Starting with the November 2026 sales, the interior color has changed from yellow to Bleu Dragée.

The "Nouvelle" series, meaning "new" in French.

This long wallet was designed from scratch to create a new standard for Philosophy's long wallets.

It is a compact wallet that fits into small bags and accommodates the growing trend toward cashless payments.

The small zippered long wallet, "Nouvelle ZIP," is one of the smallest and thinnest zippered long wallets available.

Astonishingly small and thin

While "Nouvelle ZIP" is one of the smallest zippered wallets, it is also thinner than the small leather flap long wallet "Nouvelle" (approximately 20 mm thick), with a thickness of 13 mm and an exceptionally compact design.

Once you use it, you will never want to go back to a large, heavy long wallet. This mini long wallet will change your lifestyle.

Compared to a 10,000-yen bill (160 mm wide x 76 mm high), it is almost the same size (165 mm wide x 83 mm high) and is one of the smallest zippered long wallets.

Minimalist and luxurious

Small wallets can often look cheap. If you focus too much on making them small and lightweight, you may end up with a wallet that looks cheap because it uses thin leather or omits a lining to cut costs.

"Nouvelle ZIP" is crafted with a luxurious finish using high-quality Japanese leather and Philosophy's long-established manufacturing techniques for custom leather goods.

It uses soft, supple shrink leather as the main material, which molds to your hand, while being reinforced with appropriate stiffeners to maintain its shape over long-term use. The interior is made with firm, embossed leather.

Despite its small size, this wallet allows you to feel the premium texture and excellent craftsmanship of genuine leather.

Convenient back pocket

The exterior back features a large pocket.

The pocket is 150 mm wide, making it very convenient for temporarily storing receipts and tickets.

Because the back pocket is seamlessly integrated with the wallet itself, it is low-profile and creates a sleek appearance.

Two bill compartments

Through years of accepting numerous wallet orders, we have created a unique design that combines the common request to "separate bills into two places" with the goal of making wallets smaller.

With bill compartments at the front and back of the coin purse, you can flexibly separate bills or keep bills and receipts apart.

The seamless gusset is a design that carries on the style of Philosophy's long-selling "Fleur" wallet.

The seamless gusset allows bills to fit securely all the way to the back, enabling a smaller wallet design.

The divider between bills and coins is not fixed and can move freely, so bills will fit securely all the way to the back even as the number of bills increases.

The secret behind a zipper that won't bite bills

When using a small zippered wallet, the biggest concern is whether the zipper will damage the bills.

To combine a smaller wallet with an easy-to-use zipper, "Nouvelle ZIP" uses the rare [YKK Excella No. 2 zipper] in a wallet.

Compared to the zippers commonly used in long wallets (No. 3 or No. 5 zippers), the No. 2 zipper has a narrower metal part and a smaller slider, making it less likely to bite bills.

The narrower metal part also allows the wallet to achieve an exceptionally thin profile of 11 mm, or 13 mm including the back pocket.

The size of the wallet itself was adjusted in 1 mm increments while repeatedly checking its usability.

Easy access to important cards

We added a dedicated pocket for important "VIP cards" in a prominent location on the front of the coin purse, where the zipper opens.

This pocket holds 2–3 cards.

Store your frequently used "VIP cards" in this VIP seat.

There are two card pockets deep inside, each holding 3 cards, for a total capacity of approximately 6 cards.

The card pockets are wide enough to accommodate cards slightly larger than credit cards.

Less likely to show card marks over time

There is no card pocket on the front of the wallet.

The wallet is designed so that the outlines of cards and coins do not show on the front, preventing the leather from deforming even with long-term use.

↑Even when filled, it maintains this smooth appearance😌 (holds 8 cards)

An exceptionally easy-to-use coin purse

When opened, the zipper reveals a large-capacity coin compartment.

Not only coins, but bills and cards are also clearly visible at a glance.

Exceptionally large capacity. You can store this many coins without any problem (although it will be heavy).

Although the coin purse does not have its own zipper, it is designed so that coins cannot fall into other compartments when the outer zipper is closed, so you can use it with peace of mind.

Safe and reliable quality

Made from genuine Japanese cowhide leather, each wallet is individually crafted by artisans in Japan.

The interior is also made entirely of genuine leather, so there is no pilling on the back or deterioration of the interior over time.

Because we manufacture in-house, we can also provide prompt after-care, such as hardware repairs.

This is a wallet you can use with confidence for many years.
