Since the products have scratches and stains, we are offering them as "outlet items" at a more affordable price than usual.
This is a limited edition item available exclusively at our official online store and Higashi Nihonbashi store, so please consider purchasing one.
Outlet products at prices significantly lower than usual
Koshu-ori fabric is woven on a very rare, narrow loom, with a shuttle carrying the weft thread passing back and forth from right to left and left to right, taking a long time to weave.
Because the cloth is woven in an environment that changes depending on the temperature and humidity of the day, if even one of the hundreds of threads goes bad, it will remain as a scratch.
Even if the scratch is barely noticeable, if it does not meet the acceptance criteria, it will be discarded.
We wondered if we could reuse these items and deliver them to our customers as environmentally friendly upcycled products, and that's how these umbrellas were created.
Although we are selling them at a significantly lower price than usual, the manufacturing process remains the same, with craftsmen painstakingly crafting each item.
A 50cm long umbrella that can be used by both adults and children.
The popular "Aoi" series of ladies' umbrellas is made by weaving two-color yarn dyed with a chambray weave, giving it a jewel beetle-like luster that changes color depending on the angle.
It is lightweight and luxurious, and the stylish short stripe pattern woven into the edges adds an accent, giving it a stylish look without being too simple.
This time, we combined a 50cm long rib with a short handle to create a cute, short-sized umbrella that can be used in both rain and shine.
The total length is 72 cm, so it can be used by women as well as children with a height of around 120 cm or more.
A UV-cut umbrella for rain or shine
The fabric of "Aoi" is water-repellent and water-resistant.
It also has UV protection (ultraviolet ray protection) treatment.
In addition to its full functionality as an umbrella,
This is a rain and shine umbrella that can also be used as a parasol.
The UV protection and shading rates vary slightly depending on the color, but all colors have a UV protection rate of over 95%.
