A firm world view proclaimed by the first directly managed store in the Kansai region.
The secret behind the popularity of Monolith's bags is the three pillars of the concept: "rationality," "functionality," and "durability. The "STANDARD," "OFFICE," and "PRO" lines are available to suit different styles and needs, and multiple sizes are offered in models such as backpacks, totes, 2-ways, and shoulders. They are designed to allow you to freely go back and forth between business and everyday use, but you can select one that best suits your lifestyle more.
The storage compartments and pockets provide ample capacity and accessibility to suit the purpose, such as a laptop to be carried with care or a card case to be taken out frequently. The more you use the bag, the more you will discover new things about it.
Since it is something that is always carried around and used as a tool, durability is important. The material used is CORDURA® BALLISTIC Hollofil AIR™, which is resistant to friction and tearing and is made lighter with hollow fiber, achieving strength and lightness at the same time. The use of a zipper that is both robust and easy to operate also allows for stress-free opening and closing. These three pillars are strongly connected by a lineup based on black, the symbolic color of "Monolith," a versatile and simple design, and an unobtrusive logo.
Monolith," which continues to attract many people, has finally opened its third new store in Umeda, Osaka. Less than three years have passed since the brand was launched. The pace of store openings is indicative of the popularity of the brand. The store is located on the second floor of Grand Front Osaka, which is home to many fashion brand stores and restaurants and attracts highly sensitive adults. The location is on the 2nd floor of "Grand Front Osaka," which is home to many fashion brand shops and restaurants and attracts a highly sophisticated adult crowd. It is a five-minute walk from Umeda Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line, and directly accessible from JR Osaka Station via the connecting deck.
As Mr. Nakamuro showed me around Grand Front Osaka, he told me that a hangar had been built in a space of about 9 tsubo (about 1.5 square meters), and my heart swelled with anticipation. When I finally arrived, I found pale, shiny steel shelves that had been built up to nearly the ceiling. Passersby and employees alike were amazed at the huge fixtures that elegantly complemented the all-black "Monolith" items.
We will talk with Mr. Nakamuro, who also directed the store design, about the Monolith Osaka, which was filled with such expectations and surprises, and get a closer look at the details that went into its design.
