Japan Ontour

For a long time we’ve been looking out to find the right people and stores to introduce our brand to the Japanese market and this year we’ve put some effort in making things happen over there. Last tradeshow season our friends from Sixpack introduced us to their Japanese connection; Haka from Blues Inc. distribution and Raddlounge and Rendez Vous stores in Tokyo…we’re happy and proud to announce they are our Japanese distributors since a few months! “Raddlounge is a boutique in Tokyo launched in 2003 handling selected clothing from the various countries in the world such as France, Italy, U.K., Australia, U.S.A and The Netherlands. The brands which RADD LOUNGE carries are closely attached to music,street culture and the art.”

They focus on distributing European and American brands to the Japanese market and are the distributors for ie. Trainerspotter, Super Sunglasses, Sixpack, Schwipe, Homeroom, Complete Technique and others. Last month they showed Ontour and all these brands at the Union tradeshow in Tokyo…so things are setting off there! Check out their blog to see what’s happening on that side of the world and how they push Ontour…

Here our products in their Raddlounge store:

Almost at the same time we started working with Blues Inc. / Raddlounge, our German friends from DRMTM hooked us up with the buying team from Nano Universe, who happened to be in Dusseldorf for a shoes tradeshow and were looking for some new European brands…Wouter and I set up a meeting to show our new collections and now they are also one of the first Japanese stores to carry Ontour.

Nano Universe is a company that runs several stores across Japan mixing high-end fashion with streetwear brands, besides having their own inhouse label…sometimes things just work out the way you want them to be;)

But hey, still a long way to go…as one of our former production partners once said: ‘You’ve got to dream high…but step by step.”

That’s enough wisdom just before the weekend. Enjoy!
