TINY GARDEN FESTIVAL, a festival event organized by "Urban Research," came to a successful conclusion again this year. The live performances and various workshops attracted a large number of people, reminding us once again that this is an event with a lot of charm rooted in the Nagano region.
In one corner of the venue, items from the 2025 fall/winter season of "EKAL," a brand developed by the select store, were unveiled. Surrounded by rich nature, Lake Tateshina is the perfect location to express the world view of "EKAL," which has its roots in "lake," not in the sea or mountains, and as usual, the event was a great success.
For those of you who were unable to attend the event, we would like to introduce some of the new items that are about to be released.
The theme for the season is "breathing of trees.
Inspired by the lakeside trees that remind us of the changing seasons, the fall/winter season will feature a wide variety of items that fully utilize the characteristics of the materials.
Particularly recommended are nylon jackets with original print patterns using URTECH, an originally developed material that boasts high durability while being lightweight, and the Ultra Thermo series tailored with URTECH, which provides comfortable warmth. Also not to be missed are items co-produced with Dickies®, TAION, and Nanga, all of which are extremely popular in the fields of work and outdoor activities.
These specially designed items, with the brand's typical, relaxed silhouette, look great even when worn on the street.
If you have already decided to attend a festival this summer, why not add some of the thoughtful items proposed by "Ekal" to your coordination options?
