" Tells Market " had its grand opening on September 9, 2022 .

We at shoeface are also selling items .

 

" Tells market " is

We define ethics as something that should be passed on to future generations.
"Tells Market" is a market that gathers all the items that "should be passed down to the future 100 years from now," valuing the passion of the makers, transparency of materials and processes, coexistence with the Earth, and a culture full of life (from the official tellsmarket website).

The products and services they handle are all highly transparent and environmentally friendly.

I am very grateful that you delivered it so carefully.

We do have the opportunity to sell our products at pop-ups and other locations away from us, but due to a lack of staff we are unable to send them to the site, and given the current situation, there is a reluctance to actually serve customers, so we find it difficult to convey the true essence of these shoelaces.

We are trying to create pages on our official online shop that convey these thoughts and essences, but whether people actually read them is another matter (although it is a given that we need to make an effort to make people want to read them).

These days, I feel more strongly than ever that "communicating" is both very difficult and very important.

(So, I suddenly updated my blog for the first time in over a year.)

I want to spread the word even more! That's what I'm thinking now.

Returning to Tells Market, they are doing some very interesting things.

When you shop, you earn points, which can be used effectively within the market and for related services just like regular points, but the interesting part comes after that.

I think there are quite a few points that expire without you being careful. (In fact, I have forgotten about the existence of basic points. The other day, one of my family members noticed that 1,000 yen worth of points from a gas station or something had disappeared more than six months after the points expired.)

This initiative aims to turn those expired points into forests!

Expired points will automatically be returned as "forest seedlings" to organizations working to solve global issues.

I have no regrets because I've forgotten about it, but I'm grateful that I'm unconsciously doing something for the Earth.

Of course, even if you use points, they can only be used for ethical purposes.

Please use it without any worries, and even with pride.

That's the tells market.

I'm really looking forward to seeing even more progress in the future.

We also offer products other than those listed on our official online shop!

These are items that can only be purchased at Tells.

I would be very happy if you could find your favorite in this one-of-a-kind experience.

Also, I registered the product while I was quarantined at home after contracting COVID-19 and battling a splitting headache.

It's a very memorable experience, so be sure to check it out lol

Products available include scarves, kitenge, kimonos, and even Kurume Kasuri!

(The photo is part of the scarf series.)

Our sister brand, OANDE, is also on display.

Like shoeface, this is a tells exclusive item that is not listed on the official website , so please take a look.

Make sure you earn points!
