Since January 1st we also deliver to Switzerland and Norway, and still UK! Items without VAT, customs duties and taxes to be handled by customer.
Japanese people have been doing this for a long time.
Creating items that are gentle to people, sturdy, long lasting and ingenious.
We excavate these "great things" of Japan, and try to recreate them.
We want to share the power of Japanese style with the world.
"We want people from around the world to wear our garments happily."
Based on this simple philosophy, by creating "items, people, and company"
that are globally appreciated, we contribute to the artisans and craftspeople who make our items, our customers and our communities.
This is what 45rpm aspires to.
