ビー玉の夏｜Summer of Glass Marbles The mountain breeze drifts through an old Japanese street, while wooden lattice windows breathe quietly in the afternoon light.

Step into a nostalgic little shop, pick up a chilled bottle of ramune, and let the cheerful pop of the glass marble bring back the carefree memories of summer. A refreshing Tiffany blue forms the base, decorated with hand-drawn polka dots for a bright, playful look. The lower panel is pieced with white slub-textured cotton, whose natural texture adds depth while creating a light, airy silhouette with a touch of rustic summer charm. The hem features pleats inspired by Japanese origami, balancing a relaxed fit with subtle shaping. Light and breathable to wear, it gently flatters the figure without feeling restrictive. The fresh color palette pairs effortlessly with jeans, wide-leg trousers, or skirts for an easy, carefree summer look. ⸻ ✦ Craftsmanship Each garment is individually hand-cut and machine-sewn by the designer. Every seam is finished with enclosed binding to eliminate exposed raw edges, creating a refined finish while enhancing durability. ✦ Our Philosophy You are a beautiful presence in this world.
