Handy size (compared with iphone 12 Pro Max)

Roomy Design: 6 card slots that and a free pocket!

Also friendly for left-handed users

The one on the left side of the image is right-handed, and the one on the right side is left-handed.

When designing the right-handed model, we envisioned that customers would hold the wallet in their left hand and take bills by their right hand, so the bill compartment is placed on the right side.
The slanted opening of the upper card slot is also positioned on the right, making it easier to pull cards out with the right hand.

The left-handed model is the opposite: customers hold the wallet in their right hand and take bills by their left hand, so the bill compartment is on the left.
The slanted opening of the upper card slot is placed on the left side for easy access with the left hand.

Although the products are named “left-handed” and “right-handed” versions, some right-handed customers have commented that they actually find the left-handed version more convenient.
We recommend customers choose the version that best suits their own usage habits.

Simple, yet distinctive

Crafted with oil-shrink leather from Himeji.

Soft to the touch yet firm and resilient, this leather features vibrant colors and an elegant, luxurious grain texture.

The Nishiharima region of Hyogo Prefecture, one of Japan’s three major leather-producing areas, boasts the highest production volume and accounts for approximately 70% of the nation’s cowhide leather.

The leather used in this product undergoes more than 20 processing steps to transform raw hides into premium leather. Not only does it feature vibrant color and a luxurious surface texture, but it also has a rich, natural aroma that sets it apart. Experience the authentic scent of genuine leather — something synthetic leather simply cannot replicate.

The leather we use does not come from animals killed for their hides. Instead, it is a byproduct of the meat industry—material that would otherwise be discarded—carefully repurposed into high-quality leather.

At STATUSY, we don’t choose leather based solely on appearance or texture. We prioritize working with trusted domestic tanners and wholesalers who share our values, ensuring we can continue to use high-quality materials for years to come.

Our mission is to create a sustainable system where both makers and users of traditional leather can be genuinely happy.

Handmade in Japan with Precision and Passion

Every step of the production of "il modo ZIP" — from concept and design to leather cutting, sewing, and final inspection — is carefully carried out in domestic workshops under our full supervision.

Crafted by Skilled Artisans, One by One

Unconventional ideas and innovative forms are brought to life by the hands of experienced craftsmen with outstanding technical skills.
Each wallet is meticulously handmade, reflecting our commitment to quality over quantity.

As a result, STATUSY products cannot be mass-produced in factories. Instead, we deliver authentic Japanese craftsmanship directly to our supporters.

Attention to Detail: Edge Polishing & Decorative Creasing

Processes such as edge polishing — smoothing and refining the cut surfaces of leather — and crease marking — imprinting lines near the edges using specialized tools — not only enhance durability but also create a refined appearance.
Though these steps take time and increase costs, we never compromise on the finer details of craftsmanship.

Premium Zipper: EXCELLA® by YKK

Unlike standard metal zippers, EXCELLA® features individually polished elements, ensuring exceptionally smooth sliding action.
To complement the elegant design, we use matte black metal components, offering a subdued yet refined look.

It took a long time to create the ideal version of il modo ZIP, but seeing the support from so many customers makes everything worthwhile. We sincerely hope that Statusy’s products can continue to be a part of your everyday life.

Read before you purchase

※The leather may feel stiff at first and slightly difficult to use, but it will gradually soften and conform to your usage over time.

※The zipper may also feel tight when new, but it will become smoother with repeated use.

※When storing bills or receipts, please ensure they are placed deep inside the compartment. If they overlap the zipper line, they may get caught when closing.

※As this product uses natural leather, you may notice natural marks such as scars, wrinkles, or veins. These are inherent characteristics of genuine leather, which will develop a unique patina over time.

※Due to the nature of natural leather, each piece may have slight variations in texture and appearance. We hope you enjoy these unique differences as the charm of a one-of-a-kind item.

※The material used is domestically produced cowhide leather. The zipper is the EXCELLA® double-element type from YKK.

※Please note that slight variations may occur in the listed size, capacity, and weight due to the handmade nature of the product. Also, colors may appear slightly different from the photos due to lighting, cutting position, or production lot differences.
