Featured Products by Blooming Nakanishi


At the PASS THE BATON MARKET, Blooming Nakanishi will present various products from its handkerchief-specialist brand, “CLASSICS the Small Luxury.” A key highlight will be the “re-edit” series, which takes handkerchiefs with minor flaws in their fabric that would typically be discarded and transforms them into stylish items that can be repurposed and cherished. Available products include book covers, pouches, and tissue cases—all designed with sustainability in mind.

Additionally, the brand is excited to showcase unique collaborative items created in partnership with the necktie specialty store “giraffe.” The classic handkerchief has been reimagined into elegant neckties, presenting a soft, natural texture that distinguishes them from traditional silk ties. Alongside these, a limited edition butterfly tie clip will also be available, aimed at bringing a new level of freedom and expression to fashion.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship


Blooming Nakanishi has a rich history dating back over 140 years, beginning in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, where it first offered Western goods. With a commitment to its legacy, the company has concentrated on producing exquisite textile items, from handkerchiefs to table linens, directly correlating with Japan’s evolving fashion and lifestyle trends. Their products can be found concurrently in department stores, specialty retail sites, and through their own branded outlets.

By revitalizing old fabrics and bringing a fresh perspective to their craft, Blooming Nakanishi is not only remaining relevant in a fast-paced market but also promoting the idea of sustainability and thoughtful consumption.
