CAMURI: Revolutionizing Hat Design in Japan
The newly launched hat brand, CAMURI, has everyone talking. With a fresh perspective and a commitment to quality, this brand promises to revolutionize how we think about headwear. Operated by nakota, a well-respected name in the outdoor goods sector, and supported by Eight Branding Design, CAMURI is set to cater to all with its unique range of products. From strategic branding to logo design, every facet reflects a commitment to excellence. Products will hit the market on December 1, 2024.
The Birth of a New Brand
nakota has long been dedicated to crafting outdoor gear with high functionality and quality. Operating an online select shop focused on hats for over a decade, they listened to customer feedback regarding size mismatches and the struggles of finding flattering hats. This insight led to the creation of CAMURI—Japan's first multi-size hat brand designed to fit everyone. The name itself derives from the Japanese word "かむり (kamuri)," connoting a crown, embodying both tradition and accessibility in the world of headwear.
