While exploring Daikanyama recently I found a Tsumori Chisato store. While the designer primarily focuses on women’s clothing, she does some men’s clothes and accessories. I just found out recently that a group of friends I have here went to the same fashion design school as this designer… apparently it’s the most famous in Japan. Kind of cool.
Anyways, here’s the wallet:
It has a sea life theme. As you can see, the buckle/button to open it is a star fish. I love the colors on this too. Some kind of sea-green with the shiny silver interior. Speaking of the interior…
Nice and shiny! The wallet is made of leather and has some interesting grains in the leather. It is not smooth.
Finally, my favorite part of the wallet is actually the interior lining. The tiny details that pepper the lining are really cool. It’s the kind of thing that you and other people don’t see often but when you do it really gives you a feeling of cohesiveness in the design of the item.
If you can’ see it, click to open the big version where you can see the small crab on the inside of the coin pouch. There are a number of sea animals in the lining of the cash bill area as well. Awesome!
