I'd recommend multiple gpg-keys while this is more transparent. It's
even possible to use different settings for the gpg-ids depending on the
folder.

I do it like this:

export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=$HOME/.password-store/private

Now you can use pass like you're used to be - only with an specific
directory. The only difference is: you need two leading slashes

  pass show //SUBFOLDER/test -c

This works also with different git configurations inside the folders:

export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=$HOME/.password-store/private
pass git push

I have some entries in my .bash_aliases

    # aliases for the different pathes of password store "pass"
    alias pass-private='export
PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=$HOME/.password-store/privat'
    alias pass-orga1='export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=$HOME/.password-store/orga1'
    alias pass-orga2='export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=$HOME/.password-store/orga2'
    alias pass-reset='export PASSWORD_STORE_DIR=$HOME/.password-store/'
