Shinji Iwamoto, the founder of Roberu, is passionate about surfing. In fact, the name Roberu is a combination of ‘road, beach and runner’. Beach recalls vision of sunshine, beach and surfing. To welcome this summer, Roberu is collaborating with Blue Horizon, a surf shop base in Shōnan-Kaigan at Kamakura, Japan. The wallet series takes blue hue as the theme, echoing the surfing mood.

Natural pigment is layered on leather material, combined with shading technique that creates a wave-like effect. The texture and shade is made to age gracefully, crafted with the finest Roberu expertise. Smooth corners and stitching are subtle design details. Apart from traditional bi-fold wallet, there is also a five-pocket alternative – perfect for fitting name cards, coins and banknote. Now available at THINK SILLY Store.
