The time before giving.
Hello.
This is Ishibashi from cliché.
There is only one month left in the year.
but of all the months in the year, I like December the most.
There isn’t any particular reason,
The year-end atmosphere grows more intense as the 31st approachesI really do like it.
And speaking of December, there is Christmas.
Thinking that this year, too, it would surely be an ordinary weekday for me as usual,
When I looked back at last year’s blog introducing Christmas gifts,
「I’ll do my best so that next year I can exchange gifts with someone. Haha.That’s how I brought it to a close.
...A year really does go by in the blink of an eye.
So, this year as well, we’ll be helping you choose your gifts.
Let’s start with leather accessories, a classic Christmas gift.
Precisely because it is a classic, your sense of style is put to the test, and the abundance of choices can make it hard to decide.
But if you choose cantáte on such an occasion, you can give it with confidence.
The quality of the leather, and its straightforward ease of use when touched,
And a character that deepens over time.
Despite its simplicity, its presence gently emerges the moment you hold it.
When giving a gift, I hope that each time it is used, it brings back the feelings of that day,
cantáte’s leather accessories feel like they properly fulfill their purpose.

A quiet presence, with a buckle that emits a subtle shine.
It blends effortlessly with any outfit and is a belt you find yourself reaching for every day before you know it.
with the front designed to be sleek and slim, and the back substantially wider so it stays in place.
The balance is just right, not only in appearance but also in terms of usability,
it has become one I can truly call “my everyday companion.”
In fact, ever since I started using this belt,
The occasions to wear my other belts have decreased dramatically. Haha.
It is a tool you can use without overthinking, yet one that somehow helps you carry yourself a little straighter.

For me, it ranks among the things I would be happiest to receive
The item I have kept at the top of my list is a wallet.
When it comes to wallets, it can be difficult to know when to replace one yourself.
Even while thinking, “I’m starting to want a new one...”
I keep putting it off, thinking, “I can still use it.”
Before I knew it, my wallet had already entered its fifth year.
A compact size that slips neatly into your pocket.
An easy-to-open L-shaped zip.
It also properly meets the practical needs that are “impossible to ignore” in everyday life.
and the leather used is Veau Barénia, said to be the king of smooth leather.
You can also enjoy the time it takes for it to become comfortable in your hand,
This is a wallet that grows more dear to you the more you use it.

We also recommend the bag made from the same leather as the wallet.
A wallet, glasses case, or lip balm for the coming season, for example,
and its compact size is just right for carrying a few everyday essentials.
I sometimes even carry it empty, since it can also be used like an accessory,
It will serve you well not only now, but all year round.
It has a matte texture at first, but the more you use it, the more a lustrous sheen begins to emerge.
Starting from the day you received it as a gift,
Please let it grow little by little along with your memories.

When it comes to winter, neckwear is essential after all.
The cashmere used is carefully combed to remove the coarse hairs,
only the inner fleece remaining after thoroughly removing dirt and the outer fleece from the remaining fibers.
From there, it is further selected and made luxuriously using only the soft, supple down fibers,
The finest100% cashmere scarfIt is.
the finishing process uses Frisson finishing, repeatedly milling and brushing the fabric.
By processing it to incorporate air deep into the fibers,

a plain scarf that is basic and always a reliable choice.
But it goes beyond that, with a large size that combines practicality with a gentle presence,
and its appeal lies in the luxurious cashmere with an exquisite feel against the skin.
The price is special too,
Once you hold it, the special quality of this scarf should be immediately apparent.

The classic choice is a scarf, but there are too many varieties to choose from,
You may also worry, “I probably already own something similar.”
In times like that, we recommend the i’m here snood.

Men generally carry fewer belongings.
Everything barely fits in the pockets, but once they're stuffed, it suddenly becomes stressful, doesn't it?
and especially on days when you buy a bottle of water, it ends up being handheld only.
That's exactly why a compact bag of this size is easy to use every day,
It's also perfect as a gift.
The filling uses SHILKLOF (silk wadding), made by turning silk fibers directly into sheet form.
Layering mesh over it creates soft volumeanddepthis created,
It has an atmosphere that seems to embody the feeling of winter.
Bags can be used regardless of the season,
If you’re giving a Christmas gift, something with this kind of wintery atmosphere
It would make me happy.

For people who wear suits for work, a tie would also be a great choice.
You don’t often get the chance to buy a good tie for yourself,
Since it’s “just for work, anything will do,” we tend to compromise.
But simply changing one tie
your usual suit style a much more refined air.
Atto Vannucci is finished entirely by hand by artisans, which gives it
This tie has a soft appearance and an elegant, composed atmosphere.
Precisely because suit styles are difficult to vary,

It lifts my mood, and I feel like it might even help me work a little more efficiently.

Finally, accessories, a classic gift choice.
AVM jewelry has simple designs, yet
but it has a presence that catches the eye somehow.
It’s by no means flashy,
A refined presence that is quiet, yet undeniably there.
Surely, it is because the designer creates each one individually
Made by hand over timea beauty that can only come from that.
Just by looking at the small engraving on the inside of the ring,
The time and the maker’s dedication poured into a single ring
but I feel that comes across naturally.
I’d really like to introduce them all,
There are simply too many styles… If I kept writing, the sun would probably set,
so please take a look at the online store and past blog posts!
AVM jewelry is made to order,
but it takes about one month from ordering to delivery.
It won’t arrive in time for Christmas itself,
but in that case, I think going on a Christmas date to choose something together sounds fun too.
There’s still a little time until Christmas,
It’s also around the time when people start thinking about choosing presents.
Opportunities to give someone a gift throughout the year
only for birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas.
That’s exactly why choosing something while imagining the recipient’s delighted expression is something I do
It’s difficult, but it’s also so much fun, after all.
And this year, I’m thinking I might give myself a present too,
I suddenly remembered what I said last year.
“I’ll do my best so that next year I can exchange presents with someone!! Haha”
…doesn't time pass far too quickly? Haha
Thinking that,
Wishing everyone another wonderful Christmas this year.
