LIHIT LAB - Slim Key Case - Hachiware Neko

LIHIT LAB PuniLabo - Slim Key Case - Hachiware Neko (SMART FIT PuniLabo スリムキーケース ハチワレネコ) is a slim, elongated silicone case with the face of a hachiware cat, for carrying your keys tucked away inside your bag without adding bulk or scratching anything else. It is part of the classic PuniLabo animal line.

It is a bluish-grey cat with a white muzzle: hachiware is the Japanese name for a cat whose facial marking splits into an inverted V, like the character ハ. The hanging loop is light blue.

About LIHIT LAB. LIHIT LAB is a Japanese manufacturer of office supplies and stationery founded in Osaka in 1938, best known for its files, folders and organisers. Its name combines the German word Licht ("light") and Lab., short for laboratory. In 2016 its SMART FIT ACTACT standing pen case won the excellence prize, in the function category, of the Japan Stationery Award (日本文具大賞). A year later came PuniLabo, its line of animal-shaped silicone items; in Japanese, "puni" evokes the soft, squishy feel of silicone.
