."Watanabe Sangyo Co.. was founded in 1962, and has continued to bring British brands and culture, with its emphasis on craftsmanship, to the Japanese market.
Brooks England," a brand loved by cyclists, and "Glenroyal," which uses harness leather for its goods, are probably the best examples.
From such an honest and trustworthy company, we are pleased to announce the launch of a new brandCaledoor. has made its debut.
The key word is "rambling. . It refers to the act of simply enjoying walking, without going anywhere or having a purpose.
KALEDORE" will offer products that make rambling even more enjoyable. Let's take a look at the collection looks below.
In the production of the product, we considered the distance, time, and weather conditions of the walk. The speed and muscles to be exercised are different when walking 2 km or 10 km, and the temperature and conditions of the body change depending on whether it is sunny or rainy.
Therefore, we have prepared two types of products: "Short Ramble," designed for a few hours of rambling, and "Long Ramble," designed for a full day of long-distance rambling. The materials and functions are added and subtracted from each other, and although they do not look very different, if you use them, you will be able to feel the intent of the design.
If we talk about the design, it is basic, yet slightly loose in form, with an awareness of the mobility of the limbs. However, it is not too bulky. . It is also worth noting that there are some unique touches here and there.
And although it is a modification of a historic classic, it has a freshness that is not too reminiscent of a time period or country.
Now that we've looked at it in a nutshell, let's settle the question of why rambling now in the first place.
Back in 1850 . The English poet William Wordsworth published his autobiographical poem "Prelude" in the same year. The poem "Tintern Abbey," which contains memories of a trip to Wales, is said to have inspired people of the time to take a walking trip. Later, after the Industrial Revolution, people living in cramped urban areas moved to the countryside in search of nature, and in the 1930s, as many as 500,000 walkers toured the countryside in England.
. and nowadays we have been hit by Corona. The growing interest in outdoor leisure activities and the increase in leisure time due to changes in work styles , coincidentally, crossover with the sense of the times in the 1930s.
The first collection is the most important stage of a brand's development. Like the brand's keywords, "Kaledoor" has created products that are not greedy, unpretentious, and rough in their stance, but contain a strong sense of conviction. We look forward to your continued patronage.
