\n\tHUT ONE, HUT TWO: It\u2019s easy to see where the ethos of Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe syncs up with Freitag, the Swiss firm that markets sturdy, practical and sustainable accessories<\/a> crafted from upcycled truck tarpaulins.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing a 2023 holiday collaboration with their Comme des Gar\u00e7ons brand, Kawakubo and Joffe have invited Freitag to set up a permanent space at Dover Street Market<\/a> Ginza, slated to open on Saturday, in parallel with a temporary installation at Dover Street Market<\/a> in London.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoth units will showcase three exclusive styles of shoppers and key-holders shaped like Dover Street Market\u2019s signature \u201chut\u201d emblem, which nods to the cash wraps at their retail emporiums that blend Comme des Gar\u00e7ons brands with cutting-edge labels.<\/p>\n

\n\tJapan<\/a> represents an important market for Freitag, which counts \u201cvery loyal, long-term\u201d clients there, according to Oliver Fischhaber, Freitag\u2019s product manager and product lead. He lauded Dover Street Market\u2019s visitors, who \u201chave a highly educated eye and a deep sense of authenticity \u2014 precisely the audience we love to engage with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFreitag operates 30 freestanding stores worldwide, four of which are in Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe permanent space at DSM Ginza draws inspiration from truck interiors, and how loads are secured for long hauls on European roads. Elements include heavy-duty floorboards, anchor rails and a variety of tension belts.<\/p>\n

\n\tFounded in Zurich in 1993 by brothers Daniel and Markus Freitag, Freitag gained fame for its messenger satchels, each piece a one-off that can be repaired for an extra-long life. Today, the brand\u2019s collection spans around 60 models including belt bags and backpacks, also incorporating salvaged car seatbelts and transforming old ski boots into cell-phone cases.<\/p>\n
