Suddenly, when we talk about Japan and Germany, there are many ways to talk about them. There are many ways to talk about them, but both countries are unmatched in the quality of their "monozukuri" (craftsmanship). Both countries have a large percentage of small and medium-sized enterprises, and their cultures have been supported by products made by hand by craftsmen.
With that in mind, we bring you this collaborative news.
“Nanamica” and “A Kind of Guisewill be releasing collaborative items. The background of the collaboration is said to be a deep respect for craftsmanship and resonance of mutual values.
This collection, which incorporates the strengths of each brand, is simple, yet full of products that demonstrate their functionality only when worn. Let us introduce them in detail below.
GORE-TEX Crew Jacket ¥99,000
This shell jacket, typical of Nanamica, can be worn comfortably regardless of the occasion, and is made of two-layer GORE-TEX® fabric to prevent rain, wind, and steam. The purple hood is stored behind the collar and can be taken in or out as needed. It can also be used as a styling accent. The lining is made of Nanamica's original Coolmax® cotton in a house check specification.
Leather Jacket ¥253,000
The leather jacket is based on a vintage Bundeswehr blouson motif, reconstructed in a modern context. The leather is made of chrome-free, environmentally friendly rhubarb tanned cowhide, and is characterized by its soft and supple texture. The lining is made of NANAMICA's original Coolmax® cotton with a house check.
Derbin Shirt ¥58,300
This shirt is hand printed with a paisley pattern on thick cotton twill made in Spain. It is naturally dried in the sun to give each piece a different texture. The rich texture, soft drape, and slightly oversized silhouette are appealing.
Insulation Shirt ¥63,800
Padded shirt in indigo-dyed cotton nylon with PrimaLoft® padding for lightweight warmth. The boxy silhouette of this shirt jacket can be worn as outerwear. A piece that will change its flavor with age.
Insulation Pants ¥63,800
Indigo-dyed cotton-nylon pants with lightweight, warm-keeping PrimaLoft® padding. Wide silhouette with a structured design that eliminates side seams. Shirring design with drawcote at waist. These pants can also be enjoyed as they age.
Shoulder Bag ¥23,100
Shoulder bag made of smooth textured polyester wool cloth. It is finished in quiet textured black. The main compartment can be securely closed with the top flap and has a round pocket on the front for small items. It can be used for day trips or to store a camera or other small equipment.
Boston Bag ¥59,400
Like the shoulder bag, the Boston bag is made of polyester wool cloth. It has a zipper with a flap and a reinforced webbing belt, which makes it tough enough to use. It is also designed to fit through the handle of a carry-on bag, so it can be used as a sub-bag when traveling.
The result is a collection that not only showcases the wisdom of both craftsmen, but also the clear design typical of "A Kind of Guys" and makes meaningful use of NANAMICA's production background.
Incidentally, the collaborative label features illustrations of the German Shepherd and Shiba Inu, their respective native breeds. Also, the fashion story is cut out of a dog walker walking his dog in Tokyo. Check it out as well.
The product will go on sale on December 4 (Thu.). At the stores listed in the information and at the stores (limited) that handle the product. Don't miss out on this Japan-Germany collaboration.
