This Italian designer made it big in Japan. I was trying to meet a discount threshold on Niman Marcus website and that's how I found you'll be zoned in. For this week's video, I researched the brand before dissecting its classic clutch. I learned that this eclectic Italian designer, when it de-flipo, became a huge hit in Japan in the late 90s. He was even portrayed as a Japanese comic character in 2013. The brand has 30 stores in Japan versus 3 in Italy. I want to say that Japanese folks know their leather. During my last trip to Taiwan, I found 10 more Japanese brands with very similar leather and design styles. Now, I know that my leather taste aligns perfectly with Japanese market. In a brilliant way, instead of competing in the capital of artisan letters in Tuscany, his brand found success far from home. The full video is on my YouTube channel for you to enjoy. Until next time, stay leather-tank.
