Miki Watanabe
Shinjuku Men's Merchandise Department, Men's Luxury Assistant Buyer
I joined Mitsukoshi Isetan Co., Ltd. in 2011. After working in men's bag sales and as an assistant buyer for Super Men's, I have been in charge of the specialty section of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 2nd to 4th floors) since 2015. I enjoy things that have a live feel and a sense of presence, such as watching soccer, music, and theater. I sometimes take whirlwind trips to other regions to attend matches or concerts. Searching for delicious food is also an essential part of my travels. Lately, I've been hooked on spice curry.

 

Intuitive and cherishing the brand's unique characteristics.

I'm an intuitive person who often makes impulse purchases, but I've spent a long time in a specialized area of my career, and I'm often drawn to the attention to detail, background, and unique appeal of luxury brands. Gradually accumulating items that I consider to be lifelong possessions is one of my pleasures.

BURBERRY 's "Restored Trench Coat" - A legacy carried on into the modern era.

This is a "Restored Trench Coat" from BURBERRY , which was featured at a pop-up shop on the first floor of the main building in February 2025. At the pop-up, 100 trench coats were presented, carefully sourced by BURBERRY 's archive team from suppliers and meticulously repaired and reproofed at their own factory, based on trench coats made before 1999. I was drawn to the brand's dedication and story behind its iconic trench coat, and I impulsively bought this one because of its khaki color and size, which are not available in current models. I like to wear it with the epaulets unbuttoned, reflecting on the original owner as I look at the initials on the brand tag, in a way that reflects the current BURBERRY mood.

My encounter with EN TEA began at a shop called "GEN GEN AN" that used to be in Shibuya. As an avid tea lover, I was struck by the deliciousness of their cold-brewed green tea, and at the same time, I was strongly drawn to the attention to detail, such as the beautiful packaging design. Since the shop opened at Isetan in 2023, I have been using it not only for myself but also as a gift for close friends. This "Isetan Tea" is a product I have a strong attachment to, as I had the opportunity to work with them as a gift for valued customers of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building before it was commercialized. It is a unique, elegant, and vibrant blend of green tea that expresses the colors of tartan check.
