Venue: Hankyu Umeda Main Store, 1st floor, Koto Koto Stage 12

Wearable Art: Curated Eyewear and Accessories From Across Europe

"LUNETTES du JURA"

The brand name means "glasses of Jura" in French. It selects special frames carefully crafted in small ateliers, including those in the Jura region, one of Europe's leading eyewear-producing areas. The collection can dramatically transform the impression of a face.

"Metropolitan CROSSbottle"

A multifunctional fabric that pays close attention to fiber quality and blend, proposing new ways to enjoy it: polishing, wearing, and displaying. With a double-faced design featuring a different print on each side, it goes beyond a simple lens cloth to become a new art piece that adds color to everyday life.

"DIFFUSER" An eyewear accessory brand that moves beyond the conventional idea of a tool to create value as a refined fashion item. Its latest collection blends an original design that fits modern style with high craftsmanship.

"Factory NAP"

A brand from 西佳奈, a designer and craftsperson specializing in plastic frames. The lineup includes one-of-a-kind glasses and unique accessories made from eyewear materials, filled with rich creativity and an original sense of style.

Notable Fragrances Arriving From September 30, Including a Kansai Debut

Milk Expressive, 30mL ¥15,400 / 100mL ¥29,700

"Commodity" (Kansai Debut)

A sweet, creamy, and somehow nostalgic pure-white milk. From an opening of toasted sesame to a core of cold milk and warm marshmallow, the scent settles into a lingering finish of mahogany, tonka bean, and benzoin, for a comforting start to a new day.

The Time, 75ml ¥44,000

"Thoo"

A scent for the moment of truly living your own life, felt deep within. Like a ritual filled with respect and gratitude, similar to the Japanese tea ceremony, it expresses reverence for a single moment with full attention.

Oolong Cha, 15mL ¥16,500 / 50mL ¥35,200

"Nishane"

A scent inspired by Chinese oolong tea, once carried along the Silk Road as a gift to Turkey. The moment it's poured, citrus notes of bergamot, orange, and mandarin burst forth, while musk and fig add depth and elegance to the lingering finish.
