The feeling of Sundries

I do not incorporate a changing theme or message that guides the development of each seasonal collection; however, I am always considering how to create something that is "light and beautiful". To me this means I want to create products that can be worn every day that have a presence and ability to create some contrast in our lives.

This season's souvenir jacket(*1) is reversible, featuring a 17 momme silk satin exterior side and silk army twill inner lining. It is also insulated with a mawata fill. This piece is much chicer and more understated in comparison to your average souvenir jacket. It is also lighter and warmer. I really believe that women will be able to sense the attraction of this garment.

The word "Sundries" is embroidered on the back of this jacket. Sundries refers to everyday items and small things that may not seem very important. For example, something like your toothbrush and toothpaste...but you would never go on a trip without your toothbrush, right? So, I think that they are "small but very important things." In similar fashion, I feel as though I do not want to ever forget that light and delicate feeling that is always on my mind. It can be difficult to explain such sensory things in words or pictures, where you simply won't know until you actually try it on. Through this type of approach to detail, we hope to propose an idea for a "new form of luxury."

We often hear people tell us that "visvim is a special item", but our primary goal is to make the wearer of our products happy. If a garment just stays in your closet, it doesn't have the opportunity to bring you happiness. This is exactly why I want to encourage everyone to wear these pieces in their daily lives as much as possible. Not just for special occasions, I want people to make these products a part of everyday life. Even if things get a little soiled, I think it adds to the unique character of that garment. I myself wear WMV clothing every day and am constantly seeking out ways to improve them. To always strive to do our best to make an even better piece of casual clothing. It is my intent to make products that are more comfortable and easier to wear by taking into consideration the materials and silhouettes we decide to introduce.
