Free Spirit has been interacting with more than 300 Japanese craftsmen, we have been pursuing something about good products, what is real, where balance between price and value is. We are searching for the answer in the original.
The real definition that free spirits prescribes is that there are principals in craftsmen, raising the person's dignity, good balance between price and value.
What is a good product ?
What does "good" mean? We are defining what is perfect for your needs. It will become a good product that meets various needs.
Our brand "Lemma" has been produced for those who are new to holding leather accessories. The"Lemma" products uses the real leather and are good products. They are all made by a skilled Japanese craftsman yet are priced reasonable price as gifts.

This award is giving to a brand which leads to improve an image of Kobe city.
Lemma is a brand with three concepts.
1. From Kobe to the world
2. Gift for man
3. High quality leather yet low cost products executed by skilled artisan in Kobe
Lemma is only available at Free Spirits stores yet. But soon it will be ready to be purchased online as well.
]]>Leather items go with autumn color coordinated fashion easily. The fall fashion tends to pile up the classic neutrals like black, gray, brown and camel.
Using these neutrals as a background for a “pop” of a eye catching leather bag. Now we have variety of colors in selection of leather bags at our Free Spirits Torwest.

It took more than 3 hours to complete but we all were satisfied with our original painted key case at the end. During the work shop, was filled with joyful atmosphere. The reputation of the work shop is great so that we are already working on another brand to be featured and hold a work shop in April.
]]>The brand vision of "moca" is to produce the items to be confronted with a life with a bicycle naturally. The moca is particular about making their products in Japan by their trustful craftsmen.
We appreciate that the work shop is sold out, no more seats available. we will try to hold more events constantly.
]]>The leather tray comes in multiple color, making it an ideal travel accessory for the stylish and sophisticated traveler.

But In Japan Valentine’s Day is celebrated in a very unique style. It is the women who present gifts to men.
There is a strong tradition of women giving chocolates to men on Valentines Day. There are two types of chocolates, “Giri-choco” (obligation chocolate), and “Honmei-choco”. Giri-choco is meant to be for friends, colleagues, bosses, and close male friends. “Giri” means obligation hence this Giri-choco has no romance involved. On the other hand, Honmei-choco is given to a boyfriend, lover, or husband with true love. Now a days "Giri-choco" is renamed to "Tomo-choco"means friendship. So it is popular to exchange chocolates among female friends. So it is becoming more like a chocolate festival than a romantic day. For those who prefer to enjoy exchanging the thoughtful gifts with your loved ones, Free Spirits have the gift recommendation. Happy Valentine !
