Highlighting TARASUKIN BONKERS
TARASUKIN BONKERS is celebrated for infusing everyday materials sourced from the natural surroundings of Minami Izu into appealing designs. Utilitarian objects like the nets used for mandarin orange harvesting or the ropes found at fishing ports have been transformed into unique, playful products that brighten urban settings, capturing the essence of rural life. The craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal of TARASUKIN BONKERS reflect a philosophy of careful attention to detail, bringing together functionality and charm.
Their tool tote bags, such as the KNOT bag and other offerings start at prices accessible to a wide audience. Each piece is a testament to the innovative vision of TARASUKIN BONKERS creators.

Meet the Maneki Neko - A Piece of Heritage
MANEKINEKO TOKYO, established in April 2025 in Setagaya’s famed Gotokuji Temple area, brings the tradition of the Japanese lucky cat into the modern realm. Each cat is handcrafted, with distinct colors and expressions, creating collectible art pieces that oscillate effortlessly between folk charm and contemporary aesthetics. Not only are these maneki-neko meant to be decorative, but each design carries its own meaning depending on which paw is raised: the left paw invites prosperity and good relationships, while the right brings wealth and luck.
Among their unique offerings, you can find the
Gray Maneki Neko, aligning with BASIC AND ACCENT's branding. This and many other exclusive designs will be showcased during the event.
