"We want to utilize the skills and spirit that Kyoto has handed down through the generations in our everyday lives." With this desire in mind, Rakukei Kobo creates Kyoto-related works every day.
Rakukei Kobo produces "SMART MOVE!", a product aimed at all adults who want to have a lot of things, but also want to be smart.
This revolutionary item can hold almost everything you need when you go out, including two smart keys, bills, an analog key, and cards. |
It's a quiet shock that it can fit two smart keys and almost all of your essentials when you go out.
A new patented structure. Crowdfunding has achieved 7 million yen! |
SMART MOVE! Five rules for development
1. Can store smart keys
2. Smart keys are easy to use
3. Too many partitions in the space
4. Keep it as compact as possible
5. Maintain quality and keep costs down
▼The answer to all of these is...
|
"SMART MOVE!" was completed about a year and a half after much trial and error.
A simple X-shaped pocket, created by simply sewing one spot in the center, provides amazing storage capacity.
Everything you store is in the best position, so it fits neatly and perfectly, and the contents maintain their shape well. |
It keeps all the things you carry around with you when you travel all in one place, making car travel more comfortable and smarter.
"Once you try it, you'll never go back." A must-have item that transcends categories.
The fact that the patent was granted just one year after application proves that there are no similar products. |
| The aesthetic of minimalism is based on the aesthetic sense of Kyoto. By reducing everything to the bare minimum, we have achieved both simple usability and beauty. |
Each smart key can be stored in a separate leather pocket,
Smart keys will not collide with each other and get damaged.
Other pockets can be used to store cards, bills, etc.
The gusset allows the bag to open just enough to make it easy to take out the contents.
The thickness is kept down by storing the three keys flat in a row.
To provide a moderate amount of expansion and a sense of hold so that the keys do not move,
The cut is adjusted to the perfect length.
I forgot something! The phone is ringing! I need to go to the bathroom!
When you need your keys, you're often in a hurry.
There is a pocket on the outside of the zipper for quick access.
After much trial and error to find a structure that would create a bulge large enough to insert the key while still having a smooth surface, we decided to widen the leather by 5mm on both sides.
Only half of the outer piece of leather is cut diagonally on both sides.
This can only be achieved through years of experience and craftsmanship.
If the hole is too low or the leather strap is too long, the smart key will fall out.
After making adjustments down to the millimeter, we arrived at the current height and length.
Hold the smart key with three fingers and extend your index finger.
It hooks onto the snap button and can be removed in just a second.
This is useful when you want to remove just the smart key, such as when you leave your car at the dealership.
Changing the keys is also hassle-free.
Even in places where the smart key will not respond unless you take it out, such as in coin parking lots with strong electromagnetic waves, you can quickly take it out and press the button by opening the zipper a little.
Sewing costs have been kept to a minimum and the amount of leather used has been reduced.
Because it is a "good product," we aim to make it affordable so that many people can use it.
The leather used is shrink cowhide, which is soft and fluffy to the touch and feels comfortable in your hand.
The zipper is made by YKK and opens and closes smoothly. The assembly techniques and beautiful stitching by skilled craftsmen with 30 years of experience provide a sense of security and robustness.
Each item will be delivered in a carefully crafted box using traditional techniques.
This was custom-made by a long-established box maker in Kyoto, founded in 1874.
It is also recommended as a gift for new beginnings, anniversaries, etc.
| This is recommended for those who want to reduce the amount of luggage they carry when they go out and want to spend their time smartly and efficiently. |
 It is a square of about 10cm on each side, and is just the right size to fit in your pocket. (Color: Sunzuri Kawadoko/blue-green)  Insert your frequently used IC card to commute by train or make payments. This one item will help you deal with the situation smoothly. (Color: Twilight Yearning/Navy) *Please be careful not to let IC cards with the same function interfere with each other.  You can easily go out with just this one item when dropping off or picking up your children. (Color: Tokonatsu Nadeshiko/Red)  Your manners when going out will be smarter. (Color: Red Light District Stone Pavement/Greige)  (Color: Alley/Black)
You can choose from a wallet, card case, and key set to fit your lifestyle and store only the items you want to carry with you at all times.
It can easily hold cards, licenses, parking tickets, and other tickets needed by drivers, as well as bills for parking fees and vending machines.
Using SMART MOVE! may inspire you to go cashless and organize your belongings. |

Scenes from memories are captured in colors. The feelings that Rakukei Kobo puts into colors. |
Kyoto is rich in natural beauty throughout the seasons, quaint streets, historical culture and festivals. Scenes of Kyoto like this are cut out together with stories and expressed as "Rakuiro."
If the story of "Rakuiro" overlaps with your own memories, the product will take on a meaning that makes it "something just for you."
Similar scenes and memories will overlap and become "your own color." Please enjoy this process. |
| Technical skills backed by years of experience as a craftsman and attention to detail. |
A husband and wife who run a bespoke leather goods workshop in Rakuhoku, Kyoto, have worked together with Rakukei Kobo to complete "SMART MOVE!"
They made perfect improvements even with vague requests such as "I want to eliminate this inconvenience" or "I want to make it more beautiful." Because they are a husband and wife team who truly enjoy making things, they were able to take on the challenge of "creating something that has never been done before."
The way the leather is cut and the order of sewing are carefully considered, including the minimal stitching of the X-shaped structure that creates four pockets with one stitch, and sewing costs have been kept to an absolute minimum.
Because it is a "good product," we want as many people as possible to use it. By adhering to this belief, we have overturned the fixed idea that "good products are expensive." |

We make every effort to secure stock, but when an item is out of stock, it may take 2 weeks to 1 month to produce and receive it. If you have any questions about the stock situation or arrival time, please feel free to contact us. |

Since we use natural leather, there may be slight individual differences in the grain of the leather. Please understand and acknowledge this is a characteristic and individuality of natural leather. |

Leather is vulnerable to rain and sweat, so if it gets wet, please allow it to dry naturally. If you use it while it is wet, the color may fade or transfer. We recommend storing it in a well-ventilated place. |
