MONOLITH SACOCHE STANDARD SS

This compact sacoche has all the features I wanted. The shoulder strap has a buckle, so I can put it on and take it off while wearing a jacket, and the magnetic pocket on the front makes it easy to quickly take out my smartphone. It also has a surprising number of compartments, so I find it useful in a variety of situations.

MINIMALIGHTPLAY WALLET

〈MINIMALIGHT〉 PLAY WALLET

This wallet has become a part of my body. It's so thin you wouldn't believe it's stuffed to the brim with medical cards and cards. The tag string makes it easy to grab it from a backpack full of small items.

YACHTdummy

〈YACHT〉 dummy

This piece of interior design was created to allow you to enjoy music without being distracted by your smartphone. By placing your smartphone on a metal stand and placing a porcelain dummy cover over it, the sound reverberates, creating an analog texture. I also use it when I want to concentrate on work.

Sun Barrier 100 Folding Parasol

I've always wanted a Sun Barrier 100 parasol. It's a compact, two-fold type. The handle is simple and compact, so I knew this was the one to buy. It's well-made and completely blocks out light. I keep it in my backpack and use it every day in the summer.
