Whether you're riding a bike or hiking in the mountains.
Whether you're wandering on your travels or commuting through the city.
A feeling that drifts between "activity" and "daily life."
We are excited to host a POP UP STORE for TAKAO MOUNTAIN BOOK, a brand that naturally embodies that very atmosphere.
This time, we are holding a long-awaited Tokyo-Nagoya POP UP TOUR over two consecutive weeks at Circles and Circles Tokyo.
Tokyo-Nagoya POP UP TOUR Vol.16
TAKAO MOUNTAIN BOOK POP UP STORE【Nagoya】6/6 (Sat) – 6/7 (Sun) / 10:00~19:00 @Circles
【Tokyo】6/13 (Sat) – 6/14 (Sun) / 11:00~20:00 @Circles TOKYO
While rooted in UL (Ultralight) hiking culture, TAKAO MOUNTAIN BOOK offers products that cross the boundaries between urban life, cycling, travel, and the everyday, rather than just being outdoor gear.
For this POP UP, we will focus on their iconic Hip Bags and Messenger Bags.
Additionally, for the first time, TAKAO MOUNTAIN BOOK will offer special models crafted using ULTRA 200X.
While offering a high level of lightness, durability, and waterproofing, they never feel overly technical.
That exquisite sense of balance naturally resonates with our own approach, where we enjoy blurring the lines between riding and daily life.
When using them, you get the feeling not of "carrying a bag," but of it "naturally fitting your body."
Whether during a ride, on your commute, while bike-packing, on a coffee ride, or just moving through the city.
It is the kind of item that seamlessly connects all those moments.
Of course, in addition to the Hip and Messenger bags, we will also feature other popular TAKAO MOUNTAIN BOOK items like the Knapsack, Short Cruising Bag, and Trip bag, which are perfect for travel and daily movement.
Furthermore, the new Utility Beret will also be available in the store.
Much like the bags, these products allow you to move naturally between riding and daily life; we believe you will truly appreciate their charm once you try them on.
This POP UP is for a limited time only.
For the regular lineup, in-stock items will be available for immediate purchase, while items not in stock can be ordered. Please allow about 4 months for custom orders.
Additionally, the two special models (the Hip Bag and Messenger Bag) made with ULTRA 200X will be made-to-order only. As the fabric used is currently quite rare, we expect to limit the quantity available.
Mr. Yamamoto, the designer and creator of TAKAO MOUNTAIN BOOK, will be at the store during the POP UP.
This is a rare opportunity to handle the products while speaking directly with the maker about material selection, the production background, and real-world usage.
We hope you will experience not just the bags themselves, but also the ideas and the atmosphere that lie behind them.
