Letra's Unique Offerings at Lumine Tachikawa
Letra, a vibrant brand specializing in Mexican goods, is set to launch its limited-time POP UP shop at Lumine Tachikawa, starting June 16 and running until July 9. Operated by Sora of Tokyo, the brand has been taking Japan by storm with its colorful mercado bags that not only speak volumes of style but also carry a rich cultural essence from Mexico.
The Essence of Letra
Letra's foray into the Japanese market began in 2014 with its focus on the popular mercado bags—lightweight, durable, and visually striking handbags perfect for summer outings or beach trips. The brand was conceptualized by Masanori Kitajima, who was inspired by the vibrant communities and colorful streets of Mexico during his travels since the late 2000s. This passion has since blossomed into a successful business that not only sells fashionable items but also promotes social good.
Contribution to Local Communities
What sets Letra apart is its commitment to social impact. For the past several years, the brand has been working closely with producers in Mexico, ensuring that the traditional craftsmanship of mercado bags is preserved. By engaging artisans in meaningful production, Letra has also contributed to vocational training opportunities inside prisons, helping these individuals gain useful skills for their future.
Letra's journey is reflected in their sales growth, skyrocketing from 1,200 units in 2015 to an impressive projection of 35,000 units in 2024. This trajectory not only showcases the increasing popularity of mercado bags in Japan but also emphasizes Letra's mission to enhance the lives of its craftsmen.
