2023/3/23 木村まさし

We will be hosting a pop-up event for tade qui (pronounced "tade-kui") from Friday, March 31st to Tuesday, April 4th.

tade qui POPUP STORE　

Location: Circles 2F Tailored

Dates: Friday, March 31st – Tuesday, April 4th

Brand: tade qui

During the event, the entire lineup of tade qui products will be available, and brand owner, designer, and maker Mr. Hosokawa will be in the shop.

At Circles, we really want to promote and showcase tade qui.

This is not only because they are excellent products, but because we were struck by Mr. Hosokawa's own passionate personality and his inquisitive approach to craftsmanship.

What is tade qui?

While I would like to explain the brand's history, it has only just begun and does not yet have a website or an online store.

The items offered are handmade in Japan by the brand owner, Mr. Hosokawa, and focus primarily on bicycle bags (for bikepacking).

Information is updated on Instagram, so please take a look.

Why does Circles carry them?

Very rarely, things seem to speak to us.

An aesthetic sense for craftsmanship, obsession, and the background of the creator who makes them.
Even though they are packed with every kind of detail, they possess a presence that never feels excessive.
The moment you use them—or rather, the moment you encounter them—they speak to us.
In fact, it even feels as though the items themselves are choosing their users.

We love "things" that are filled with people's thoughts and intentions.
These are not things that can be judged by the metric of "cost-performance."
They are not for people who base value on things that can be measured by a ruler or a scale, such as functionality or weight. They are for people who understand the truth—the things that go beyond all that.

And, people who engage in that kind of craftsmanship exist in every age and in every place.
Encounters with such people are rare, and they don't happen often, but this standard is one that Circles values most when carrying products.
We want to continue carrying such things at Circles, in any era.

In the case of tade qui, the form says it all.
These are products where the functionality is fully designed; they are sturdy and robust, yet combine that with the delicacy of the Japanese spirit.

Items to be displayed/offered

Explaining features or functionality feels trivial for these products, so I will simply post some of the model names and photos.

They are thoughtfully designed to the extreme, and their functionality is impeccable. Honestly, you won't regret buying them. In fact, I hope you buy them during this time while Mr. Hosokawa is at the shop.

Being able to shop while feeling his passion should be quite a luxurious experience.
