So, what kind of wallet is the "Nouvelle" that's making its debut?
Let's take a closer look at its features and unique qualities.
I like long wallets, but I want something a little smaller.
"I like long wallets, but I want something a little smaller."
"I'm interested in a compact wallet, but I don't want to fold my bills."
"If it's smaller, it seems like it would be difficult to take out coins and cards..."
Have you ever felt that way?
Philosophii's goal wasn't just to make a small wallet.
It was to make it as compact as possible while retaining the ease of use of a familiar long wallet.
In fact, Philosophia has been selling compact long wallets for about 10 years.
Based on that long experience, we have further evolved the "Nouvelle" to suit modern lifestyles.
Almost smartphone-sized! The smallest long ![]()
wallet
The Nouvelle's size is:
Approximately 16.5cm x 8.5cm x 2cm
Weight: approximately 90g.
A 10,000 yen bill is approximately 16cm x 7.6cm.
In other words, the Nouvelle is a long wallet made as small as possible while still allowing 10,000 yen bills to be inserted without folding.
Of course, we didn't just make it barely fit.
We arrived at this size after carefully considering the thickness of the leather itself and the necessary allowance for smoothly inserting and removing bills.
It's almost the same size when placed next to a smartphone.
For those who have given up on long wallets because "they take up too much space in my bag," we hope you'll give this size a try.
① A large coin purse that opens wide
In the center is a large coin purse with gussets on both sides.
It opens wide for easy viewing, and your fingers fit well inside, so you can smoothly take out coins.
Even though it's compact, we haven't compromised on the ease of use of the coin purse.
② Bills go into two compartments without folding
Despite its compact size, it features two bill pockets that can accommodate 10,000 yen bills.
You can organize your bills by denomination or separate them from receipts, depending on your needs.
③ A "special seat" for frequently used cards
Right after opening the flap, there's a VIP card pocket.
If you put your frequently used cards here, you can quickly take them out.
Another key point is that it can store 2-3 cards together.
④ Ample card storage
There are also two card pockets inside.
Despite its compact size, it can store approximately 8 cards.
This is also recommended for those who want a smaller wallet but still need to carry cards.
⑤ Convenient back pocket
There's also a pocket on the back for quick access.
It's convenient for temporarily storing receipts and other items.
Even though it's small, it still retains useful features.
Choose from 5 colors
Black
Chocolate
Turquoise
Cobalt
Natural
This is how much it holds!
Despite its compact size, it securely stores everything you need for daily use.
The fact that "small" doesn't mean "can't hold much" is another charm of the Nouvelle.
This time, we chose "Maya Shoulder," an authentic Italian leather.
The "Nouvelle Maya Italy ver." uses "Maya Shoulder," a leather crafted by the Italian tannery IL PONTE.
It's made from high-quality French raw hides, tanned with 100% vegetable tannins, and features a scratched finish on the double shoulder leather.
It features a unique uneven texture and deep, rich colors.
It also has the firm texture and durability characteristic of shoulder leather, making it resistant to losing its shape even after long-term use.
Furthermore, by thinly processing and laminating two layers of durable leather, we've achieved both a luxurious appearance and durability.
Maya shoulder is also a leather that undergoes significant aging.
Initially, it has a matte and slightly uneven appearance.
As you use it, the color gradually deepens and the luster increases.
The more you use it, the more it develops its own unique character.
Please enjoy the changes that only genuine leather can offer.
To ensure long-lasting enjoyment
Leather products may experience issues with hardware or stitching over time.
At Philosophii, our in-house leather craftsmen also handle after-sales care, including repairs and maintenance of products.
Repairs are possible regardless of the years of use.
Since you've chosen our leather product, we hope you'll enjoy its aging process and use it for a long time.
Both "small" and "easy to use."
I like the convenience of a long wallet.
But I want to carry something a little more compact.
The "Nouvelle" is perfect for those who feel this way.
It can store bills without folding them, and holds plenty of coins and cards.
And it's almost the size of a smartphone.
Plus, you can enjoy the aging of the Maya shoulder leather, which changes its appearance with use.
