INDEN Business Card Case “Chevron-S” – BK x IV

INDEN est. 1582 is the oldest manufacturer of Koshu Inden – lacquered deerskin from Kofu, Japan. For over 400 years, soft deerskin has been finished with Japanese lacquer, a technique originally used for samurai armor and equipment. Today, it is used to create elegant everyday accessories that combine traditional Japanese patterns with modern design.

INDEN Business Card Case “Chevron-S” – BK x IV

The "Chevron-S" business card case is a slim, high-quality business card holder for a professional first impression. Depending on the paper thickness, it holds approximately 20–30 business cards ; side slots offer additional space for an ID card or other plastic cards. Its flat design fits easily into a jacket, trouser, or briefcase pocket – ideal for meetings, trade fairs, and business appointments.

The exterior is made of lacquered deerskin, while the interior is lined with supple cowhide – meticulously handcrafted by Japanese artisans. Over time, the leather adapts to the leather, becoming softer and developing a subtle sheen that gives each case a unique patina.

The chevron pattern takes its shape from arrow fletchings and symbolizes a bow on the battlefield in Japan. It is used as a lucky charm at ceremonies such as weddings and graduations and represents determination – alluding to the proverb that an arrow shot from a bow does not return. In the BK x IV (Black × Ivory) color variant, the graphic contrast is particularly striking and modern – elegant, yet understated.
