Some foreign magazines introduced us!

These days, we are soo soo happy since our stores and cards are featured by some foreign magazines such as Australia, UK, and China!

Do you know GQ (UK version), a famous men's fashion magazine?
We were thrilled that they selected us as one of "the best design stores in the world" in
October issue. Yay!

Also, Australian famous interior/design magazine, INSIDE OUT and
Chinese luxurious magazine SevenSeas introduced us as "must visit" store.

This is a cover of SevenSeas China. It is very interesting since
it is the first time to see our article in Mandarin.
We cannot read though...!
But we can guess from some Chinese characters, which Japanese also use.
On the cover, probably they say "A guide book of the gorgeous tour in Tokyo" Cool !



Very popular design blog in the U.S, "design*sponge" also introduced our new series,
#602 animal cards. Many thanks, Grace!



We believe "word-of-mouth" is very very important for us.
It would be great if you could introduce Winged Wheel to your friends :)

Arigatou!

An idea for wedding thank you notes

Today, we have a lovely sunny day here in Tokyo.
So comfy!

One of our popular cards is 631 series. As you can see from the picture, these cards have various colors with pretty flower designs.
We selected Japanese traditional colors for these.

Most of our customers like this series, and some of them make their personalized calling cards(casual business cards), thank you notes, etc.
Some couples use them as wedding invitations, too.
I think it's a cool idea!



By using this series, my close friend, Cayce ordered thank you notes for her two girls' friends in Florida and Texas, who are going to have wedding parties in September.
(September is very popular for a wedding season in Japan, too.)
As for the font of "Thank you," she selected an elegant script font, which is very matching with the pretty cards.
I'm so glad that these cards are popular among American people as well as Japanese.

Many thanks, Cayce!
