Exactly one year ago, I went to Tokyo and made one of my wishes come true.
In fact, for those who have purchased a watch from our store in the past six months,
The color is random, but the original ``travel pouch'' was given to you.
This is a long-awaited item that I submitted a plan for a year ago and realized.
This pouch was created by Industria, Tokyo.
Even if you hear the manufacturer's name, you may not be able to understand it,
I'm sure many people will know the name ``Seiichiro Hankui.''
I have known President Hankui for about 15 years.
In fact, President Hankui is the former employer of our representative and the founder of "Artisan & Artist."
I'm sure the camera bags and supplies here,
I think there are many people who have benefited from our makeup bags.
There is no one in the camera and makeup industry who doesn't know this.
We created a brand that is so famous that there is no one who has never used it.
He is also a very famous photographer.
Currently, you are mainly responsible for planning and managing the brand Industria.
Our activities are based on the theme of "Function is the ultimate design."
The manufacturing is completely "Made in Japan",
We often agree with this.
This time, one of our social activities is going paperless.
Use something other than paper to store your old boxes, warranties, etc.
It all started with the idea of digitizing as much as possible.
Although it is possible to make the warranty paperless,
As expected, the box for delivery is difficult.
However, it is easier for customers to use than the conventional one,
I don't think there is anything you can feel close to,
The idea for a "travel pouch" came to me.
However, even though I searched for OEM, I couldn't make what I wanted.
Even if there were, the number of orders would be too large to be realistic.
At that time, I had a preview of the current Tsukiji office.
When taking on a new challenge in Tokyo, which is also my old home,
What we cannot avoid are the people who interact with us.
I believe that we are what we are today because of people like that.
If I am going to go to Tokyo, I would like to do something to express my gratitude.
The first thing that came to my mind was to meet President Hankui again.
We met in Ginza, a place of memories one year ago in the summer,
Another memorable meeting was held at Veloce Ginza 1-chome store.
Within 30 seconds of starting, he said, "Okay! Let's do it!"
The rough shape was decided in an hour.
At a later date, material selection and estimate were quickly completed.
The material is "Ultra Suede" developed by Toray.
The highest quality artificial leather is also used by maison brands.
At first I was stopped because it was more expensive than genuine leather, but
Since this is something we will be handing over to our customers, we are very particular about it.
Not only does it feel nice against the skin, but it's also thick enough to protect the contents when you put your watch etc.
The inside has two layers, so you can also store watches and accessories.
Convenient to use when placing or storing your watch while traveling.
The fabric is available in two colors: greige and navy.
The buttons are gold, which goes well with both colors.
Please let us know if there is a color you would like when you pick it up.
Like Industria, this pouch is made in Japan,
Everything from the fabric to the sewing is carefully made.
Personally, I am confident that my level of satisfaction is quite high.
If you buy a watch from us, it will also come with an Industria pouch.
We strive to make this the best shopping experience for our customers.
With the recent rise in prices, everything has gone up, including myself.
I think that consumer behavior felt negative to many people.
However, it is not a mistake that shopping is fun.
The store's role is to provide appropriate value.
It's not easy for us either, but
Customers say "I'm glad I bought at this store" or "I'm glad I chose this store"
It's best for us to have you think that way.
It's really a small thing, but
It doesn't end after you buy a watch,
Wearing that watch and “going out” is what makes it so
Our company's concept is to "propose lifestyle through watches."
It would be a great wish for the customer to have the watch and pouch they bought on their way out next to them.
This year, we are planning to take more action than ever before,
We should be able to evolve into a store that can entertain many people.
The first step was to create and distribute travel pouches.
I’m seriously going to put my life on the line for the second half of 2023!!
