On October 20 (Saturday), a workshop for creating original photo albums
will be held
The "Ie-Love-Zoku's Things Project" began with the desire to convey the importance of family to more people through objects centered on the concept of "family." The project focuses on three main pillars: "objects that evoke family bonds," "objects passed down through generations," and "objects to gift to loved ones," driving the development of original products and the selection of certified "Ie-Love-Zoku" products.
A photo album that can be freely customized, allowing you to cherish memories with your family. It includes a scrapbook function for storing mementos like tickets, letters, and maps from your travels, with options for cover customization and adding more photos.
