Price change of stickers

We regret to announce that, due to a high exchange rate of the Yen
we are forced to raise the prices of stickers, effective October 1, 2011.  

$2.85 stickers go $3.25
$3.25 stickers go $3.50


We believe that our new prices are still the lowest price in US and 

competitive in the market despite this modest price increase. 

We do appreciate your continued association and support.



DEPA-CHIKA

I've been falling in love with DEPA-CHIKA, which is
the basement delicatessen section of department stores in Japan, for a long while.

【DEPA-CHIKA= The abbreviated form of "department" in Japanese-English
+
CHIKA refers "basement floor" in Japanese.】

Once I enter DEPA-CHIKA, I can't avoid purchasing since it is always a tresury of treats.

For me, to take pretty bento-styled dishes for my dinner there is must, and
I buy some desserts with meals at least a third of my visit. 
I would be able to find what I want even though I don't exactly know what I feel like eating.

And on top of that, I can immediately pop into upstairs boutiques 
to check new arrivals out after getting treats.....

What I have not worn ...

 All of us are excited coming next season to think what we will wear for. We think to challenge to be new style that we have never tried. However, there are couples of things that will never do individually

To me, 

never worn down jacket, H&M, and Uniqlo,someway somehow.

never worn all black unless in need.

never worn this season's hi-brands (usually make them sleep until next year)

never worn same brand from head to toe.


Everybody has their own rules for fashion. Someone wear only black. Someone doesn't wear red.
About Glamour has pretty unique selection of clothing. We would like you to try new style or different style in order to show your different faces, which is one of our pleasure.

It is a good opportunity for you and us to break the rules now.
I won't,though.

Have a great day!!!

Masaki Matsushima


He was one of the Hero in fashion field in middle 90' in Japan. If  Masaki has been Nirvana ,Comme would have been Guns and Roses.We have never worn Comme because no one listened Guns and Roses at the time, do they? Comme was for the bourgeoisie,old people who could not have changed their fashion from 80' or Commenista.

Time passed, Comme is more popular than ever all over the world , but Masaki is no more.....

In Music field, a finish is not a finish. Music is still going on and touching someone`s heart. Music never dies if it deserves to be
In fashion field, however, a finish is a finish. Even though it deserves to be, we have to wait for many years to be come to the surface from the bottom of the sea.

Won`t it be long??

We had at least either Masaki or Gaultier men`s long pleats skirt.
