"Neon Genesis Evangelion" is celebrating its 30th anniversary since its TV anime debut, and its enduring popularity continues to spawn countless collaborations, a testament to its three-decade-long appeal.
Recently, Japanese leather brand NADAYA, which has collaborated with the franchise before, announced a new partnership. They're dropping a "genuine leather mini trifold wallet" inspired by Shinji Ikari and Kaworu Nagisa. Priced at 14,300 JPY, it's now available for pre-order on NADAYA's official website and the EVA STORE.
This collaboration's main draw is how it weaves the iconic "four-hand piano" imagery of Shinji and Kaworu from the series into its design. The core concept? Two individuals coming together to form a complete picture.
The exterior boasts a sleek, understated black design, while the interior uses color accents to subtly hint at Shinji and Kaworu's character aesthetics. The surface features an engraving of "Unit-13," symbolizing the Eva they pilot together. Inside, embossed musical score curves and headphone elements are incorporated, and with a detachable coin purse, opening it feels like "entering the cockpit."
Crafted entirely from genuine cowhide leather, this wallet exudes premium quality. It's perfect for fans who want to subtly showcase their love for Evangelion without being too flashy.
