[Reader's gift available] NEWS: For jogging, outdoor activities, travel, and everyday use! Crabby Wallet, a wallet that pursues minimalism, has arrived in Japan for the first time

I'd like to talk about a certain "wallet" that I jumped into the editorial department the other day.

HandsAid Co., Ltd. has begun pre-order sales of Crabby Wallet, a wallet that can be wrapped around a smartphone, on the CCC (TSUTAYA) group crowdfunding site GREEN FUNDING by T-SITE , which stores around 10 keys, bills, and cards within just 3mm thin, and is now available for pre-order. In response to the high response of this product on the world's number one crowdfunding site, kickstarter, the US world's number one crowdfunding site, and the large number of requests for release in Japan, we have decided to hold advance pre-orders in Japan as well. Prices range from 2,980 yen (tax included) to 4,980 yen (tax included). GREEN FUNDING offers a course with a 15-34% discount on the regular price as an early reservation discount. The product is scheduled to be shipped in August 2017.

This news was a bit of a surprise to me. The reason is that this item actually happened to me at the outdoor goods exhibition "Outdoor Retailer 2017" held in Salt Lake City, USA last summer.

The wallet caught my eye as I was searching for purposelessly in the "VENTURE OUT" area, a line of small, emerging brands that were recently established, and was a stylish idea that neatly fits all the bare minimum necessary items in a simple, minimalist design. Although it was neither high-tech nor high-fashion, I was somehow attracted to it, and as I looked at it with great interest, I wondered if anyone would bring this to Japan (I'm sure someone would have an eye on it), two young founders who seemed very friendly handed me a sample.

A year later, this wallet was a great choice for everyday life, as expected. Even in the United States, where credit cards can be purchased at any store, electronic money is becoming quite popular in Japan, and if you have a credit card, electronic money such as a Suica (regular) in your wallet, and a house key, you will dramatically reduce the hassle of putting out a large wallet. I was worried about, but I still think I can still withstand the elastic and keychain loops for now, so I was also pleased with the sturdy construction.

While I was using it conveniently, the release information like the one above jumped into the editorial department. Not only did I feel like something fateful, but I would like to introduce this item to you as a wonderful item that everyone except me will love.
