Keep it long, treasure it long.

From early spring through midsummer, MUUN's black basket bag is versatile enough to carry across the seasons. It's a basket bag, and yet its chic, understated look pairs just as easily with a spring coat.

We visit the workshop of Honpindo (Ponpindo), born from Sarakei, a katazome (Japanese stencil-dyeing) shop founded in 1867 (Keio 3), to explore the charm of katazome and the beauty of its patterns.

ZUTTOのスタッフが過去に贈ってきたギフトについて、「なぜそれを贈ったのか」という贈り主の視点をご紹介する、ギフトにまつわるストーリー。今回は引き出物を選んだスタッフのお話。スタッフが重視したのは、ギフトシーンに合った贈りものであること、そして一シーン限りの品ではなく、その後も気兼ねなく使ってもらえるもの、という点でした。

There are countless kinds of bread out there, but when it comes down to it, I still love shokupan (Japanese milk bread)—and toast most of all. Just knowing that a slice toasted crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside is waiting for me makes it easier to drag myself out of bed, even on the sleepiest of mornings. This mini column introduces a "toast plate" made for toast lovers just like that. So what's the secret behind a plate that keeps your toast crisp for longer?

Even though you’ve been taking care of them, you start noticing little pills forming here and there on your cashmere sweater, and then there’s the whole question of dry-cleaning your wool coat. You love them all, but it’s a hassle to take everything in for cleaning one by one—isn’t there some way to slow down the wear and tear at home? This is the story of a care item that answers just that question.

As the arrival of spring makes itself felt, many of us are probably longing to put away our heavy, dark-colored winter clothes and slip into something lighter and more spring-like. But from late February through March, we find ourselves at a seasonal turning point: our hearts may already be set on spring, yet the actual weather remains unsettled, with plenty of chilly days still ahead. This is the season when we need outfits that bridge the gap between how we feel and how cold it actually is. So how can we comfortably wear a spring-like light coat from now until spring truly arrives?

Stains on the trench coat inherited from my mother, moth holes in my favorite cashmere knit. These are the issues we all face with our beloved clothes that we want to pass down: dirt, holes, and damage. Aiming to be the savior for those who have given up on wearing such items, Macon&Lesquoy creates brooches and patches. Each small jewel designed to conceal stains and holes carries its own unique story.

Dryness, rough skin, poor circulation and feeling the cold—as our lives become more convenient, our bodies keep taking on damage amid the whirl of modern living. Especially from winter into spring, dryness, pollen, and the stress of new routines can leave skin especially unsettled. As a rescue item for troubles like these, we'd like to recommend this special feature on Herb Pharmacy's care items.

What can take the place of a winter sweater? And what kind of clothing can you keep wearing once spring arrives? Our suggestion is jersey fabric. Here we introduce the distinctive qualities of jersey material, along with some outfit ideas we recommend.

Winter is now in full swing. Why not take a moment to look back on the "must-have items you've relied on this winter"? With that in mind, our staff have gathered together the things they hope to keep using this year, next year, and for many years to come. Feel free to add them to your wishlist, or treat them as an investment for next winter and pick one up right now.

Beautiful and functional: the storage boxes by Kurashiki Ishō Keikakushitsu. Among all the products on ZUTTO, the wooden boxes by Kurashiki Ishō Keikakushitsu stand out for having an especially high number of "favorites" saved by our customers. So many people have taken a liking to them and added them to their favorites list—there must be a reason why. To uncover that reason, we're taking a closer look at the brand once again, along with the uses and everyday scenes where each box comes into its own.

Coats, knits, and bottoms are often subject to changing trends, but a cashmere muffler you buy in the depths of winter can still be worn with love the following winter, and the winter after that, for years to come.
