A promotional event was held to propose a lifestyle that considers the global environment, based on the concept of "circularity."

11.10 Wed -11.23 Tue
Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building 1F Promotion
At the Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1st floor promotion, from November 10th (Wed) to November 23rd (Tue/Holiday), a promotion will be held with the theme of "circulation," proposing a lifestyle that combines Isetan Men's commitment to "authenticity and essence" with "consuming things that are also good for society."

The product lineup is structured around three themes: "learning," "experiencing," and "incorporating" the concept of circularity. It features a wide range of items that are mindful of the natural environment, focusing on things you wear and things you use at home in your daily life.

Here are the different approaches and product lineups.

1. Learning about the cycle – Editorial team of the web media Eleminist –

From "ELEMINIST SHOP," run by the web media "ELEMINIST" which guides people to sustainable living, we introduce items that match each title, based on four carefully selected books on the theme of "circularity." The content allows you to learn from the books and practice an ethical (*) lifestyle using stylish and minimal items.
*Here, "ethical" refers to an approach that takes the global environment into consideration.
