Tsutsumu® Name Card Case - Liscio
Omotenashi: Wrapping an important business card in a single piece of leather
In Japan, there is a culture of carefully wrapping important things, such as furoshiki used for gifts, fukusa, and noshibukuro.
We designed this business card case based on this traditional Japanese aesthetic of wrapping.
No strings, metal fittings, belts, or other clasps are used. Just a sheet of high quality leather folded over beautifully like origami to wrap an important business card.
In Japan, business cards are treated with the utmost respect as the recipient's share of the business card.
Tsutsumu®, which carefully wraps important business cards, is a business item that conveys your own dignity and sensitivity as well as the culture of Japanese hospitality to others.
Unwrapping and solving manners to take care of others
Careful wrapping shows care and consideration for the recipient, as does the act of unwrapping. In business situations, the priority is to keep the recipient waiting and to allow smooth access to business cards with a minimum of movement.
Tsutsumu®" has no clasp, so it can be opened quickly and business cards can be taken out smoothly.
Once you get used to the leather, you can feel the cutout for taking out business cards from the top of the lid, so you can take them out smartly without looking down and looking at the person you are dealing with.
Attractive leather and neat design
Wrap your business card in the best material because it's important."
The leather used for Tsutsumu® is so soft and absorbent to the touch that you will want to keep touching it. The original thickness of about 2mm is used, and the more it is used, the more beautifully and tastefully it changes.
It is also perfectly symmetrical and neatly designed, giving it a formal look.
Small business card case
With no stitching, the size is completely lean, just the thickness of the leather added to the business card.
About the leather used
About the leather usedOrigins
Liscio is an Italian word meaning "smooth. The surface is smooth and fine, with natural unevenness in color, giving the leather an elegant and tasteful look.
Tanning and Manufacturing
Vacchetta leather has been used in the Tuscany region of Italy since the early 9th century. The cowhide is tanned with vegetable tannin extracted from chesnut and mimosa, and then soaked in oil slowly and finished with dyes. The more the leather is used, the more the oil soaks into the leather, deepening its color and luster.
Maintenance
Since it contains sufficient oil inside, oil care is not necessary unless you are concerned about scratches or dryness. We recommend dry brushing with a soft cloth on a daily basis.
