I'm looking to replace a stolen wallet for my Japanese friend and I'm having the hardest time trying to find a similar one. I can't remember the name of the Japanese designer but I think it started with an "A". Any recommendations are greatly appreciate

Since you cant remember the name of the designer I have included some choices from different japanese designers.   http://www.tumi.com has a nice selection at affordable prices   Im sure your friend will be tickled pink that you were thoughtful enough to get him a new wallet even if it is different . I recommended a breastpocket wallet as it might not be so easily stolen.  http://www.tokyocube.com has wallets made by anti system but they are very expensive. Good luck!

There are a few designers that begin with A that also make wallets out of Japan. The best thing you can do is casually ask him about his favroite designer so that at least you will have a name. That will make replacing it much easier.
