“Gentle standard items that embrace everyday life,
bring smiles to everyone.”


Fumiko Sakuhara is an interior stylist who works primarily on magazines, advertisements, and catalogs. We asked Sakuhara, who is highly trusted by various brands including Margaret Howell, to select items from Margaret Howell Household Goods that she would recommend as gifts.

“The word 'standard' suits Margaret Howell's selections. And 'cherished' fits perfectly too. These are items that become your own with use, transcending generations and genders, allowing for a lifelong companionship. When giving a gift, contemplating the recipient's lifestyle and personality to choose the perfect item can be both a delightful challenge and, in a way, a joyful process. It's akin to thinking about someone with affection, much like in a romance, for a significant period. Surely, the time spent in that contemplation itself becomes a wonderful gift. Margaret Howell's gentle standard items, which embrace everyday life, bring smiles to everyone. Why not choose a special piece for that someone?

Fumiko Sakuhara


After assisting Michiko Iwatate, she became independent in 1996. She works primarily on styling for magazines, advertisements, and catalogs. This year, in March, she was involved in the publication of the book 'Access to TooLs' with the magazine 'HugE' and held an event at Shinjuku Isetan. In May, she presented 'mountain morning,' an installation themed around mountain mornings, with the cooperation of 20 photographers.



Staff Recommendations for 'For Children': What Makes Them Special?





Among Margaret Howell's offerings, the children's line is quietly popular. It features items that fulfill the wish to let young children experience quality from an early age.

The duffle coat and cashmere scarf introduced here are items that the staff involved with Margaret Howell For Children confidently recommend.

“The duffle coat is made by the British supplier 'London Tradition.' Although 'London Tradition' is a relatively young supplier established in 2000, its directly managed factory in London specializes in manufacturing duffle coats and peacoats, making it a special facility. They also sell under the brand name 'London Tradition' in select shops in Japan. For this duffle coat, we've also used duffle fabric from the British supplier 'MOON' for the material.”

The duffle coat is available in two sizes: 110 and 130.
