DUFA watches that carry on the spirit of the Bauhaus: sturdy, unpretentious pieces true to German craftsmanship.
DUFA (Dufa) is the brand of a long-established watchmaker dating back to 1864. Its watchmaking carries on the philosophy of "functionalism and rationalism" championed by the Bauhaus, the comprehensive art school that once existed in Germany and continues to influence architecture and design to this day. These are watches that let you feel a deep respect for solid, unpretentious craftsmanship—simple in form, yet with design that becomes function.
Ways to use Kurashiki canvas multi-cases for every scene. Their slim profile, which slips easily into the gaps of your bag, is part of the appeal.
It's not something you need every day, but on days when you visit the hospital, or on payday when you go to update your bankbook and make transfers, or whenever you need to carry more cards than usual—how do you all manage that? This time, we'd like to introduce a multi-case from Kurashiki Hanpu (canvas). As the name suggests, it's a slim case that can be used for all sorts of purposes, and its appeal lies in how easy it is to carry around.
# Umbrella Research: Enjoying the Sunshine with a Parasol
The days when the sunlight starts to feel strong on your skin are here. When you go out, an umbrella becomes essential, but instead of simply "blocking" the sun, why not think of it as a way to "enjoy" the sunlight?
A parasol isn't just a tool for protecting yourself from UV rays and heat—it can also become a stylish accent that adds a touch of color to your outfit. Depending on the fabric and design you choose, the same summer light can look completely different, and the walk itself can become more enjoyable.
In this feature, we introduce parasols carefully selected with both function and design in mind, so you can find one that suits your everyday life.
An umbrella is both an everyday necessity and a fashion item. Parasols and sun-and-rain umbrellas are items that many people find difficult to choose. Learn about their functions and effects, and find the perfect parasol for you.
Just popping out for a bit. A pocket bag that won't spoil your outfit. ~ARTS&CRAFTS [Special Order] HORSE LEATHER WAIST POUCH~
ZUTTO's proposal for a "pocket bag" is a lightweight, sturdy bag that won't strain your shoulders, made for carrying just the bare essentials—almost like going out empty-handed. It works as a substitute pocket for clothes that don't have any of their own.
Comparing summer white T-shirts. They may look alike, but each is subtly different—so which one is right for you?
白Tシャツ, an essential piece for summer style. Clean and crisp, it's the kind of item you can wear with a settled, easy feeling. Nothing forced, no reaching beyond yourself—just a piece that lets you be who you are. Even among classic white tees that look similar at a glance, subtle differences in length, neckline design, and fabric thickness can make a real difference in the overall impression. Why not take this opportunity to find your white tee for this summer?
# Comparing How Two People Feel Wearing Them — TEXTURE WE MADE Selvedge Straight Jeans Edition
This is our "Two People Compare" series, where we introduce how different people experience using the same item. This time, the star of the show is a pair of domestically made jeans from TEXTURE WE MADE (Texture We Made), a brand based in Kojima, Okayama Prefecture—the "sacred ground" of denim—that continues to craft denim pants and jeans using traditional techniques while refusing to be bound by convention.
# How to Make Time for Yourself: Quiet Evening Moments Spent with Small Lights and Gentle Scents
Two items I'd recommend for resetting yourself within the same everyday space of your home are "light" and "scent." Used well, they can transform both the atmosphere and the flow of time, making it easy to create a moment to slow down and face yourself.
At-home work outfits are best when they "look put-together but are actually relaxed and comfortable." It's also a great chance to try adventurous fashion choices you can only get away with at home.
I imagine many of you are still working from home, a situation that began unexpectedly and has simply continued on. If you used to commute to the office in a suit, you may be wondering what exactly you should wear now that you're working at home. Loungewear feels too relaxed, but it's not quite the same as putting on a shirt either. So what kind of clothing helps you shift into "work mode" while staying at home? We decided to ask ZUTTO staff members who have long experience working remotely for their answers.

The coin case made by the Italian brand Il Bussetto features a seamless design with no visible stitching, combining stylish looks with functional construction. It's also a popular choice as a gift.

Bold, colorful costume jewelry pairs beautifully with washed linen, delicate lace, and crisp cotton fabrics. At prices that make it easy to build a collection, it lets you create a striking, memorable outfit.
Kitchen mats beloved throughout Sweden. Scandinavian textiles that bring both function and style to your interior.
These days, with more time spent in the kitchen, hunger has a way of striking without mercy—even when we're not really in the mood to cook. At times like that, it's often our favorite things that help nudge our mood in a more positive direction. Today we'd like to introduce a kitchen mat that ZUTTO staff themselves use and love. It may be "just" a mat, but a good mat makes all the difference. Let's take a closer look at an item that combines both function and style as an interior piece.

A staff member who has been enjoying the ichiori gauze blanket we're introducing this time was so impressed with how comfortable it feels to use that she's decided to share her review of it. She says it's especially recommended for those who tend to sweat easily.
What Kind of Canvas Develops Character with Use? A Guide to Caring for Canvas Bags.
This time, we're focusing on the care of "canvas bags," a staple among bags. "White seems like it would get dirty easily," "Before I knew it, it had gotten stained"... knowing how to care for your bag in moments like these should put your mind at ease. Stains and dirt, looked at another way, can be the starting point for character and charm. Once you understand canvas fabric and make a habit of "cleaning it when it gets dirty," you can use your canvas bag with confidence for years to come.
