Sorghum Mini Broom

A small handy broom that is compact and easy to sweep a tabletop. Sorghum is a versatile cereal grain belonging to the grass family. This broom is lightweight and maneuverable, so it is recommended for quickly cleaning dust on a desk or in gaps that are difficult to reach with a vacuum cleaner. It also comes with a leather strap, so you can hang it on the wall.

A comfortable dolman sleeve shirt with a minimalist, easy-to-wear design by Cosmic Wonder.

Crafted from soft yet crisp linen sheeting, the fabric offers excellent breathability and a naturally textured character, making it an ideal choice for warmer seasons. The relaxed silhouette and pullover style create an effortless fit that is both comfortable and versatile.

Featuring dropped shoulders and a wide, flowing shape, the shirt drapes beautifully on the body while maintaining a clean, understated aesthetic. A neatly finished crew neckline is complemented by a subtle V-cut detail at the back neck, adding a distinctive touch. Side slits enhance ease of movement and contribute to the garment’s relaxed feel.

The natural texture of the linen lends a quiet, organic presence, while the minimalist construction and subtle Asian influence reflect ’s distinctive approach to design.

Lightweight, breathable, and timeless, this is a piece designed for everyday comfort and longevity. The colour carries a delicate lavender hue, lending the garment an elegant, softly feminine, and dreamlike quality that beautifully complements the natural texture of the linen.

Available now online and in-store.

As the seasons change, we enjoy choosing incense to reflect the mood of the season and bring a sense of calm into the home.

Our popular Rakuen coil incense by Yamadamatsu is back in stock, and Seiryo is one of our favourite fragrances for early summer.

Seiryo (清涼), meaning “clean and refreshing,” is centred on gentle sandalwood with a soft, lightly sweet aroma, reminiscent of sparkling river water flowing through the ancient city of Kyoto.

A quiet fragrance for welcoming the freshness of the season into everyday life.

Available online and in-store.
