Winged Wheel x Wallpaper* magazine!

Hi there, we would LOVE to share our exciting news with you!

We collaborate with the famous design magazine in the UK, "Wallpaper*"! Yay!
The wonderful project was to produce luxe invitations for their reception event at Milano Salone. Milano Salone is a famous design exhibition in Milan, Italy.

Ta-dah!



The theme of Wallpaper at the exhibition was "hand made", so for their invitation, we have selected 100% cotton paper which are made by a Japanese washi craftsman.
We also made fabulous envelope! The edge color of the envelope is painted by hand by our expert staff members.


After we shipped the paper and envelopes, the team of Wallpaper* could make the incredible invitations!! We love their design! (Especially, I love their embossing logo. Woo, so cool!)

The beautiful letterpress printing by Mr Smith's Letterpress Workshop, London

The reception was held on April 15 at the Brioni Palazzo, Milan.
Luckly, my Italian friends, Chiara and Lucio joined the event, so I will introduce some photos at the event next time!

Enjoy your lovely week :)

Sakura, sakura☆

Hello all, it's Maki from Osaka :)
How are you? It's a bit strange weather here. Still cold in spite of mid April...!

Have you ever heard the Japanese word, "sakura"? It means cherry blossoms, and is the symbolic flower in Japan. We enjoy the season of sakura in early spring.(From late March to early April). It's a typical Japanese custom, but people really love to have parties under/near the trees. (Me, too!)

Since it is mid April, the season is getting over...

(Woo, I'm already miss sakura!)
Anyway, I took a photo of sakura, Hope you can enjoy, too ;)




And, this is a photo from Rumi in Tokyo.
People are enjoying the parties. Sounds fun!


During the sakura season, we can see a lot of "sakura-pink" color all over the city. I saw many sakura themed show windows, and even foods such as sakura cake, cookies, and doughnuts at department stores. It is one of my favorite seasons.

Have a nice weekend!

DAILY CANDY!!

Last month..it was a busy busy month since we had a lot of orders from foreign countries. (Thank you for all customers!)
We are so happy our cards are loved by many foreign people...!

One of the reasons we got so many orders is that the famous stylish website in the US, "DAILY CANDY" featured our new calling cards! Yes!! Please check our article here.

It is so interesting that the most popular design of the cards is "wisteria."





I personally love camellia, and it is the second popular design.
You can check the all designs here.

Many many Arigatou to you all!
