In line with the zodiac sign "Horse" for the year 2026, the material used is Polish raw leather. It is made from horse leather tanned with plant tannins using traditional methods from Tuscany, Italy. Horses are considered symbols of dynamism and forward movement, and they are also said to represent a good luck charm that supports a "year of leap."

As it is used, its expression changes, transforming into a unique sheen and texture. The scratches and wear typical of leather are left as "character," allowing one to enjoy the individuality that mass-produced items do not offer.

It has a size that can hold up to 2 banknotes, and you can tuck in a 500-yen coin as well. By intentionally limiting the capacity, it secures only "the minimum amount needed not to be in trouble," such as taxi fares in emergencies, onsen fees, or drink costs for the family.

Inside, it is equipped with a stopper to prevent banknotes from slipping out. When it is not holding any banknotes, it is very slim like a leather pocket and does not get in the way even if left attached as a keyring or bag charm.

Two types to choose from: keychain and carabiner, depending on your usage.

The installation method offers two types: the "keychain type" for those who want to keep it with their keys at all times, and the "carabiner type" for people who want to attach and detach it from bags or belt loops only during walks or travels.

When the hardware is removed, the main unit weighs only 6g, and even with the hardware, it's about 13g, making it lightweight. Additionally, the carabiner type also comes in a version that features a horse silhouette, symbolizing the Year of the Horse, hot-stamped onto it. It's not only a lucky item but also serves as a subtle accent.
