Taito, TokyoSince 1961

A wallet is a tool for everyday life

Based in Taito, Tokyo, La Moda Yoshida Co., Ltd. has specialized in leather wallets and small leather goods for more than half a century since its founding in 1961, planning and manufacturing original products and handling OEM production while valuing the handwork of its artisans. In 1978, the company's private brand was born from the idea that a wallet used every day is not merely a fashion item but a tool. Combining free-spirited ideas that may seem unconventional at first glance with reliable everyday comfort, we continue to craft each piece with care so that it can be cherished for many years.

Original Designs Built Around Everyday Usability

Commitment 1

Unbound by the conventional shape of a wallet, we create many original designs that may not even look like wallets at first glance. A gently rounded form close to a horseshoe, an accordion compartment that holds dozens of cards: each shape is thought through by working backward from the way its owner lives. Behind an appearance that may seem unconventional lies meticulously calculated functionality for a tool used every day, and once you hold one and use it, you will notice how deeply every detail has been considered. Because it is something you carry every day, we hope you will choose a piece that makes you feel proud each time you take it in hand.

The Right Material for Each Use: Quality Within Easy Reach

Commitment 2

Because a wallet is a tool used every day, we select the material best suited to each product, considering not only its beauty but also its durability, feel, and how it changes with use. We assess each leather's characteristics and intended use, and rather than pursuing quality alone, we also value making wallets you can use freely and for a long time in everyday life. Balancing comfort in use, quality, and ease of ownership, we continue to make wallets that fit naturally into your life.

Leather That Grows With You, Backed by Attentive Care

Commitment 3

The more you use leather, the better it fits your hand, gradually changing its expression to suit your style and the way you handle it; every material ages in its own way. To help you enjoy these qualities for years to come, we have also built a thorough support system. Our artisans accept repairs wherever possible, such as faulty zippers or loose stitching. Bring your product to our store, and staff trained in specialized leather-care courses will condition it free of charge, as many times as you like. We will continue to value both the comfort of leather that molds to your hand and a care system that stays by your side.
