If you’re looking for culture in the Tokyo area, you must see the new National Art Center in Tokyo. It’s also a great place if you’re looking for the ultimate gift to bring home after visiting Japan. “Souvenir from Tokyo” in the basement of the the National Art Center in Tokyo is a souvenir shop with a difference. Wonderful selection of items from top designers and craftsmen from Japan and around the world. This couple of culture aficionados dropped by and checked out the collection! DiCesare Designs umbrellas and parasols are available at SFT all year round.
Every year, Matsuya Ginza Department Store has Japan’s biggest umbrella show. It’s called the The “100 Umbrella Show” 松屋銀座 GINZAの百傘会. There’s nothing like it outside of Japan. The department store even hands hundreds of umbrellas in the air over the exhibition space in a special installation. A must see umbrella event.
Cocca is a really charming shop in Daikanyama that makes their own fabric for use in clothing, accessories, interior good and numerous other items. The uniqueness of the designs and the quality of the fabric makes for really great items. That’s what excited me about working with the poeple at Cocca on a series of Rhythm Pumpkin umbrellas. Here’s a shot of the items in the Cocca showroom.
Cibone is one of Japan’s foremost design and interior shops. It is an enticing place to discover the latest and most fashionable interior items. Cibone is currently selling a special selection of Parashell parasols.
When I first started DiCesare Designs, we only had one parasol design (the Parashell). Then I made another (the Kabocha) Pumpkin Parasol and from that a Women’s umbrella was made (the Rhythm) Pumpkin Umbrella. Recently, we have come out with a Men’s umbrella called the GRANDE Pumpkin Umbrella. It is similar to the Rhythm in style but larger and stronger with a more robust handle. Recently TEMPS magazine did a story on it and interviewed me about the design.
The show for the latest collection of rain umbrellas and parasols by DiCesare Designs, “Creator’s Room”, held at Matsuya Ginza has concluded. It was a great exhibition! I had the pleasure of meeting some truly fascinating guests!
This is my favorite Parashell parasol. I didn’t like it much when it first came out, but I’ve grown to like it more and more. I thought it might be a bit too formal, but after taking pictures with Sandra, I realized it goes well with casual outfits too.
The idea of a pumpkin umbrella is incredibly cute and playful. A pumpkin parasol is a sun umbrella inspired by the shape of a pumpkin.
Grande Men’s Pumpkin Umbrella arrives at The Lobby in Hankyuu Men’s Osaka. A bookstore and cafe for those who love fashion, art, design, and music.
