Native American jewelry is currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity. In response, JOURNAL STANDARD has unveiled a special collaboration model with Edison Sandy Smith, a master Navajo artisan dedicated to old-style jewelry.

He is known as an artist who works entirely by hand, without any machinery, and is highly respected among collectors. This collaboration piece is based on a perennially popular bangle, ordered with a width of approximately 1.5 cm to fit slimmer wrists common in Japan. While retaining the ruggedness and substantial feel of handmade craftsmanship, it has been finished as an item that complements any style.

The Navajo-inspired design, adorned with stamp work using chisels, is unique; no two pieces are identical. While early Native American jewelry, dating back to before the 1940s, often carried meaning in its markings, it is now generally considered decorative. Choosing a piece based on your preferred design is the best approach. Consider wearing this as a lifelong treasure, complete with the sparkle of its square-cut turquoise.

Engagement is a bag brand created by Kiyomoto, a long-established Japanese bag manufacturer, by bringing together its accumulated expertise. With a concept of "ENGAGE = promising success for modern professionals, bringing it within reach," each item pursues functionality at a high level.

The material used is 2520-denier high-density nylon, known as "Engaged Nylon." It boasts excellent water repellency and durability, effects that last semi-permanently. Its subtle sheen also makes it suitable for pairing with suits.

Naturally, the interior also features meticulous attention to detail. Pockets made of elastic material allow for quick access to items, even in uneven storage compartments. Additionally, numerous pockets for various small items are provided, enabling neat organization of essentials for business or hobbies.
