Salt&Pepper | A New Men's Select Shop Launches in Osaka

Salt&Pepper
A New Establishment for Men, Rooted in Tradition
New Men's Select Shop Launches in Osaka!
The new men's select shop, 'Salt&Pepper,' opens its first store on February 24th (Friday) at Osaka's Yodobashi Umeda, built around the fictional concept that 'the present is 1976.' It's a style reminiscent of 'TAKE IVY' brought to life. A second store is set to open on April 6th (Friday) at LaLaport TOKYO-BAY. The shop offers a sense of déjà vu, as if stepping back in time to a men's shop founded on Boston's Newbury Street in the 1940s.

Presenting the Latest Men's Styles, Updated for Today
From the moment you step inside, the shop's exterior and interior, facade, logo design, and in-store displays (posters, tapestries, POPs, etc.) all evoke the atmosphere of a classic American men's shop.
Furthermore, the merchandise, based on traditional styles and organized into four categories—work, military, sports, and clothing—ranges from casual wear to suits. They offer original items filtered through a lens of 'masculinity' and 'adult playfulness.'
While the original brand 'Salt&Pepper' forms the core, the lineup also includes select items that capture the zeitgeist, such as Barbour, Baracuta, Fred Perry, Ben Davis, and New Balance.
The theme for Spring/Summer 2012 is 'LAID BACK ~Relaxed Time, True Self~.' American novelist John Irving, who bridges tradition with contemporary relevance, captures the spirit of the times. Inspired by the distinctive New England landscapes and the worldview of his works, the collection expresses a comfortable American 'looseness' for both ON and OFF aspects of life.
This is the birth of a shop that proposes a high-class American wardrobe, beloved by discerning gentlemen.
To commemorate the opening of the Yodobashi Umeda and LaLaport TOKYO-BAY stores, the first 100 customers to make a purchase of ¥10,000 (excluding tax) or more will receive an original 'Salt&Pepper' shoe care set.
