I was initially very impressed with this wallet. It felt thick, high quality, and well-made, and I was happy to pay more for something I expected to last for years.
Unfortunately, after a little over a year of daily use, it hasn’t held up as well as I expected. The exterior scratches easily and hasn’t developed an even patina. More disappointing is the lighter tan interior, which scratches very easily and has started to lose some of its coating and finish.
For the first few months, I thought this was a fantastic wallet. But for the price, I expected it to age much better.
If you carry your wallet in a bag or purse, it may hold up well. But if you plan to keep it in your pocket every day, expect noticeable wear over time.
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for sharing your honest experience. We are genuinely sorry that your Cordovan Card Case has shown more wear than anticipated over the past year.
Our Aniline-Dyed Japanese Cordovan is celebrated for its natural texture and depth of color. However, because it features no synthetic topcoat, it is highly sensitive to the continuous friction and subtle moisture of being carried in a pocket. While this pure finish allows for an elegant shine over time, pocket carry unfortunately accelerates surface wear and creates the uneven finish you noticed.
We completely understand your disappointment given the investment. Regular conditioning with a premium leather cream can help blend these marks and gently restore its natural beauty. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, as it helps us better guide future customers.
Warm regards,
Maki, Tsuchiya Kaban Global Team
This is an exceptional card case. Everything fits effortlessly and it stays at size it came in. I keep several cards and there's room for more?

自分へのご褒美として購入しました。
購入時にわかっていたことですが、収納枚数が少ないことが改善してほしいところです。
実物を見てみるとグリーンは光のあたり加減でいろいろな表情を見せてくれて、とても美しいです。
無難にブラックと思っていましたが、このグリーンを選んで良かったです。
子供が土屋ランドセルでお世話になり、とても気に入っているので、こちらの名刺入れは自分用に購入しました。コードパンは丈夫で永く使えるので、経年変化も楽しめそうです。名刺を渡すのが楽しみになりました。
以前購入した茶色の名刺入れが気に入って再購入しました。フリースペースがないものが好みでしたがこれは使ってみて判断したいと思います。
