The "Nouvelle" series, named after the French word for "new."

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

It is a compact wallet designed to fit in small bags and accommodate the shift toward a cashless lifestyle.

The small zippered long wallet, "Nouvelle ZIP," achieves some of the smallest and thinnest dimensions for a zippered long wallet.

Surprisingly small and thin

While the "Nouvelle ZIP" is one of the smallest of its kind, it is even thinner than our small leather flap long wallet "Nouvelle" (approx. 20mm thick), achieving an overwhelming compactness at only 13mm thick.

Once you use it, you won't be able to go back to large, heavy long wallets; it is a mini long wallet that will change your lifestyle.

At nearly the same size as a 10,000 yen bill (160mm wide x 76mm high)—measuring 165mm wide x 83mm high—it is the minimal size for a zippered long wallet.

Minimalist and luxurious

Small wallets can often look cheap. If you prioritize smallness and light weight too much, you might end up using thin leather or omitting the lining to cut costs, which makes the wallet look and feel low-quality.

The "Nouvelle ZIP" is crafted with a luxurious feel by pouring the expertise Philosophy has cultivated over many years of manufacturing custom-made leather products into high-quality Japanese leather.

While the main material is a soft, shrink leather that fits comfortably in your hand, it is reinforced with appropriate core materials to ensure it doesn't lose its shape over long-term use, and the interior uses a firm, embossed leather.

Despite its small size, this is a wallet where you can feel the high quality of genuine leather and craftsmanship.

Convenient back pocket

We have added a large pocket to the outer back side.

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

Because the back pocket is seamlessly integrated with the wallet body, its thickness is kept to a minimum, resulting in a discreet and smart appearance.

Divide your bills into two sections

In response to the many requests we’ve received for "wanting to put bills in two separate sections" while also keeping the wallet compact, we achieved both with a unique structure.

With bill compartments located both in front of and behind the coin pocket, you can use the wallet flexibly, such as by separating bills or keeping bills and receipts apart.

The gusset without seams inherits the design from Philosophy’s long-selling wallet, "Fleur."

By having no seams on the gusset, bills can fit securely all the way to the back, contributing to the wallet’s compact design.

The divider between the bills and coins is not fixed, allowing it to move freely; even as the number of bills increases, they can still be inserted fully to the back.

The secret to a zipper that doesn't catch on bills

When using small zippered wallets, the biggest concern is often: will the zipper damage my bills?

To achieve both a compact body and ease of use for the zipper, the "Nouvelle ZIP" utilizes the [YKK Excella No. 2 zipper], which is rare for wallets.

The No. 2 zipper has a narrower width compared to zippers used in standard long wallets (No. 3 or No. 5 zippers), and the slider size is smaller, making it less likely to catch on bills.

Furthermore, the narrower metal width achieves an overwhelming thinness of 11mm for the main body, and 13mm including the back pocket.

The size of the wallet body was adjusted in 1mm increments while repeatedly checking for ease of use.

Easy access to your important cards

We added a dedicated pocket for your important "VIP cards" in a prominent place inside the zipper, right on the front of the coin compartment.

This pocket can hold 2–3 cards.

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

There are two card pockets at the back of the interior, each capable of holding about 3 stacked cards, for a total of approximately 6 cards.

Because the card pockets have extra width, you can also store cards that are slightly larger than credit cards.

Less likely to show card impressions over time

There are no card pockets on the front of the body.

This is designed so that the outlines of cards or coins do not show on the surface, ensuring the leather does not deform even after long-term use.

↑ Even when filled, it retains a smooth surface like this 😌 (8 cards stored)

An overwhelmingly easy-to-use coin compartment

Opening the zipper reveals a high-capacity coin space that opens wide.

Not only coins, but bills and cards are also immediately visible.

Overwhelmingly high capacity. Even with this many coins inside (though it will get heavy), there is no problem.

Although the coin compartment itself does not have a zipper, it is designed to ensure that coins do not spill into other spaces while the outer zipper is closed, so please rest assured.

Safe and reliable quality

We use Japanese genuine leather (cowhide) and each piece is produced by craftsmen in Japan.

Since the interior is also made entirely of genuine leather, there is no fuzzy wear on the reverse side or aging degradation of the lining.

Because it is manufactured in-house, we can provide prompt after-care, such as repairs for hardware.

This is a wallet you can use with peace of mind for a long time.
