at this two-layered card slot construction. However, finishing the two-layered card holder without waste, with different insertion directions that do not interfere with each other, required considerable ingenuity, and after much thought, we finally arrived at this design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e※The detailed design and construction may change without notice.\u003cbr\u003e※The colors and patterns in the photos may look different from the actual product, so please use them as a color reference only.\u003cbr\u003e※The delivery period after the campaign ends is only an estimate, and delivery may occur earlier or later depending on circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eColor Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eJet Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIndigo Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDark Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJet Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1463\/0684\/files\/IMG_8336.jpg?v=1793611814\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndigo Blue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1463\/0684\/files\/IMG_8354_20e1e02a-14c9-4b44-92ec-3911a67580ce.jpg?v=1793611836\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark Green\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1463\/0684\/files\/IMG_8352.jpg?v=1793611814\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eItalian vegetable-tanned cowhide leather, goatskin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e88 mm (H) × 82 mm (W) × 8 mm (thickness when empty and folded)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e10 bills, 6 cards, 10 coins, 4 keys\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e※It is possible to store more than the recommended amount, but the shape may be distorted or items may not fit well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eExample of storage and thickness: 10 bills, 10 coins, and 6 cards will result in a thickness of approximately 16 mm to 18 mm at its thinnest and thickest points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1463\/0684\/files\/IMG_8514.jpg?v=1794189820\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/1463\/0684\/files\/IMG_8511.jpg?v=1794189820\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eReward Types\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSuper Early Bird 10% OFF: 13,320 yen, limited to the first 30 people\u003cbr\u003e(Tax and shipping included within Japan;
