It is the perfect item for women who are looking for a one-of-a-kind adult item.

Recently, I have seen fashionable buyers wearing LYRIS, an upcycled bag made of aluminum material. Although it has a POP design, it was originally made from waste materials from beverage packs in the Philippines, and all the products are made by local women who clean, cut, and knit them one by one. It has already begun to become popular in Sydney and Paris, and is gaining fans in Japan.

One-of-a-kind jewellery inspired by nature and animals is the perfect gift.

If you are looking for original accessories and parts made from natural stones, punana is the place to be. Part of the production is commissioned from an employment support office for people with disabilities, and masks that are attached to mask holders and bracelets, which have increased in demand due to the Corona disaster, are popular. Detailed professional handwork with motifs such as bird's nests and constellations, aroma stones and real hydrangea petals, is an item that tickles the hearts of amateur artists.

Filtango Lab's body wash is tightly knitted with traditional Japan techniques. Silk thread, which is made only in the Tango region of Kyoto, contains plenty of the natural protein "sericin" and gently cleanses the skin. The most popular type at department store events is the long type that can be washed on the back. Bird shapes are popular for gifts, and heart shapes are popular for young women. Hand-knitted by elderly women in the area who have been involved in the industry for many years, it is an item that contains the thoughts of silk thread.

The material is sand and stone. Considering them as fragments of the earth, "Ametsuchi" develops items that connect with the earth and heal the body and mind. Carefully selected materials such as the white sand of Shimane and the rippled stones of Awaji Island are gently wrapped in organic cotton, and by fitting them to the skin, they promote the function of warming, cooling, and conditioning the body. Items that are blended with ancient Japan scents and set items are also popular.

A stuffed toy from CARAPAU Portuguese Products with a cute unique expression of animals. It uses a natural wool fabric and linen called burrell, which has been passed down for more than 400 years in the mountainous areas of Portugal, and only about 100 bodies are made per month because of the need for advanced sewing techniques. It seems to be a brand that was born for the purpose of protecting animals, and the habitat and ecology of the animals are written in the manual, and there is a playful spirit that each one has a name. It is a stuffed animal that has a tight feel that does not lose its shape, can be used for a long time until it becomes an antique, and will become a member of the family before you know it.

Finally, I would like to introduce a feminine dress and gown made of soft 100% Indian cotton from India. EK KADAM is a brand developed by a Japan woman who loves India and moved to India. Using fabrics dyed with the "block print" technique, which is said to have existed since BC, they are carefully sewn one by one with the aim of quality that can be worn for a long time, sticking to silhouettes that make Japan women look beautiful. Smooth to the touch, comfortable to wear, and colorful clothes are gaining fans among women in their 30s ~ 50s who say that they can "make you feel positive"!
