Bon Bon Store's Umbrella Event to Brighten Rainy Days


An event featuring the popular umbrellas from "Bon Bon Store," a lifestyle accessories brand that designs umbrellas, bags, and mascots based on the concept of "What I want right now" by designer Yuko Ibe, will be held at Matsuya Ginza's 7th floor Design Gallery 1953 as part of "Creators Showcase 2015," starting Tuesday, July 7th.

Compact Sun & Rain Umbrellas Are Essential This Season


Bon Bon Store offers stylish and unique original umbrellas, including rain umbrellas made of 100% polyester woven with a high-density fabric that allows you to enjoy the sound of rain, umbrellas luxuriously made with shirt fabric from Italy's canclini, and compact 47cm sun & rain umbrellas perfect for the upcoming season.


When asked about the characteristics of her umbrella making, designer Yuko Ibe explained, "Bon Bon Store's umbrellas are distinguished by their attention to detail in materials and their use of wooden handles (chestnut, maple, oak, bamboo). I always imagine 'I wish I had an umbrella like this' to match fashion and then design them. As a small brand, I create what I want freely, without being swayed by marketing."


Loved Umbrellas Since Childhood, For No Particular Reason


"Above all, we have many ordinary-looking umbrellas that you don't often see elsewhere, with colors that lift your spirits on rainy days, African prints for intense sunlight, lace for a sheer look, and the classic linen fabric for coolness. We've also updated our popular stripes and checks, which are always desired in summer. We are a brand that stands in contrast to those that strongly emphasize being lightweight and offering 100% UV protection. My childhood love for umbrellas, for no particular reason, continues to this day," says Ibe.


At "shop MITATE," some items from Ibe's jewelry brand "iberi" will also be sold alongside Bon Bon Store's umbrellas.
