Our allies, ALL YOURS, are running a project titled “24 Months Consecutive Crowdfunding Challenge!” as part of their “Recruiting Accomplices for 24 Months” initiative, which involves releasing new products via crowdfunding for two straight years.
The second project, which wrapped up recently, reportedly reached the highest total funding amount in domestic history within the apparel category.
It is truly wonderful that they gathered 718 accomplices (backers), and as partners who create things together under RAL By Deeper’s Wear, we are incredibly proud.
However, since this is a 24-month—meaning two consecutive years—project, it doesn’t end here; the crowdfunding for the next new product is about to begin. The next campaign starts at 12:00 on Monday, September 4th. Therefore, we will be hosting an event at Circles over the weekend leading up to it, from tomorrow, September 1st, through the 3rd.
The following message is from the Life-Spec Evangelist, Mr. Kimura.
1. Super Advance Crowdfunding Fitting Session
Yes, it’s a new initiative where you can check out the products before the project even starts!
Plus, this is the first crowdfunding fitting session in the Nagoya area!
(Since we are currently creating the content), I can't reveal the details just yet... but I will share a few images.
For more details, Kimura will explain everything carefully at the fitting venue!
This item is my personal favorite so far!
In the outdoor context, it’s like a natural material “post-fleece.”
In the fashion context, it’s like a super lightweight “post-melton wool.”
For those who got what I mean by that—
And for those who have no idea what I’m talking about!
We look forward to seeing you there.
I promise, you won’t regret this product.
②Yumin’s Special RAL by DEEPER’S WEAR
This is Yumi Kawabe, a.k.a. Yumin.
She is our production manager, repair intake lead, handmade production staff, and the idol of ALL YOURS.
Here is one of her specialties.
Her skill for creating handmade products that aren’t in our catalog.
This skirt was made by her using the fabric from our FAST PASS BOX SHIRTS.
It’s lovely, isn't it? I want to turn it into a product.
When I mentioned that, Yumin made an offer to me, saying there was something she wanted to do at this Circles event.
She said, “I want to make a long-sleeve shirt with this. I think the customers at Circles would like it.”
And the fabric is... this.
RAL by DEEPER’S WEAR FASTPASS ACTIVE SHIRTS
The plaid pattern of this fabric is an original for our collaboration series with Circles,
“RAL by DEEPER’S WEAR”.
We only had short sleeves in the lineup this season, but...
For those who have become addicted to RAL by DEEPER’S, we will be accepting orders for a limited quantity of long-sleeve versions.
Since Yumin will be sewing each piece herself, we are limiting the orders to 5 shirts.
Kawabe will be working on the sample on the 3rd floor of Circles during the event.
Since this product doesn't exist in the world yet, it’s a shame I can't show you a photo, but it will absolutely be a wonderful item.
Would you like to watch the production process and discuss ordering it with her?
Product: FAST PASS ACTIVE SHIRTS LONG SLEEVE
Sizes: Anticipating sizes 3, 4, and 5.
(Since it’s handmade, I think we can make adjustments. Please feel free to ask.)
Price: ¥15,000 (excluding tax)
Quantity: First 5 customers
This is a very limited offer. Which means it’s as rare as the prize cycling caps that Inocchi from Welldone made for us during our previous “#shirtslife” campaign. Those who have one might already know, but the breathability is incredible, so I honestly think long sleeves are really great for riding or hiking. (I want one too...)
We’ll be visiting Circles with content that you can only get at this ultra-rare event, so we really look forward to seeing you there!
Right! Thank you, Mr. Kimura!
So, we also have the Sanpo’s alcohol stove workshop and Ultra Lunch tasting session this weekend, so please bring your friends and come join us!
