Our participation in the "Adult Colors Exhibition" at Tokyu Plaza Shibuya, which ran for three days from May 2nd, was a success!

Thank you to everyone who came and to the customers who placed orders!!!

To everyone who came

"Where is the store?"

You asked this question, but currently DROPS does not have any physical stores.

Mainly online sales.

Until this exhibition, I hadn't realized that stores, exhibitions, etc., were in such high demand from customers... I'm sorry.

Currently, some of the exhibits that can be viewed directly are:

Hankyu Umeda Main Store in Osaka @hankyu_souq

The mask case was made by Maika from Kunitachi @maika_life_jp

Please come and visit us if you are in the area.

We have many wonderful products.

At the exhibition
It was very refreshing to be able to show you all around in person like this, and I was very happy to be able to talk to you all.

thank you very much.

We would also like to thank the staff at Tokyu Plaza Shibuya and Creema!

Thank you for everything!

I had a great time talking to all the artists and I'm grateful for the opportunity to meet them.

Now I can finally take a break and rest~

I would like to say that.

Huh (゜o゜;

Nnnnnnn.

"Koikeya x Creema Works Contest"

There was also an application...

The weather is much nicer today!
It's sunny and early summer! Odeka 🥳🤩🧑🏻‍🦱

...crispy and crispy,
I will create a work...
(I'll take a day off after I'm done, so it's okay👍)

First of all, what is the concept of the bag?

"It can be worn for adult occasions such as at a traditional Japanese restaurant. It is a playful, humorous, high-quality bag for adults."

First, go to "Icon Symbol"

The taste of Koikeya's vegetables is rich in each piece of "Potato Feeling"

Thick potato chips with a nice texture.

I'll try to incorporate it.

I plan to create the overall shape using the gentle curves of a potato chip.

For potato chips,

The leather used is Chevre Mysore, a soft, pale yellow (foin) high-quality French goat leather that I introduced in the photo of the hardware last time.

As a goat, it has the ability to walk on cliffs and other obstacles without a second thought, and its skin has a sparse grained texture.

This texture looks good for potato chips. I cut it into potato chip shapes by hand.

It is not currently for sale and is a completely unique piece, so I will cut it, thin it, sew and paint it by hand.

Since it is not produced in batches, it is a little difficult to sell it at the usual price range of Drops,

The patterns and cutting are all done by hand.

When I cut the pale yellow foin, the light gave it a nice potato chip look.

I want to bite into it, but it's not tasty at all.
I recommend you to stop. It doesn't taste like mutton or lamb. It will upset your stomach.

I'm going to cut this into four pieces.
Also, I wanted to incorporate truffles, so I attached some rugged leather like truffles to the back of the potato chip.

Unlike DROPS' standard pebbled shrink, this leather is made from French cowhide called Togo, which has a more plump and pebbled pattern.

This product is also used by some of France's leading brands.

This is how the potato chips and the main bodies are cut.

Then, we cut out calf leather called Swift, which is a color similar to the white of rock salt, to make the body, flap, and shoulder straps, and assemble it by firmly fitting the core material into place.

I also wanted to use the red of the packaging as an accent, so I applied it to the back of the cover.

This is French calfskin, and the grain has been pressed with something like an iron, giving it a slight shine. The base has a natural texture. This is Dauphine, which is also used by Italian fashion houses.

The back of the shoulder strap and the interior are decorated with a dark brown truffle-like texture.
Smooth Japanese Box Calf

The main interior leather is made of Japanese goat leather with gold foil, and the pockets are made of beige soft goat leather.

♪There's one 〇〇 in your pocket♪

This is how you can hide something in the pocket or on the shoulder strap.

Then, each of these richly flavored materials is assembled one by one, including the interior, which is covered in full leather, and then painted, polished, and painted again to complete the finish.
