I was so happy to see that our "TOTOKENThe rooftop outdoor air-bath space will finally be opened to the public, so this is the place to go first! I hope you will visit there, too.
UNKNOWN PRODUCTS
Unknown Products Bags
A shopper that enjoys aging.
When I look at my closet, I see a lot of colorful clothes, but what I've noticed lately is that even more so are the accessories, which are just so colorful. Shoes, caps, socks...well, a festival of primary colors as far as the eye can see. And now, without any further ado, we welcome you to another vivid item. This is a leather paper bag by Unknown Products, with an impressive pink color. It is made of leather using the same manufacturing process as paper bags, and the leather is thinned to the limit of its strength, giving it a paper-like texture, but at the same time allowing it to change over time, which is one of the charms of leather. Shoppers are cute, but they are not something you use over and over again, nor are they something that lasts very long. I would like to use this bag as a declaration of my commitment to "use good quality products with care for a long time.

Youth and Age Explorer bandana
Then I'll take two bandanas.
Have you ever heard that "the best of the best carry two handkerchiefs"?
In the movie "My Intern," Robert De Niro's character Ben said, "Because when a woman is crying, you have to hand it to her gently. I couldn't give him a used one, could I? Since then, I have tried to carry two handkerchiefs as much as possible, but I thought, "Wait a minute. If I were to encounter such a situation, I would not let him wipe his tears with a soggy handkerchief.... I wanted a clean handkerchief with a stylish design. I chose one from "Youth and Age
Explorer. The original bandanas are designed to be worn as a handkerchief, scarf, or accessory. They are designed to be worn not only as a handkerchief, but also as a scarf or an accessory.

Warren Faus Wallet
The particular gnome pull-up.
Everyone has their own criteria for choosing a wallet, but for me, it's anonymity. I'm not a fan of brand logos and "where'd you get that?
I don't like to be asked "Where is that from? I also don't mind people asking me, "Where did you get that? By the way, this is a bill clip wallet by Warenfuss. I was attracted by the dull, shiny, heavy luster of this wallet, so I did some research and found out that it is made of original noumenal pull-up leather. Pull-up leather, which contains more oil than ordinary leather items, ages in a variety of ways depending on how it is used and handled. It is something you use every day, and it is human nature to want to dye it your own color if you are going to use it for a long time. Although it is a money clip type, there are six card pockets inside and a hook coin purse on the exterior, so it is perfect for ease of use.

BUENA VISTA
Buena Vista Pants
After all, it's leopard, right?
The "Quiet Luxury" movement has been heard on the scene since the end of last year. It is a style that at first glance does not appear to be luxury, but is in fact..." This is a style that is upwardly compatible with "normcore," a term that was once used by everyone. I understand what you mean. I understand what you mean, but I'm not very good at that kind of style. I will always go for the "noisy" style!
So I chose leopard print pants. These are large baggy pants made to order for Dickies by Buena Vista, a brand for which former J-League player Keiji Ishizuka serves as creative director. I think it is better looking to grab the reins of a rough and tumble horse and control it than to wear clothes that go together beautifully as a matter of course, no matter what you wear with them.

Photography, exhibitions, meetings. People tend to think that I spend most of my time facing a computer, but in fact, about one-third of my working hours are spent traveling. I have been thinking about buying a pisto bike since it was stolen a few years ago, but I couldn't decide which one to buy. Finally, the other day! I got a bicycle for transportation. It's really too comfortable and I love it. I also really enjoy talking with a certain bicycle shop I trust a lot about customizing my bike. Thank you so much to both of you who gave it to me! I will take good care of it!
Gramicci
Gramiche's pants
A closer look.
When I first became interested in clothes, I liked Stussy and Carhartt WIP, and since social networking services were not yet as developed as they were back then, I did a lot of research on my own. I came across a creative director named Stefan Wendler. I have been checking out his brands ever since, and when I heard that he would be working with "Gramichi" starting with the Spring/Summer 2022 season, I was very excited. This is a gem I picked up from the newly dropped "Swell Series," and it is a very Stefan-like design. The design is a total pattern of tree bark, and the brand's iconic character "Dancing Man" is said to be hidden everywhere. The material is lightweight, with a unique texture of thin cotton with a peach finish. In summer, I'd like to wear these pants with a plain white T-shirt, sandals, and sunglasses.

Manhattan Portage Bags
We have been waiting.
When I was still in elementary school. The bag I loved to use every day was a one-shoulder bag like this one, as I recall. I still remember it as if it was yesterday when I gave it up in tears because it had reached the end of its useful life. Manhattan Portage has created this design, which is not so common when you look for a bag like this. The black body is the easiest to use, with white embroidery. And yet, the material used is lightweight and durable CORDURA®Rip-stop Polyester.
The fact that this is the first reissue since the brand was founded in 1983 is also a very exciting point. I wasn't alive back then, but when I carry this one-shoulder bag again, which I have a lot of fond memories of, I'm going to have flashbacks of the past all over again (laughs).

Carry on Air
If only this were the case.
This item, named "Carry-On," is an all-out carry-on case to be released by "Air" in mid-May. I discovered it at an exhibition the other day, and it is a masterpiece. There are two types in the lineup, large and small, and I picked up the smaller one this time. What a surprise! You can bring it on board a domestic flight. This saves you the trouble of checking in your luggage upon departure and waiting for it upon arrival. If this hassle is eliminated, you will have more time to spare than ever before. This alone is already attractive, but the smooth and quiet ride, which combines the world's first brake system with Hino's trusted miraclent® metal-bearing wheels, will relieve a lot of stress during transportation, so you should definitely give it a try. Other notable features include a hard shell made of Makrolon® polycarbonate, which boasts a high level of durability, for the body, and a TSA-certified combination lock that can only be claimed by products that meet the highest standards. The originally developed triangle-shaped trolley handle is currently under patent application, and the brand's attitude of always taking on new challenges is also very favorable.

I am of the school that does not believe in fortune telling.
I'm not a pyramid scheme, solicitation, stealth or anything, but I highly recommend Hot Spring Water 99. I heard from a female model that if you drink it, your skin will be cleaned from the inside out, and 5 minutes later I was buying it. I have been using it for about a week now, and I feel the effects are pretty good, but what I really like is that I am taking good care of my body, and that "self-work" feeling. What I like about it is that I am taking good care of my body, and I feel a sense of "self-exertion. This is the best part. I would like to enrich my life by using more tools to take care of my body.
FETICO × BLANC.
Fetico x Blanc Eyewear
People to people glasses.
If you make a mistake, a cat eye will be too kitschy, and an oval will be too expensive. If possible, you don't want to make that mistake, and it would be even better if you could find a pair that combines the best of both worlds.... Here, we would like to introduce "Bran's" "BE010," which Fetico has ordered in different colors. The story behind the design is completely different. The idea was that if there is a cat eye, it would be nice to have a human eye shape. The shape is characterized by its shallow top and bottom and long sides, which evokes the mood of the 1990s and 2000s, and the size, which is neither too large nor too small, is exquisite. There are three types of coloring. The colors are all enchanting, and it is nice to know that they can be worn with any outfit. It can be worn with a pure white T-shirt, a western shirt, or a handsome dress from Fetico. I'd like to say, "People need people's glasses," as the commercials say.

NICENESS.
Niceness jacket and shorts
Narrative clothing.
I feel deeply that at the root of "NICE-ness" is an inquisitiveness into all kinds of culture and a sincere selection of materials. This season's theme is "Golden Eternity.
Inspired by the Beat poets who caused a stir in the American literary world from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s, we reinterpret the artistry of their works, which defied the times and existing values, through clothing. With this background in mind, let us introduce you to the items. The jacket is based on a French hunting jacket from around the 40s, and the shorts are based on British army trousers. The raw materials are a mixture of super-long-staple cotton Pima and San Joaquin, which have different fiber lengths, and cotton and hemp blended yarn for the weft. The finishing is done in such a way that it dares to show an expression, so it has a rough but dignified look. The design and coloring of each pocket, as well as the leather on the collar, are also very cool. I'd love to wear it with some rough slip-ons. The other items are also worth talking about, so be sure to check them out.

I had given up on the idea of carrying it in a classy way. I had half-heartedly raised the white flag that I would carry a backpack with many pockets and functional materials on active days, but the battle has changed. Let me introduce you to this collaboration. Made of two fabrics, nylon and mesh, it has a lightness reminiscent of old-fashioned swimming sacks. The bag is made of two fabrics, nylon and mesh, and is lightweight, reminiscent of old-fashioned swimming sacks. The leather zippers are another reason why this sack is so classy. The specs that there is an inside pocket and an outside pocket that can be accessed through the side zipper section are also very sobering. Without a doubt, this is a gem that has changed the way I interact with backpacks.

Huebent's All-in-One
Plenty of white space.
At the risk of sounding prejudiced, when I hear the words "orange all-in-one," I tend to imagine something rugged and bulky. However, with "Huebent," it is a dress that will make your back stand up straight. If I may be so bold as to say so, I think it is a fun item not to wear alone, but to think of various ways to combine it with other items, in my opinion. Whether to wear a belt or not, whether to use leather or a messenger belt, whether to use silver or large accessories, whether to use simple or patterned innerwear, whether to wear loafers or sneakers, whether to wrap the top around the waist...you will surely find your original way of wearing this item as you select various options with your senses. I am sure you will find your original way to wear it. I am just a third party, but I feel that there is a lot of potential. To add a final note about the item, it is based on vintage workwear and is made of raw cotton yarn mixed with GIZA and SUVIN yarns, which gives it luster and a unique touch. There is an adjuster belt on the side to change the silhouette. I found a fun outfit that makes me spend hours staring at my closet.

Will the old powerhouse return to power?
The Premier League is fast approaching its conclusion. This season has been a dead heat among the three teams, and Liverpool has been eliminated? City is leading, but personally, I would like to see Arsenal crowned champions for the first time in a long time. The last time Arsenal won the championship was in the 2003-04 season at the Invincibles, so it will be the first time in 20 seasons if it comes true.
BEAMS
Beams Denim Pants
Attentive denim.
I like pants that are thicker because I want to hide my too-thin physique. However, I like pants that are calculatedly loose, not just big. The original pants from BEAMS are the ones that accommodate this kind of selfishness. These wide tapered denim pants are a standard item. As you can see, the strong tapered shape allows for a beautiful cushion, and even when worn wide, there is no need to drag the hems or roll them up. I feel that this kind of attention to detail is the reason why "BEAMS" is widely supported by so many people. The damage processing applied to the pants is also a key point, giving them a modern, designer look. For the upcoming summer season, I would like to challenge myself to wear these denim pants with a white T as the star of the show.

Undecorated knit polo
A lightweight ally.
From now on, I will inevitably be wearing more T-shirts, but that's just boring, so I think I'll give it a try this year. This is a short-sleeved knit polo from [undecorated]. I had never been able to get my hands on a short-sleeved knit polo before, but when I put my sleeves on this one from "undecorated," I was surprised. The fabric is soft to the touch and has just the right amount of transparency, so it's not too hot and feels good against the skin. Also, as I'm in the mood for V-necks these days, the skipper neckline is a nice touch. The lack of buttons makes it cooler, which I think is just right for summer. I have a feeling that a knit polo with a collar will come in handy in some situations where you don't want to be neatly dressed, no matter how light you are.

Porter Bags
The one that is not.
When you think of Porter's bags, I think 100 people out of 100 will think of the Tanker. It is such a classic and standard series, but I thought it would be interesting to take it off the shelf. With this in mind, I picked up this "CRAG" bag. The deep and exquisite olive color is achieved by adopting an original back satin fabric made of densely woven nylon and cotton blended yarn, and dyeing the yarn of different materials. The main compartment can hold an A4-size bag, and the front pocket is convenient for organizing small items. I usually use a backpack, but recently I've been feeling that it looks childish, so I'm now floating on this "CRAG" which can be worn diagonally.

Peezy sneakers
The fruits of my sneaker love.
It seems to be there, but it wasn't. Simple, yet striking. I like to create products that reach out to such itches, and the sneakers produced by "Peezy" are one of those products. I believe that the company's ability to create new products by combining traditional design with modern functionality is the result of its unrelenting love for sneakers. One that caught my eye in particular was the new "GARDEN
WOVEN" in a new color. I was struck by the color scheme, with different shades of blue on the woven instep and suede around the woven instep, and green accents on the heel. People around me say, "You wear that color a lot," and I seem to have a thing for saxe blue. The excellent breathability makes them comfortable even in summer, and the specs that allow them to be worn as mules by stepping on the heels are also attractive. I have no complaints about the design, function, or price.

The North Face x Undercover Setup
You have to get dirty to be cool.
It is not about "looking good in the mountains," but about "fitting in with the mountains.this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)I had this thought when I saw items from "SOUKUU," a collaborative project by "The North Face" and "Undercover" when I went to Mount Kintoki for a photo shoot for "The North Face. The khaki and black coloring blends in with the various backgrounds of the mountain, whether it is a green forested area, a desolate rocky terrain, or a steep summit area. When it comes to collaborations between sports and outdoor brands, there is an image that they are actually consumed as fashion items, but in the case of "SOUKUU," I want people to try it on once in the field as well. As you can see, the design quality is high, but I believe that the true value of the functions and details incorporated in these items can only be realized when they are used in the situations envisioned by the creators. Although the item does not change over time, you will grow attached to it as you stain it.

GOLDWIN's wool T
Addictive comfort.
Light, smooth and soft. I've been wearing this wool T as often as I can! The key is in the use of a special material: the surface of the fiber that touches the skin is made of wool, and the inner surface contains filament yarn. This allows the T to overcome the weak points of wool, such as quick-drying and easy-care properties, while maintaining wool's elegant luster, moisture absorption, and deodorant properties. This is a versatile item that can be used as a base layer for running and trekking, as well as for working out at the gym, going to and from the gym, and even for town use. Above all, the enveloping comfort that you can feel when you put the sleeves on is unbearable. For the coming season, this wool T and the pants introduced next will complete the look.

Nice to meet you.
I have to admit that until now I was a little reluctant to wear nylon pants. I thought they would make a rustling sound when I walked and that they might be too sporty. I thought they were too sporty. However, when I tried them on, I found that they are lightweight, cool, and great!
I know it's only natural since the material is made of denim, but for someone like me who usually wears only denim, I was impressed, no kidding. The store that led to this encounter was Kirkis, a select store that is currently the focus of attention and is owned by DISNEVER THAT. These nylon pants are an original item from Kirkis, and are new for the spring/summer 2024 season. The waist is fitted with a webbing belt, and the hems can be cinched with a drawcord to fit the silhouette of the wearer, which is a nice touch. The pants are slightly tapered, so I feel they look great when worn with a shorter-length top.
