Introducing 'RespeYell': The New Lifestyle Catalog by Pal System Co-op
Pal System Co-op, headquartered in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, is launching a new lifestyle and kitchen products catalog named 'RespeYell' on December 15, 2023. This innovative publication merges the existing lifestyle catalog 'Pal Kurasu' and the kitchen products catalog 'Kitchen Plus' into a single dynamic platform. Each week, 'RespeYell' will feature 24 pages filled with thoughtfully selected lifestyle products designed to inspire respect for craftsmanship and support the well-being of consumers.
Why 'RespeYell'?
The name 'RespeYell' combines the respect we owe the artisans and manufacturers who engage in production and the encouragement we wish to extend to consumers facing daily challenges in their lives. By implementing this catalog, Pal System aims to honor those who continue producing goods domestically amidst rising production costs and labor shortages, while addressing the shifting landscape where manufacturing has increasingly moved overseas.
A Celebration of Craftsmanship
'At Pal System, we believe in the joy of discovering something new,' states the cooperative in their catalog introduction. The pages of 'RespeYell' will delve into the production process, spotlighting Japan's artisans and their skills, cultural contributions, and dedication to their craft. The catalog will be an intimate collaboration between producers and users, showcasing products developed through their feedback. From seasonal items to timeless classics, the broad array of products is poised to enrich consumers' lives.
Engaging Consumers with Innovative Solutions
The catalog will feature a range of items aimed at solving various lifestyle challenges faced by consumers. 'RespeYell' intends to enhance the shopping experience by offering both convenience and the thrill of selection, ensuring every flip of the page brings an exciting discovery. With a diverse range of products, Pal System hopes to meet the varied needs of its users with an increased number of items that provide real solutions.
Commitment to Sustainability
Pal System is dedicated to proposing products that balance functionality, enjoyment, and environmental mindfulness. Through the establishment of their own 'Household Products Handling Standards,' the cooperative guarantees quality and safety in its offerings. The development of lifestyle products is guided by 'six core principles' that aim to achieve sustainable production and consumption in collaboration with both producers and consumers.
