" PYTHON BLUE " is a collection of PULAU products that uses diamond python ( snake leather ) dyed with indigo using the traditional Japanese method of "natural indigo lye fermentation."

This is a product I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for the real thing!

This long wallet is our top pick in the series, packed with attention to detail. While functionality and large capacity were given top priority, it was designed to be lightweight and compact, and was completed after repeated fine adjustments down to the millimeter by a sewing craftsman.

Its features include 12 vertical card pockets that open 180 degrees for smooth insertion and removal, a zipper-free coin purse (coins won't spill out), and five free pockets, including two with wide gussets. It can be used to separate and store bills, as well as a multi-functional organizer for receipts, coupons, bankbooks, passports, tickets, etc.

For those who prefer cash, it is easy to take money in and out, and for those who prefer cards, if you put the cards you use most often at the front, you can take them out with a little opening and closing, making it stress-free to use when paying. In addition, since it has a double zipper, it can be used in a direction that is easy to use and according to your dominant hand.

This three- piece set includes a long wallet, coin case, and card case, and we recommend using them depending on the situation.

What is "natural indigo lye fermentation"?

The leather material used in our products is carefully hand-dyed one by one at the Aizomeya indigo dyeing workshop in the naturally rich Minamisatsuma city of Kagoshima prefecture.

Using a traditional method called "natural indigo lye fermentation" that has been passed down since before the mid-Edo period, the dye is made by fermenting the raw material, sukumo, from Tokushima in a jar for about 10 days. No chemicals or chemical dyes (synthetic indigo) are added for color matching, mass production, or efficiency, as is commonly done in the dyeing process.

Dyeing artisans rely on their experience and intuition to manage the materials daily according to the climate and conditions, and by communicating with living indigo, they create the beauty of a natural indigo color with depth. Due to the spread of synthetic indigo from around the early Meiji period, it is said that there are only a handful of dyers in Japan who faithfully adhere to this traditional method of dyeing with 100 % natural ingredients, making it extremely rare and valuable.

☆ Because this is a dyed product made from natural materials, there are individual differences in the shade of the dye and the pattern of the material. The image is for reference only. The product tends to appear slightly brighter than the actual product.

☆ About handling
・Leather products may become scratched, discolored, or stained due to exposure to water or friction. If the product gets wet, dry it thoroughly in the shade and store it away from moisture and direct sunlight.
・Because the material used is soft and delicate leather, please be careful not to put it in a place where it will be under pressure, such as in a clothing pocket, or to overstuff it, as this may cause deformation or the zipper to break.
・When cleaning, please use a cleaner that is suitable for the material. Indigo dyed products may discolor when exposed to chemicals, so we recommend that you refrain from using commercially available leather cleaners on the indigo dyed parts.
