Unexpected images of Nanga by the Ida brothers.
What kind of image do you have of the Nanga brand?
Masaaki:Is there a brand that hasn't collaborated? I see so many collaborations with various brands that I wonder if there is a brand that hasn't collaborated. When I look for special order items for my work, I usually find "Nanga," so I actually have a strong image of the brand as a fashion brand. When I actually try them on, I find that they are very lightweight and warm, so I know they have the right specs. And it is made in Japan.
I heard that some items are being produced in Vietnam starting this season. For example, the item you are going to wear this time is also made in Vietnam because we have to increase production in order to increase our sales channels to the world, but we can no longer cover the cost in Japan. But don't worry. The quality is not only fine, but the Japanese staff is even going to inspect the Vietnamese technology, and of course, there is a line made in Japan.
Nobuyuki:I see. I have a strong image of collaboration, too. I collaborate with good brands such as [South2West8] and [FCE], and I guess they have specifications that make you want to cook with them as a fashion item. If anything, they are also working with outdoor brands. Moreover, I have the image that you are working with both homey and modern brands without drawing any particular line, and I think you must be confident in the quality of your down.
