To Hawaii, a paradise embraced by nature, with Gregory.

Hawaii is one of the 50 U.S. states where you can feel especially close to nature. Although it is a resort destination, the ocean and mountains are always close by. Gregory bags, which were born in the U.S., show their true value in places where you can feel the bounty of the earth. We went to Hawaii to experience the true Hawaii with locals carrying GREGORY bags.

Hawaii is close to the ocean and art.

UTLITY SHOULDER S
The "Utility Shoulder S" is a shoulder bag with Gregory's iconic leather zipper pull. It can be used for daily use, or when traveling, it can be tucked into a suitcase and used as a second bag. ¥13,200

Reina is a loco-girl who has also lived in Japan. After being born in New York, she worked in Bali and Japan before coming to Hawaii 14 years ago.

. Hawaii is right there in the mountains , and the ocean is close by. Honolulu is also an urban city, so I like the balance between the two. Also, Hawaiians always say "Aloha," don't they? Aloha" is used as a greeting, and it also means love, but above all, I love the spirit of "Aloha. . I can't translate it directly, but it is always kind and gentle. Tokyo is exciting and wonderful, but Hawaii is better suited for me right now.

FINE DAY
Gregory's Garden Tapestry pattern is one of the brand's most popular designs, and the black tapestry series is available exclusively at the brand's online store and company-owned stores. ¥18,700

Reina is located in a redevelopment area called Kakaako , a hip neighborhood where independent stores have recently opened. It used to be a factory district, but now the graffiti that was painted there has been transformed into a variety of wall art, making it look like an outdoor art museum.

. "I usually carry a backpack . I usually carry a backpack with my bathing suit and a lot of my favorite fruits. I like Gregory bags because they have all the features I need. I don't mind handling them a little bit, and the design is simple. The small pockets in various places are also important for me because I carry a lot of stuff.

PADDED SHOULDER
The Padded Shoulder is popular with all generations, regardless of gender, and its simple construction makes it easy to use. It is the perfect size for carrying valuables and a few essentials, whether in Japan or Hawaii. ¥8,250

Reyna says she goes to the mountains , to the valley , or to the ocean depending on her mood that day. On days when she wants to get some exercise, she walks around Koko Head. She also likes to read and carries a book with her, so a "Gregory" bag is perfect for that.

. and I don't spend much time at home. . When I go to the beach, I spend most of my time outside because I have a lot of family and friends in Hawaii. When I do, I tend to pack a small bag with just what I need and head out."

FINE DAY
Fine day" blends in with a feminine outfit like Reina's without any discomfort. ¥18,700

The last place we arrived at was Waimanalo Beach, a locals' favorite beach with almost no tourists. The residents of this neighborhood have lived in Hawaii for a long time, and there is an atmosphere of "Aloha" in the air.

It's always a pleasant place to be. But I wouldn't want to tell too many people about it.
