Hello. This is Ishikawa from Circles Tokyo.
Now, our Tomei POP UP TOUR moves on to Vol. 3.
This time, we are featuring "Tadequi."
In Japan, there is a proverb that says, "Even a bug that eats knotweed has its own tastes."
It means that just as some bugs go out of their way to eat bitter and spicy knotweed, people's tastes vary.
There are many ways to enjoy cycling.What do you do when you ride a bike?
What do you pack in your bag?
Tadequi satisfies your niche, "enthusiast" needs.
Tadequi is a brand that creates cycling-related products for "enthusiast" cyclists.
Every beautiful product is handmade.
Mr. Hosokawa, the designer, does everything himself—from sourcing fabrics to designing and manufacturing the products—and he can be found pedaling the sewing machine in his home day and night.
I’ve met many people in my life, but I think Mr. Hosokawa stands out as a total "weirdo" (in the best way possible).
The depth of his inquiry into objects, his attention to detail in manufacturing, and his passion and feelings for the things he loves.
Having the chance to experience Mr. Hosokawa’s realistic perspective, his meticulously thought-out items, and his intensely passionate service in person is an incredibly rare opportunity.
You’ll be able to directly feel the quality of the products he creates, and you'll likely find yourself smoothly drawn into the unique charm that he personally exudes.
You definitely don't want to miss this chance to buy directly from the creator himself.
For this pop-up, we will also have fabrics available that aren't in the regular lineup.
He’s very receptive to special orders, so please feel free to consult with him.
Tadequi’s lineup features more items, fabrics, and colors than we could ever list here, so we’ll introduce just a few of them now.

It will be an experience you'll absolutely enjoy.
[Schedule]
Tokyo Dates: July 27th (Sat) – 28th (Sun)Nagoya Dates: August 10th (Sat) – 11th (Sun)
Times follow our regular business hours.
Also, Mr. Hosokawa will be joining us as a special guest for the Circles Tokyo Morning Ride that I invited everyone to earlier.
Mr. Hosokawa is a cyclist at heart.
Why not engage in some saddle talk, have a coffee break, and ask him things like, "I'd love a bag like this," or "Can you make something like this?"
I'm sure Mr. Hosokawa will listen attentively and take your ideas to heart.
Who knows, maybe your idea might even turn into a Tadequi product?
