A very unusual second blog post.
Well, I'm just bored because no one is coming (lol)

Our shop has the habit of being a watchmaker.
A funny watch shop that is all about fashion (lol)
The point is, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of yen or millions of yen you spend on a watch,
If you are not good at dressing or demeaning,
Do what you need to do before spending money on a watch!
This is the philosophy that has remained unchanged since the store opened.

I want you to think that I don't understand what you want to say, but at the same time,
"You're a watchmaker, right? Let's just talk about watches!"
For those who think so, I can provide a precise counterargument.
In the past, I spent more money on clothes than on watches.
In other words, I'm just a "shopping junkie" (lol)

Please read the past blogs for the details.
This time, the tension was so high that I fainted from beginning to end.



These are boots from Isamu Katayama Backlash, the world's top leather brand.
You already fainted just by looking at the photo, right?

This leather is from a new tanner called ``Mariam,'' which is independent from Italy's finest tanner ``Guidi.''
The base is made of horse leather and is made of the highest quality leather, which takes time and effort, and is called ``vachetta leather'' .
(If I start writing about leather, I won't be able to finish it, so please check the link)

Well, to put it simply, it is truly one of the highest quality leathers.
If you are saying that "Company H's leather is the best",
Come study a little more! I want to say.
In order to buy these boots, I kept decluttering and decluttering.
Will be ordering more in a few months.
My size is sold out,
There will be no further production, so
Although it seems a little large in size,
Shimizu dives for this leather.
By the way, production of these boots will end this season.

The thoughts behind this backlash to leather,
And the story of how it becomes a product.
I asked the store where I purchased this item to tell me all about it.
“The most expensive leather ever”
That one word was enough to sink me.

Normally, prices would be raised to match the cost, but
Backlash doesn't do that kind of thing.
Like the Orice riders I purchased in the past,
Providing products according to sales price...
Tears came out (lol)

I think whether you can agree with that depends on your own experience.
In times like this, it's a serious lifelong endeavor.
If you choose that, it's a question of whether you can decide without seeing this.

Recently, there has been a lot of information disseminated regarding fashion through SNS etc.
There are many stories from people who call themselves fashion experts.
I'm not saying everything is wrong, but
If you really love clothes, don't choose based on brand or price.
What is “really good”?
At the same time, there is little information,
“Lifetime” is not just about brand and price.
In fact, there is no such thing as a Maison brand that lasts forever.
I think it's okay to have such opinions.

If I were to name names, I would be disappointed if they were not worth the price.
That is entirely up to the user to decide.
I never deny that there are many different people and different ways of thinking, but
When it comes to clothes, if you are someone who is confident enough to choose them,
These boots have made me excited for the first time in a while!

In terms of the quality of the wood, it doesn't suit me.
I love the design, but the comfort is more than a ready-made item.
It doesn't fit me.
Unfortunately, I have a slightly unique foot shape, so even if it can't be helped,
Really great brands
I think it's about ``dressing according to the brand''.
Don't criticize someone or a brand just because it doesn't suit you.
This is a problem before I like clothes.
Have you ever come across a brand that makes you think of that?

By the way, the day I went to pick up these boots was coincidentally a new order sale.
Needless to say, there is something that makes the tension rise again.
I was worried and asked for this (lol)
I have already done the decluttering, so
All that's left to do is work hard...
I will do my best for the next six months, so
Thank you very much for your support!! (lol)
