Calypso Rose, the designer of the Clippy London (www.clippykitlondon.co.uk) came to Japan on 2nd July with her new Clippy COVER GIRL make up clutch bags and tote bags made of eco friendly and biodegradable materials. The originality of these products makes them very "kawaii" - cute and lovely.
UKTI Japan’s Fashion team assisted Clippy by arranging a reception (see left) at the exclusive Vulcanize London (http://www.vulcanize-lon.com) store located in fashionable Aoyama, surrounded by many other British luxury brands. The media guests enjoyed talking with Calypso, who used some Japanese words which she had picked up on this, her second visit to Japan.
Vulcanize London's ultra-stylish regular clientele were tempted by the eye-catching and customisable bags and are already blogging about them. See http://ameblo.jp/maiko-de. It's great to see British fashion making waves here.
