UNBY GENERAL GOODS STORE with merry bunch

Ambai and his merry band of friends.

The UNBY GENERAL GOODS STORE is always fun to visit. One might think that the attraction of the store is the sheer volume of goods on display, but that is not the case. The charm of the store lies in its staff. Shopping online is fun. . but it's even more fun when you go to the store. I can talk about anything from items I'm interested in, to hobbies I've recently taken up, to just plain chatting. . Come to think of it, I used to go to the store frequently to talk with the familiar store staff. With those memories of the good old days in mind, shop at a real store once again.

When the weather warms up, it's time to camp!

The themes for this shoot were "camping," "fresh students," and "new workers. Since UNBY has the bag brands "Assob" and "Wyeth," the main focus was on bags. We asked the store staff of the Tokyo store, which is full of great characters, to be our models.

First, we headed to Yoyogi Park , which is within walking distance from the Tokyo branch of Ambai General Goods Store. . Even on a weekday morning, there were all kinds of people in the park. There was a leader and members of a yosakoi-like dance group practicing their dance moves, a volunteer group of elderly men, and more. . Everyone has wonderful friends.

In that respect, we are no slouch either.

Store Manager Apprentice Kino P (35 years old / right photo) is in charge of Atmosphere, also known as "MR.UNBY". Everyone on the staff loves him! We, the film crew, laughed so much that our facial muscles stiffened.

PR ManagerHe says: "A Han among Han who is more Japanese than the Japanese! He speaks Japanese so fluently that one might say he is a native Japanese speaker! (31 years old, photo left), who is in charge of the website and a super helper. He is usually in charge of the stoic department of "Ambai" at the office, so you are unlikely to see him at the store. Her gentle, enveloping aura and ever-smiling face is sure to soothe both men and women alike.

The items available at "Ambai" are a little bit austere and different. Bags are one thing, but we also want to show our attention to detail in our gear. Not only functionality, but also design is important. We have a lineup of such camping items.

This backpack is made of CORDURA® 305d fabric, a staple of the Assob brand. The backpack has a space for a PC and is comfortable to carry with cushioning material on the back and shoulder pads, etc. The back of the backpack is made of CORDURA® 305d fabric, which is a staple of Assobu's products. The back of the bag is lined with a Linden Leisurestoolset up, and you can sit down immediately anywhere. By the way, he recommends the austere color khaki for camping scenes.

3-way specifications for Boston, hand-held, and backpack, ideal for sports & travel. The original CORDURA Ballistic®, which uses 1000D warp and 840D weft 66 nylon threads, is used to create a deep fabric with just the right amount of luster. The designer says, "No other bag brand makes a backpack this big! The two-layered design allows for separate storage of dirty items and wet items, making it perfect for camping. The large capacity allows you to use it in any situation.

The appearance is FRESH!

Next, I would like to recommend a bag for "fresh students" with real student staff.

Store staff member Taro-chan (23, left) is in charge of Spanish. Although his official name is "Ryotaro," his nickname is "Taro-chan," perhaps because of his character. He is said to speak Spanish, but no one has ever heard of him. . By the way, he is graduating from college soon.

Ryoma (22, right), another store staff member, says, "He is a fresh young man of today. He is a very nice young man, which is rare these days. He loves the outdoors, so you can ask him about any of the outdoor items at Ambai! He loves the outdoors, so you can ask him about any of our outdoor items! It's time to start hiking in the mountains.

The staff members of various characters, ranging from fresh staff members to the manager class who does not seem fresh at all, will assist you in your new life. Ambai" supports a fresh new life! We have interior goods too!" (PR manager)

This backpack features the original CORDURA® fabric nylon of [assob]. The deep, uneven texture and nostalgic coloring make this a must-have for fresh students. A pass case and pass case storage pocket, which will be useful when commuting to school, and a mobile case are placed on each side (both sold separately). Another key point is the natural burnt look created by ironing on the oiled material. You can enjoy the aging process of the material, just like when you were a student.

Speaking of students, daypacks are the most popular choice for students! As adults, we tend to shy away from daypacks because they give us a student look (although we still use them), but that's where we come from, so please use them to your heart's content. This CORDURA® fabric nylon has the same finish, so if you use it a lot, it will grow up to be a good bag. It is available in five different colors. All of them are good colors! Recommended for girls.

Lastly, for newcomers to the workforce.

Nacchan (25 years old), a store staff member, came to Tokyo from Fukuoka with only her backpack (seriously). She came to visit "Ambai General Goods Store" as a customer, liked the atmosphere of the store and the staff, and immediately brought her resume. . He is a strong man who recently purchased a Harley on a 150-unit loan. Would he take out such a loan immediately after moving to Tokyo? . He even told us that he had to go to a repair shop after 2 months of riding....

The "lovable idiot at Ambai" (according to the PR person), who has only been working there for 8 months, is a very friendly person, so it would be fun to go and talk about motorcycles with him.

Assob's lineup of bags also has a business style. How about an all-black, all-together look? We recommend these bags for new members of society who are not quite ready to wear a suit but still want to wear a jacket, as well as for working people who have become accustomed to the business scene.
