iF AWARDS

MINA blue

MINA blue is a Japanese leather brand built on the idea that everyday tools should improve with use. Our wallet HAYAMICHI, winner of the iF Design Award 2026, is designed for Japan's transitional moment between cash and cashless payments. Its Tuning Structure lets users carry exactly what they need. When the flap closes, that is the right amount. Made from a single piece of leather, minimal stitching, no metal hardware. Our Hand-Matured Chrome Leather becomes a personal tool with use.

Design Statement

Always meeting leather for the first time. For leather to keep breathing into the future, it must carry the soul of leather — its truest character, present in every object. Long before leather became fashion, it was a tool. That living quality is quietly disappearing. The answer is not trends, but returning to what leather has always been. MINA blue is based in Japan, built on our own Hand-Matured Chrome Leather — making products where leather truly lives.
