Garage Sale di Banpaku

Salah satu tempat yg utk beli barang yg terpakai dan murah kt sini adalah semasa 'garaje sale' / 'recycle fair'. Tpt yg biasa kitorg pegi adalah di Banpaku Koen (Banpaku Park). Perjalanan dengan train dari Ikeda ke Hotarugaike, kemudian ambik monorel ke Banpaku Koen. Perlu bayar untuk masuk ke Banpaku park & juga utk masuk ke dalam tempat jualan.

Banyak barangan second hand dan baru yg boleh dibeli disini. Kalau yg besar ada sampai 600 booth yg bukak. Barang utk buat souvenir pun murah & byk dijual. Mcm2 la..jam, zippo, jeans evisu, levis, mainan kanak2. Antara gambar di Banpaku...seksi la pulak awek ni. cameraman..nice job. ..he he...

Shoping di kedai Evisu Osaka

Kt sini aku cuma nk cerita pengalaman beli Evisu kt kedai di Osaka, Jepun. Biasa la bila ada duit lebih je, apa lagi..habiskan ler. Kedai ni terletak dalam 3 km je dari rumah sewa aku lah. Biasanya kitorg pegi naik beskal je..lagi senang nk parking. Kt Jepun ni kalau nk parking keta, pergh, dh la payah..nk kena bayar lak tu. Jadi nk senang, naik komuter atau densha je. Nk jimat lagi..naik beskal mcm aku..he he.

Kt kedai ni best woo..mmg kedai Evisu cawangan Osaka. Tak ada jual Jeans lain nye..Ebisu je. Yg lagi best, ada awek Jepun lawa yg keja situ. Lagi best lak..bleh ajak ambik gambar sama2 tu. Nk lagi best..bleh ajak kluar jalan2..he he. Yg ni aku tambah je. Tp awek ni sporting betul. Mungkin jarang ada foreigners yg pegi kedai tu kot. Tp sbb sebenarnya sbb dia kn keja kt situ..kena la layan je kitorg. Untuk tak mengecewakan korang, aku upload la gambar awek ni sekali kt bawah tu. Cerita pasal awek lak..ish ish.

Ok la, pasal Evisu lak. Kt sini kedai ni jual semua yg latest design je. Yg 2nd hand mmg tak ada. Yg paling murah adalah pakej kaler kamome (logo Evisu kt poket belakang seluar) yg standard. Kt poket kiri kanan warna putih, pink atau merah. Tp kedai ni special woo.. sbb kita bleh order custom made kalau nk paint lambang kamome kaler lain. Kita boleh pilih kalau nk poket kiri kaler lain, poket kanan kaler lain. Pastu nk saiz berapa cm..semua bleh buat. Kt sini mmg hand painting. Tak main lambang yg jahit mcm yg seluar evisu 'made in thailand tu'. Ni adalah salah satu kelebihan Evisu berbanding Levis sbb custome made..maknanya kita bleh pilih design ikut citarasa kita.. Kalau korang beli kt KLCC pun tak ada perkhidmatan custom hand painting nih. Hanya di Evisu Jepun sahaja..buat masa ni ler.

Beberapa gambar yg diambil kt kedai Evisu Osaka. Awek jepun yg aku citer tu..Siap piece lg.

Mana nk beli Evisu original di Malaysia

Nk cari evisu ori ni mmg susah sikit kt Msia sbb tak banyak kedai. Yg ada cuma kt KLCC dan Mid Valley sahaja dah harganya...walawei...pegi tengok la sendiri.. memang menakutkan. Tp kalau dh minat, tak kisah la berapa harga pun sbb seluar ni mmg original dari Jepun. Kelemahan nya, kt situ diorg tak buat perkhidmatan custom painting untuk lambang kt poket belakang tu.

Cuma dari segi pilihan la yg susah sikit sbb tak banyak model yg ada kt sana. Terutama kalau nk cari latest model. Kalau nk cari yg 2nd hand atau bundle punya..lagi la tak ada. Paling susah nk cari model Evis. Sbb model ni dh x dikeluarkan lagi..sbb apa, sebab kena saman ngan Levis ler..

Model vintage yg original ni mmg susah nk cari. Kt kedai bundle pun jarang ada. Kalau nk jugak kena la pegi Jepun dan beli kt sana. Kalau tak nk pegi jepun..kirim je kt aku..he he.

Sejarah Evisu

Bab sejarah ni yg lemah sket ni..kt sekolah dulu tak minat..so ambik je lah dlm wikipedia. Ringkasan nya, Evisu ni adalah seluar jeans yg dibuat di Jepun. Jadi glemer sebab ia adalah buatan tangan dan custom made. Lebih glemer lagi bila kena saman dengan Levis sbb guna nama Evis (dh nk sama ngan Levis). Lepas tu tukar ke nama Evisu dh terus meletop..

Evisu or Evisu Genes is a Japanese designer clothing company that specializes in producing premium denim wear through traditional, labor-intensive methods.
The brand was formally founded in 1991 in Osaka, Japan, by Hidehiko Yamane although the research and planning necessary to reproduce the perfect pair of vintage jeans had been going on for several years prior to this. Yamane was trained as a tailor but his love for vintage jeans and his disappointment with the mass-produced modern versions led him firstly to the vintage clothing export business and then, revolutionarily, to start putting together the elements required to reproduce vintage-style jeans. This needed the gathering together of various bits of machinery, none of which had been produced for the last 40 years, which are required to make authentic vintage jeans.
The initial production line allowed about 14 pairs of jeans a day to be produced and each of them was lovingly hand-painted with the now famous seagull logo (Kamome) by Yamane himself. Evisu (also written as Evis or Ebisu) is the name of the Japanese folk god of money who is usually portrayed with a fish and a fishing rod. His name was selected for the new venture as money and fishing are two of Yamane's five favorite things (the others being beer, women and golf - in no particular order).
Although initially Evisu was more a labour of love than a commercial venture, Evisu jeans captured the imagination of the detail-obsessed Japanese fashion crowd, spurring a revival of interest in vintage denim which has now spread across the world. In the early 90's Yamane introduced a tailoring line, followed by fishing and golf lines. In 1999, he introduced a ladies fashion line called Evisu Donna to complete the development of Evisu as a full-fashion range going far beyond a jeans brand. Evisu now has 65 shops in Japan.
In March, 2006, the company and Yamane was reported to Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office along with another firm on suspicion of tax evasion. Yamane and the two firms stand accused of concealing more than 500 million yen of income as well as evading some 160 million yen in taxes over three years.
