** / Height 9.5, Width 19.5, Depth 2 cm; 12 card slots Outer: Cowhide (combination tanning) Lining: Nylon satin (backing: acrylic coating) Trimmings: Steerhide (combination tanning) Country of origin: Made in Japan [Model No.: 17903867] ‘PORTER PLUME’ is a high-class leather goods series that utilises European cowhide kip as its main material. Whilst featuring a basic design, it employs advanced sewing techniques. To achieve a sharp and clean finish, the corners are squared off and the interior is finished with a folded edge. The distinctive edge detailing involves wrapping the outer leather edge three times with leather, which is then secured with stitching along the folds of this wrapped leather. This requires advanced technical skill to ensure straight, distortion-free stitching. Furthermore, by varying the colour tone and material of the leather used for the triple wrapping from that of the main body, the edge detailing is accentuated whilst also enhancing the durability of the corners against wear and tear. The cowhide used in this series undergoes a traditional ‘shihou-momi’* kneading process to impart character to the leather. Finished with a plump, natural grain that differs from embossed leather, it boasts a supple and elegant texture. Furthermore, the interior utilises two different types of leather depending on the area, resulting in a more luxurious construction that enhances the sense of quality. The zips are Exela zips, which offer a luxurious feel and a smooth operation. On the surface, an original metal plate bearing the PORTER name, colour-matched to the edge leather, is embedded into the outer leather to create a clean, uncluttered appearance. The wallet features gussets in the note compartment, allowing for smooth organisation and retrieval of banknotes. *‘Shihou-momi’ is a processing technique in which tanned leather is folded and kneaded from all four directions—top, bottom, left and right—one sheet at a time to accentuate the grain.
