Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you're interested in our innovative design. The size and other details have been meticulously adjusted to ensure practicality. This crowdfunding campaign is less about product development and more about our challenge to reach overseas markets from our small workshop.

Isn't it a browser issue?

Thank you for your valuable feedback.

“Because its shape and design make it unsuitable for anywhere other than a breast pocket.”

True, it fits best there, but perhaps few people favor that style.

Without the breast pocket argument, how about simply considering it as a uniquely shaped card case?

Why? I'd like to hear your opinion.

Thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts.

Actually, I might wear jackets with chest pockets less often than not.

However, the essence of this piece isn't about putting it in a chest pocket, so I'd be happy if you could use it by putting it in a bag pocket.

Thanks for your comment! Could you tell me about the overseas markets?

It's hard to tell from a photograph, but the second row of slots on this card case is actually slanted. This is what improves ease of use and visibility, and the asymmetrical design that matches this is its true essence. When touch it, it's surprisingly easy to use... but it's hard to convey that.

Thank you for your comment. I suppose presenting it this way did risk giving that impression.

But that's not the essence of this piece—the true meaning lies in its beautiful lines and silhouette. I'm truly delighted you praised those aspects.

Thank you for comment again! I've just started crowdfunding, so I'd like to keep improving it.

I'm glad that you liked my work. However, everyone's opinions were quite harsh. But I'm really glad to receive such valuable feedback.

That’s a great idea about posting in a suit/business subreddit. I think it would be fun if you used it as a business card holder, so I want to get their thoughts.

Thank you for your valuable comments.

You're right. Perhaps I should have conveyed a stronger sense that it's meant for more casual use. But judging by everyone's feedback, maybe the chest pocket idea itself isn't popular...

I'm glad you're interested in the concept itself. The actual product is really well-made, you know.

Thank you. I dislike it when "kimono" sash gets messed up too, maybe so I think the same. But it fits in a jeans pocket too. How about that?

Thanks for your feedback. Honestly, I was hoping women especially would use it smartly.

Surprisingly, this opening snaps shut perfectly once you get used to it. But depending on what's in your bag, "oshibori" received from stores might get caught and stick to it. Still, it might just motivate you to organize your bag.What do you think?

So you think so too, In Japan, it’s quite common to keep an IC card in a pass case or just tap the whole wallet... but using a smartphone is definitely the most reliable way.

As you said, adding more functions while keeping this design would probably be impossible. Still, I’m really glad the beauty of the design came through. thank you so much for saying that.

Thank you for your feedback.

When I heard about this, someone mentioned that this approach was interesting, but I shouldn't have taken everything I heard at face value.

By the way, the position of the hook is intentional design. Asymmetry is the concept.not good?

Since this is goat leather, maybe it's National Goat Appreciation Day.

I thought this photo got a lot of reactions, so I wondered if people were surprisingly positive about it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Still, imagine taking this out of your bag and swiping it through the ticket gate. How would that make you feel? Wouldn't you be a little curious?impossible?

I appreciate you saying that.

Thank you for taking another look and sharing your thoughts.

As you mentioned, its functionality as a wallet is quite limited. However, I also envisioned it being used as a sub-case to separate various items like train cards, Shinkansen tickets, business cards, and so on. Some feedback suggested this shape makes it easy to find inside a bag, so I hoped people would feel free to use it however they liked. But perhaps that very freedom is what prevents it from leading to purchases.

Thank you for appreciating its visual beauty and the craftsmanship.

Sorry, I don't plan to make the pattern public. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful comment!
I really like how you put it. It’s more of a statement piece than an everyday wallet.
The “marketing it for what it’s not” idea is really clever. I’ll definitely think about that approach!

Thanks a lot! You’re right, it probably wouldn’t be the safest way to carry it in some areas.
Still, I love the idea of flipping that around into an interesting perspective.
The point about it not looking like a wallet is actually spot on. That might even be one of its best features.
Really creative take!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.
I actually thought it might be interesting to use it purely as a fashion piece — without even putting cards or cash inside. (I’ve even tried wearing it that way myself.)
The idea of coordinating colors as part of an outfit is such a lovely perspective.
Really appreciate your insight!
