Washi' is a type of paper, handmade in Japan, using fibres from the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub, or the paper mulberry, but also can be made using bamboo, hemp, rice, and wheat. The word "washi" comes from WA 'Japanese' and SHI 'paper', and the term is used to describe paper made by hand in the traditional manner.
Each sheet of paper takes months to make and this washi paper is made especially for Tateossian in an artisanal fashion by a husband and wife team based in Tokyo. We have tested and perfected the strength of the Washi paper to withstand staining and heavy use and this has been done over a period exceeding one and a half years.
Washi paper is also well known for its absorbency (resulting in a denser and more vibrant colour of fabric), lightness (it weighs much less than other papers), it's low acidity and flexibility (there is no grain to washi giving the paper a resistance to creasing, wrinkling and tearing). This collection combines traditional Washi and genuine Italian leather skillfully crafted together to make a unique collection.
A thoughtful gift for a man who appreciates the traditional techniques. This is a great and unique wallet, that would immediately stand out amongst the numerous wallet options available in the market and will have a story to tell.
