Oblada 2025 SPRING COLLECTION
We've been preparing lots of fun things for Oblada's Spring 2025 exhibition!
As always, I get nervous before presenting at an exhibition.
I've been preparing these items for the past six months, wondering if they would come in handy if you had them in your wardrobe, if they would make your daily style more enjoyable, and if you would be happy to have them.
Starting today, I will be introducing what I have been discussing in these three columns.
Episode 1 UP September 7th
We'd like to introduce the story behind the creation of the finally completed Oblada accessories.
Episode 2 September 8th 10:00 AM UP
"How to choose your outerwear and bag, which is important in spring"
I will write about my own philosophy on outerwear.
Episode 3 September 9th 10:00 AM UP
"New denim and pants"
Bottoms are the most important wardrobe piece for Oblada, so this is essential.
This is the finale.
Now, to the main topic!
"Accessories that give an elegant finish to denim styles."
I have been receiving requests from many of you to make accessories to use in the styling of your visuals.
I wanted to make it right away, but first I started by looking for a partner craftsman who would make it with all his heart. What was important to me was "someone who would do the repair properly." There are many people who can make things well, but I was looking for someone who would take the repair seriously.
It took a long time, but I finally discovered Kofu, Yamanashi!
(Kofu is just over an hour from Shinjuku, so it feels like a short trip and is fun.)
I'm digressing from the main topic, but the factories, fabric stores, and craftsmen who help us make Oblada are all very kind people.
When I started CINCH, one of the things I decided was,
There is a saying that goes, "I only work with people who I can empathize with."
It's important to us to create products only with people who are willing to think with us about not just making things, but also whether they will make our fans happy.
Well, I've strayed quite a bit from the topic, so let's get back to the main topic.
At Oblada, we have finally met an artisan who can create a new category of "accessories" and have finally gotten started!
We were also shown around the factory and saw the work being done.
And this is the completed accessory collection!
First up is a freshwater pearl necklace and earrings.
This is now a must-have accessory for our style!
We select pearl beads between 7.5mm and 8mm in size, with a perfect balance for casual, easy-to-use wear.
It is made to a length that is perfect for casual sweatshirts.
Next up is the chain necklace, which was also highly requested.
The silver 925 chain is available in two colors: silver and 18k gold-plated.
We researched the length to find one that looks cute when layered with a pearl necklace, and also looks cute when worn on its own as a chain!
Even just a chain necklace
Because this chain necklace is so simple, the width of the chain varies in 0.1mm increments, and there are many different shapes of chains. So this was a never-ending journey of material search, which could be called a microcosm.
I explored chains so much that I got confused and ended up coming across this chain!
It's not flashy, but it's sparkly and really cute, so I can confidently recommend it! For those who are looking for the right answer to the countless chain necklaces out there, we at Oblada have finally completed something that we can proudly recommend to you: This is it! It's perfect for your style!
I know you're saying you can't choose between silver and gold, but rest assured, buy both colors. This is a must-have item, and you won't regret it!
And here is a new idea I'd like to recommend: key chains.
If you wear it with your regular officer pants, it will instantly change the atmosphere and become an accent for your styling. The stainless steel chain is 18k gold plated.
This is a double stainless steel chain with silver coating.
This chain is also elegant and makes a great accent piece.
I think this is an item that women aren't accustomed to wearing, but it looks really cool when you try it on, so I definitely recommend you give it a try.
This is a necklace that looks like a pearl, with a silver ball on a chain. I would recommend this to people who already have a pearl necklace. The silver ball is hollow, so it is very light and easy to wear.
It has a classy yet casual atmosphere and is highly recommended.
First, Oblada started making accessories by selecting carefully selected items.
I would be very happy if you could pick up a copy.
