A Columbia shoulder bag I found at a thrift store

Columbia shoulder bag

I found this Columbia shoulder bag at a secondhand clothing store. I loved the muted military-inspired color scheme with a subtle street feel. It opens wide, making it easy to put things in and take them out, and its casual, casual feel is also appealing.

I always find myself reaching for it while commuting to work or doing activities on my days off. I always keep an eye out for Columbia items at second-hand shops, and if I find a good one, I buy it.

BLUE LUG Micro Wallet

BLUE LUG micro wallet

This micro wallet from the cycling shop BLUE LUG is small enough to hold cards, bills, and even coins. I started using one after admiring the minimalist wallets of friends overseas.

From everyday use to travel, you no longer need to use different wallets depending on the situation, and the great thing about this wallet is that you can take it with you outdoors as well.

SANYO video camera

SANYO video camera

This gun grip-style video camera was released in 2009. While people used to pursue high image quality, nowadays I actually love this slightly rough and tasteful low image quality. It's also attractive because it can quickly take both videos and still images, and is small and lightweight.

I also like the shape and coloring of the phone, which is reminiscent of the Heisei era's "flip phone," and it often appears in both personal and professional photo shoots.

<COLUMBIA TOKYO FLAGSHIP> limited edition umbrella

<COLUMBIA TOKYO FLAGSHIP> limited edition umbrella

This item is available exclusively at the newly opened COLUMBIA TOKYO FLAGSHIP in June. Equipped with Omni-Shade UV protection, it can be used as both a parasol and an umbrella.

It's especially useful on days when the sun is so strong that a cap or hat just won't protect you. I recently made my "parasol debut" and it was more comfortable than I expected.
