GILT GROUPE - Japan

GILT GROUPE is fairly new in Japan but quite popular in the US esp on east coast.

FB page is here -> http://www.facebook.com/GiltGroupeJP

It is a luxury brand outlet online shopping site - Gucci, Prada, to Ed Hardy to many other brands at great price.

Nothing new, right? Brand, Outlet, and Online Shopping...etc etc. 

Well, they are not quite the same because it is invitation basis only and turn over rate is one week ( one brand only sold for one week or less ) and most importantly, items are at great discounts. So they became quite succesful.

I saw a TV clip few years ago when GILT GROUPE just came to Japan - they had first class stylist actually walking into the warehouse of these luxury brand name stores and pick the last seasons or buy overstocked items at great price.

Another TV clip I saw was showing typical housewife sitting in front of PC to place order as soon as the brand goes on sale at 21:00 PM. Yes, lots of items are sold in few seconds !

They expanded from the initial fashion outlet line, they now have jewelry, lingere, housewares, some even restaurant tickets! Of course at amazing discounts.

Let me show you what was on sale this week 

Ed Hardy Lingere and Swimwear ( unfortunately all sold out right away )

Bikini 27,300 JPY -> 13,600 JPY !

Cotton Stretch Bra & Boy Shirts 

12,400 JPY -> 6,200 JPY

These are just few ! 

Galliano is on 7/8, Francesco Biasia on 7/5, POKO PANO on 7/8 and more !

It is invitation only shopping experience so please email us if you wanna see the GILT GROUPE JAPAN !

Pocari Sweat, Aquarious, Dakara !

If you know what these are, you know that summer is here !

Pocari Sweat is a mild-tasting, relatively light, non-carbonated sweet beverage and is advertised as an "ion supply drink." So is Aquarious and Dakara, this time of the year, people buy them in a case to stock at home. It is great when you play sports, or hot summer. Kinda like Japanese version of Gatorade, but tastes better.

What many overseas people don't know that it comes in different form nowadays - not only traditional PET bottle in vaious sizes, but also comes in powdered form that you can dissolve in water or jelly form that you drink from squeezable bottle.

You can see Pocari Sweat item line up from here

http://pocarisweat.jp/products/index.html

It tastes great and great for summer !

You can buy in powder which is light to ship international, or jelly form that I personally like.

You can buy in bulk through our Shopping Mall or Personal Shopping Service!

New Style Origami

Origami, according to wikipedia, 

Origami (折り紙^?, from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper"; kami changes to gami due to rendaku) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latest and was popularized outside Japan in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.

It's an art from simple paper.

Now comes in a very modern design that will be a perfect fit for folding petit gift box, or letter, or anything you like.

It's only 315 JPY (about 3 USD) for 15 papers.

Comes in variety of design.

Available at http://www.midori-store.net/SHOP/5301/55145/list.html

Made in Japan traditional art craft, simple yet sophisticated art form.

First Blog after the Disaster in Japan

3/11/2011 became the day that we have never seen, not only to the people in Japan, but perhaps for everybody else in the world.

Earthquake, Tsunami, and the nuclear plant disaster.

How bad could it get?

Reported more than ten thousands dead, and still ten thousands reported missing.

More than twice the number of that earthquake in Kobe in 1995.

We know at least a few who lost their loved ones or place to live.

Our heart aches every time we see the news.

But we have to move forward.

Get the Japanese economy going so that we can indirectly support the people in need.

Japan to Door will continue promoting the product from Japan.

TSUBAKI from SHISEIDO

SHISEIDO haircare brand TSUBAKI

When it launched, people were skeptical how it could be successful since they spent few million dollars (the highest advertisement cost ever on a single brand) to hire top Japanese models and actress to promote their brand. Not just one models, but 12 ! 

I remember reading an article about the brand manager telling the media that it could be a mega hit or miss that could damage company's name.

Well, it became a top selling brand within Shiseido. 

TSUBAKI with top models and actress, it became so successful that they keep launching new lines.

TSUBAKI is a name of flower that's found everywhere in Japan and the oil of TSUBAKI has been used as lubricant for hundreds of years in Japan.

Red Tsubaki is the very first line and white tsubaki next.

See the entire line up of TSUBAKI form official website

Of course, all MADE IN JAPAN

Authentic Kimono from Japan

Kimono - Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men, and children (wikipedia) are beautiful to look at. But honestly, it is a pain to wear (my personal opinion) and you will be surprised to know that majority of Japanese women (esp younger generation) do not know how to wear kimono properly. 

Yet, it represents history and beauty of Japan and variety of kimonos and accessories are sold online just like other apparel. Price really varies depending on the brand and quality, just like other apparel. There are kimono that's under 100 USD or over 100,000 USD. The same is said for Obi (band) where you may be able to find under 100 USD and some may go over 100 grand.

Here is one type Houbongi with Tango Chirimen

66,100 JPY (about 670 USD)

Obi band

44,900 JPY (about 450 USD)

There are many kimono-like wear circulating on overseas, but if you are looking for real, authentic, Japanese kimono, the best way is to get it direct from Japan.

Here is one of the site selling kimono http://www.kimonoichiba.com/index.html

Fortunately I've learned kimono for few years, so I can give you my personal advice and comments, if u like =)
