What is Quaal from Tokyo? The full story is at the SO SHOP & HOSTEL NAKAMEGURO pop-up.

Spring is the season when new chapters begin. In other words, it’s a time when you’re likely to meet many new people. Among them, the friendships you form with those who share your interests and tastes are the ones that are likely to last the longest.

In anticipation of the arrival of such a wonderful spring, the Tokyo-based community label <Cuaeru〉's first pop-up store finally kicks off tomorrow. The venue is "SO SHOP & HOSTEL NAKAMEGURO".

“The brand name ”CUAEL“ is a portmanteau combining ”CUA“ (Central Urban Area) and ”AERU” (which means “to meet” or “to blend” in Japanese). The brand aims to serve as a hub where people who would not normally cross paths can meet, giving rise to a new movement. Rather than simply producing clothing and accessories, the brand expands the possibilities of “community” through its unique interpretation by offering products that add a subtle essence to the wearer’s individual lifestyle.

Each piece features striking designs with symbolic graphics depicting nature—such as rocks—and human figures. The relaxed, laid-back vibe of these designs is sure to be a perfect fit for the current mood.
