Japanese Shoes: Bespoke & RTW Super Thread

[nutcracker]



Now we're talking, though I thought there had been something like that for a while, just not for consumer in the past

I`ve seen the demo (on video), it scans an opened page in 3 sec and auto-corrects the distortion
if it works as advertised, imagine the possibilities

Just a friendly reminder for fellow expatriates in Tokyo

Miyagi Kogyo (RTW)`s sale will be over this weekend 8/11 @ WFG, Tokyo
You get 5% off retail, plus 5% off (with free membership), for a total of 10% of retail
on top of that, starting 8/17, there would be some price hikes for MK shoes (up to 10%)

At every WFG store?

Yes (3 locations to be exact). All Japanese brands (Miyagi Kogyo, Central, and Union Imperial) are on sale.

Hi can someone help to translate these announcement from WFG.
Already tried google translate, but i only get half of it

現在、様々なブランドの革小物達が店頭を彩っております。銀座店ではスペースの関係で置けないものがあったり、紀尾井町店では他2店舗で扱わない商品が見れたりもします。

実は日本でここにしかないものであったり、めずらしい革でつくられているものなどなど、目の保養にも良い品がおいてあるのですよ。

Thanks

We currently stock a variety of small leather goods.
Display space is limited at the Ginza Store (but we have more in the back), and the Kioicho store has some exclusive goods not available in the other 2 stores.

Please treat yourself with some eye candies, including goods available only in Japan, and others made from exotic leathers.

They`re not exaggerating, it`s really a tiny store.
but conveniently located.

The ones at Harajuku and Kioicho (New Otani Hotel) are much bigger.

Mizuno, Asics, Yonex are some bigger companies, but I`m not sure if they still make shoes in Japan
