CHRISTMAS 2014 "STYLE AND GIFT FOR MEN" Part 2


Giving & Receiving "Stories": Christmas 2014 (1)



Hankyu Men's December's monthly theme is "Noble Museum." Until December 25 (Thursday), the entire Hankyu Men's Tokyo building transforms into a "museum" of Christmas gifts. This year's key point for selecting Christmas gifts is to create a "story" that can be shared between the giver and receiver. We hope to share the future stories that emerge from the "things" chosen with the giver in mind, handed over with warm hearts. After all, the future is full of new possibilities.

"Speaking of Christmas, it has to be matching accessories."

My recommendation for this year's Christmas gifts is the Japanese accessory brand "GARDEL" (http://gardel.jp/). We started carrying this brand at Hankyu Men's Tokyo about six months ago. GARDEL is a coined word combining Spanish, meaning 'Hanging Garden, Garden of Light.' They specialize in intricate craftsmanship.

Their silver accessories, in particular, are reasonably priced, easy to wear for both business and casual styles, and are popular for their beautiful appearance. Many designs are delicate and appealing to women, so you can choose your favorite motifs as a couple to commemorate this year.

"Cute appearance is also a key point when choosing gifts."

The "Style Making Club" is a membership service where Hankyu Men's Tokyo's exclusive stylists carefully propose coordinated outfits in response to members' requests to "find a style that suits them."

From the underwear and socks section, we recommend the "fluffy" jacket from "Comfort Index." This brand is popular for its stylish comfort wear, focusing on material and cutting. This jacket, made from warm felt material and filled with padding, is both fashionable and exceptionally warm. It's comfortable to wear not only as loungewear but also as an "one-mile wear."

This outerwear is suitable for relaxed occasions and comes in three colors. A vest (12,960 yen) is also available. It makes a wonderful gift for someone close to you, such as a husband, boyfriend, or father.

"If you want to give something truly good, give something that lasts."

Imagine a smart scene where a slim, beautifully colored wallet or card case emerges from a suit pocket.This is the image evoked by the brand "FARO," which is meticulously focused on materials, cutting, and slimness.

This card case is also carefully crafted by Japanese artisans. Its slimness allows it to fit neatly into an inner jacket pocket without bulk, yet it holds about 30 cards. The thin leather is bonded inside and out, making it very durable, which is another attractive feature. Its elegant appearance means many women are drawn to its design and often choose adventurous colors like red or yellow, which are featured here.
Card cases 30,240 yen each (FARO | Hankyu Men's Tokyo 1F, Bags & Small Leather Goods)

Those who favor "Gucci" fragrances have a modern and youthful impression. The "Gucci by Gucci Made to Measure Eau de Toilette" selected here evokes a sophisticated and elegant man befitting Hankyu Men's customers, while the "Gucci by Gucci Premiere Eau de Parfum" is inspired by an actress walking the red carpet. Please consider them as a pair for when you escort a wonderful woman.

Hankyu Men's Tokyo will host a limited-time "Fragrance Bar" from December 13 (Saturday) to December 25 (Thursday). From December 17 (Wednesday), a campaign offering free engraving of letters on the caps of selected items purchased at the venue, along with other special services, will be held. Customers purchasing Gucci products will receive an original pouch (limited to 30 pieces). *Please inquire with staff regarding eligible products.

"Colombo," which we've carried since this season, is an Italian manufacturer of the finest fabrics, renowned for its supremely soft cashmere and beautiful, vibrant colors. At "Begg," we also have a wide selection of cute check patterns made from a blend of angora and wool.

We also offer a rich variety of gloves, including "Sermoneta" with its fine texture and beautiful colors, the Japanese brand "Altaclasse" with its lovely color combinations, and "Partenopea" in a striking orange that serves as a stylish accent. In particular, our selection of gloves compatible with touch screens like smartphones is extensive. Our original Hankyu gloves, available in S, M, and L finger lengths with a 1cm pitch, are very popular.

"Mastering impressive coordination with ties and pocket squares."

I believe navy suits are standard for men, but instead of a tie in the same color, how about pairing a sax blue shirt with a green one like this Luigi Borrelli? Also, the Fairfax pocket square features a popular paisley pattern and can be enjoyed on both sides, making it a versatile piece. Pocket squares, which can easily change your look not only with suits but also with a jacket and no tie, are definitely recommended for everyday use.

Ties are a classic gift for men, and we have a rich selection of trending reds and other colors, from imported brands to our own Hankyu original "The Tie," with a wide variety of patterns. The selection, including basic navy series, is easy for women to choose from.
Ties 21,600 yen (Luigi Borrelli), Pocket squares 5,940 yen (Fairfax | Hankyu Men's Tokyo B1F, Men's Accessories)
