Small and thin wallet SAKU ver.3 Plus VeauEpsom

Product Features

The best of thin, small and large capacity wallets

Small and thin are becoming the norm for compact wallets. However, it is difficult to achieve both ease of use, sufficient capacity, and design. In particular, ease of use and capacity are in a trade-off relationship with compactness, and prioritizing one usually means sacrificing the other.

Such Defying contradictions, having both This is "

"SAKU" is a bi-fold wallet that has become synonymous with us at moku.

By using SAKU, you can enjoy the "ease of carrying" that compact wallet users cannot compromise on, as well as the "ease of use," "storage capacity," and "fashion" that are as desirable as possible. You can get almost everything you want in a wallet. .

Are there any of you who can't find the best one and have to replace your wallet frequently?
This will put an end to your search for your wallet!

Four features of SAKU ver.3

1. Small and thin

The size is 93mm wide x 93mm high.
Even if you put 8 cards, 10 bills, and 15 coins inside, it's only 15mm thick.
Even when filled to its maximum capacity, it is less than 20mm thick, which is about the same thickness as a typical smartphone, so it can easily be stored in a pocket or small bag.
*The thickness may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the cards and types of coins stored.

2.Large capacity

Maximum capacity is 8 cards, 20 coins, and 25 bills .
You can use it as your main wallet even when traveling.

In pursuit of compactness, the capacity is estimated to be about 5-6 cards and 15 coins.

I think you can see that SAKU has a large capacity.

At first glance, this difference may seem small, but once you get used to using a mini or compact wallet, you'll realize how convenient it is to be able to fit two or three more cards and coins in it .

*According to our own research

3. It's easy to take coins in and out

When you press both sides of the coin purse with your hands, the opening will pop right open.

Many compact wallets sacrifice storage capacity, and because they are compact, the opening and closing area of ​​the storage compartment tends to be small. For this reason, many people use them while putting up with the inconvenience of taking things in and out.

You don't have to hold back anymore .

SAKU has a coin purse designed at the top of the wallet, and the opening can be opened by pinching both ends (design right* (patent) acquired). You can easily take coins in and out without being hindered by anything.
* Design Registration No. 1731798

There is one thing I am sure of.
This means that a coin purse with a "shallow structure" is definitely easier to take coins out of .

What is common is a deep coin purse that is about the size of a card. Although this design may be able to hold a lot of coins, the coins tend to accumulate at the bottom, so you have to insert your fingers deep inside, making it difficult to remove the coins.

As with all moku wallets, the coin purse is It is purposely designed to be shallow enough to just fit a 500 yen coin inside. .

Manufacturers who have realized that this structure is correct are gradually starting to make it shallower. This is an important point that you should definitely check when choosing a wallet.

4. Direct access to coins

Imagine a scenario where you need to use a coin.
-When paying at the cash register, don't you first check how many coins you need to take out to avoid ending up with loose change?
- Wouldn't it be easier if you could only put coins in and take them out of vending machines?

SAKU is, A structure that allows you to take out coins directly without having to take out and open your wallet This means you can remain calm even when it's time to pay the bill, which can sometimes be a stressful situation.

The higher-end model (Plus)

Card-type products are recommended to prevent loss

There is no space to store AirTags. Therefore, we recommend card-type products. Card-type products can fit in the card compartment of your wallet. There are many different products on the market, so we hope you will use them together with your favorite card-type tracker.

For reference, our staff also use the Anker Eufy Security SmartTrack Card (an anti-loss tracker) . It is compatible with Apple's "Find My Phone" (iOS devices only). It is about the thickness of two credit cards, so if you have a SAKU with a maximum card capacity of eight cards, this

If you add an anti-loss tracker, you can store about six cards.

SAKU's track record and the development history of ver.3

Previous Work

SAKU ver.2 has received an astonishingly high total rating of 4.9 out of 5 out of more than 200 reviews on its official website.
*As of the end of October 2023

On the other hand, we also received requests for improvements. The issues can be summarized as follows:

・It would be better if the bill holder was a little larger. ・It's scary that cards might fly out from the side. ・If the number of cards stored is small, the cards are not held in place and tend to fall out (issues that come with having a lot of storage).

To improve these issues, This is the final product. .

Improvement 1.
Make the bill holder bigger

If the bill holder is too large, it will be difficult to insert and remove bills.

SAKU ver.2 was a little small. However, the issue was that the small size of 1,000 yen bills meant that they would not hold unless inserted firmly. We received many requests for improvement, so we improved it to an exquisite size that maintained a balance between "ease of insertion and removal" and "holding power."

Improvement point 2.
The card removal slot is designed to fit your dominant hand, and the sides are enlarged for a better grip.

The card slots have also been adjusted to provide a good balance between ease of insertion and removal and a secure hold.

Until now, the design was such that if you were right-handed, the card would be ejected from the left side, but with this model the card is ejected from the right side, making it easier for right-handed people to insert and remove cards.

One might think that since cards are inserted and removed from the right side, there would be concerns that they would interfere with the coin purse, but as you can see in the video above, you can simply pull the cards up and then spread them out, so there is no need to worry about that.

In addition, in ver.2, the side of the card storage area was short because we prioritized ease of removal, and depending on how you used it, cards were likely to fall out. In this version, the side is longer, so it holds the cards firmly, Successfully reduced the risk of falling I did.

Improvement point 3.
Options available for those with fewer cards

SAKU can store eight cards, but if you store fewer cards, the cards will not be held in place and will tend to move around. When closed, cards will not fall out of the wallet, but when opened, they may fall out, which is an issue.

Therefore, for those who don't have many cards, we have prepared an option that can store keys. This card-shaped key case can be used when you have four or fewer cards and can store up to two keys.

*This function is optional (sold separately).
*The number of cards that can be stored varies depending on the thickness of the keys being stored.
*This product can only be ordered as a set with a wallet. If you order it together with a wallet, you can purchase it at a discounted price. The color will be the same material and color as the wallet body (interior), and you cannot choose the color.
*It will be included with the wallet according to the delivery date of the wallet.
