Original design, "Spinning Long Wallet" | Handmade at Handiworks in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture | Blog

This long wallet is made of soft leather and can be rolled up and closed with a string made of the same leather, so we call it the "Kurukuru Long Wallet."

We have been making pen cases for this "Kurukuru" series for a long time and they have been selling well, but one time a customer asked us, "Can I put bills in here too?" and we realized that there was also a demand for them to be used as wallets.

Since you'll be putting money in it, we designed it so that it closes with a zipper, and we also added a pocket for storing cards.

The idea came from the bags that craftsmen use to store their tools in. They are often made from canvas, and I thought it would be cool to roll them up and store your tools in them, so I decided to make a pen case out of them.

So, even if we say a long wallet, rather than the usual luxurious or gorgeous ones, something that has a simple, tool-like feel is likely to look stylish.
