[Series] Introducing the personal belongings of Isetan employees! ~My top 4 items to enjoy autumn~

---What are your preferences regarding the things you wear in your daily life and fashion?
"I pay a lot of attention to things like quality and the history of a brand. Good products come at a price, but I think they offer technology, service, and above all, appeal that justifies the cost."
"If I don't know something, I proactively research it myself, or I ask the stylists (sales staff) in the store, and I tend to be drawn to the best product in that field because I think, 'If I'm going to buy it anyway...'" (Sugita)

So, what are buyer Sugita's favorite items? In the middle of summer, let's introduce his favorite items!

1. I got sunglasses from DITA, a brand I love, and Jacques Marie Mage, a brand I've always admired.

I've been a fan of DITA, my favorite eyewear brand for over 10 years, and this is the first time I've bought a pair with clear frames. The gold metal core and hinges visible inside the clear frame give it that signature DITA flair.
This time, I changed the original clear lenses to light brown prescription lenses. They're perfect for everyday use.

Furthermore, this summer I finally got my hands on a pair of sunglasses from my dream eyewear brand JACQUES MARIE MAGE ! I love the slightly French-inspired, horizontally elongated frame that droops outwards; it looks very sophisticated.
This time, I kept the original sunglasses model image but changed to blue prescription lenses. I think this will become a treasured item in my collection!

Since I need glasses regularly, prescription sunglasses are very convenient. These days, you can choose from a wide variety of lenses, including not only colored lenses but also photochromic and polarized lenses, so I recommend trying lens replacement once you've bought your glasses.

2. I impulsively bought a bangle and ring from Five Thirty Park.

Five Thirty Park is a unisex jewelry brand directed by designer Ryunosuke Aoyagi. I impulsively bought the 18K gold version of a bangle I previously purchased, and a silver ring in the same style, which were released at their pop-up store in May!
This summer, I want to enjoy wearing impactful jewelry with T-shirts and shirts.

The jewelry section on the first floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building which I'm in charge of, features a wide range of brands, from domestic and international designer jewelry to high jewelry. I hope our customers will enjoy adding accessories like rings and bracelets to their outfits, especially during the summer when they're wearing lighter clothing.
