Have you decided on a Christmas present for him? We asked a buyer at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Store, which stocks items that will make him incredibly happy with a tasteful item, to share some timeless gift recommendations.
For the man pursuing casual style, we recommend FARO. Located in a corner of the small leather goods section on the first floor of the store, the brand showcases Japanese craftsmanship, from the materials to the stitching. It's all about the thinness of the leather. This long wallet (¥37,800) fits comfortably in a jacket pocket and allows for easy access, thanks to leather crafted to within 1mm of the fabric, creating a refined, sleek form. Business card holders (¥15,120) and key cases (¥6,264) are also available. The green camouflage pattern, available for pre-sale at the store, is both active and elegant at first glance. The purple L-zip wallet (¥16,200) from British brand SIMPSON LONDON is also recommended as a casual yet elegant item for men. And don't forget the fountain pen, a symbol of "the refined man's refinement." A salesperson on the eighth floor of the building, which stocks items for dandy men, recommends the Pelikan Souveran M800 Green Stripe (¥52,000). This fountain pen won the Pen of the Year award in a 1997 "World Fountain Pen Popularity Poll" conducted by a German fountain pen specialist magazine. For someone who values high quality, this brand is perfect. For someone who is new to fountain pens, we recommend the Parker Sonnet Original Rack Black CT (¥20,000), known for its soft nib and ease of use when writing kanji. This elegant and well-balanced style fits comfortably in the hand.
Another entry on the same floor: Leica, a high-performance German camera, boasts sophisticated looks and a beginner-friendly series. For your first Leica, we recommend the Leica X (¥268,000), offering simple operation, impressive imaging performance, and impressive image quality. Made entirely of high-quality metal and finished with premium leather, it's ideal for snapshots and landscapes, making it a great travel companion. The most popular camera is the Leica D-LUX (¥155,000). Equipped with a high-performance, large-aperture zoom lens, it allows you to enjoy creating beautiful bokeh effects, making it a perfect choice for those with a liberal arts background.
For those who value stylish dressing, why not stop by the limited-time "Costume Accessory Collection" shop, available until December 25th as part of the men's promotion on the first floor of the building? Louis FAGLIN's cufflinks range from lapel pins, cufflinks, and tie bar vises, priced between ¥10,000 and ¥20,000. Founded in 1899, the French men's accessories brand has been making cufflinks for many well-known European brands for over a century. They make the perfect gift for a man who enjoys understated style.
