Good People Visiting, Mark Cho and Simon Crompton

23th May, Mark Cho, co-Founder of The Armoury, co-Owner of Drake’s and Simon Crompton, Founder of Permanent Style came to our Ginza store and talked about new Hong Kong projects (we’ll announce that shortly) and got a interviews.
Thank you very much indeed for coming, Mark, Simon and Emi-San. 

Everyone was very startled when saw and heard that our bespoke alteration services and Japanese “Onaoshi 
(Altetation in Japanese)” culture but I believe that very important thing and contribute to reduce “Clothing Waste” and to protection of the environment.
I hope the “Onaoshi” concept will spread to the world like “Mottainai” and I’ll do it.

我々のお直し技術や日本人の「お直し文化」は外国の方はみなさん驚かれますが、私は、捨てられていく洋服を減らし、環境を守るという意味でも、とても重要なことだと思っています。
「お直し文化」が「もったいない」と同じように世界に広まることを期待していますし、広めて行きます。
