The embossed texture gives the bag a luxurious feel and a crisp texture. The exquisite design allows keys to be placed inside to create a well-defined shape. The most important feature is that the contents can be easily seen and retrieved at a glance. The Smart Key Wallet, which boasts of its outstanding practicality, was conceived by Mr. Ramisaka, the developer, based on his own experience, as a way to organize the keys and driver's license needed when going out by car. After several dozen prototypes, an X-shaped structure was developed that eliminates waste in the gusset. Perhaps because there was nothing else like it, obtaining a patent was a smooth process. This is a product that truly embodies the "aesthetics of subtraction.
Mr. Osaka says that the idea of making the product beautiful without losing its shape has been devised since the prototype stage, but it took a lot of skill to make it a reality. We worked together with a couple of craftsmen who run a leather goods workshop in Rakuhoku, Kyoto, to make repeated adjustments. The meticulous and reliable assembly and the beauty of the stitching also reflect the careful work of the craftsmen.
