The brand 'Only Wan' (Location: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Kazusuke Ikeda), which supports handicrafts for beloved pets, began selling its DIY kit for easily making original collars without hesitation, even for those who are not skilled, on its official online shop from April 16, 2026. We are pleased to announce the full-scale launch of this product, which goes beyond merely selling pet supplies to offer a new experiential value: "calm and happy time spent thinking of our child."
【Background of Birth】The value of delivering "experience" rather than "things," taught by handicrafts for precious family members.
'Only Wan' was born from the personal experience of its representative, Ikeda, who handmade a collar for his beloved dog. The time spent tying paracord knot by knot, watching his dog sleep peacefully nearby, was a warm and happy moment beyond compare. Choosing and buying wonderful ready-made products that suit a beloved pet is also a truly wonderful expression of love. However, when considering "what can I do for this child next?", the time spent creating something with one's own hands can be a special expression of love in a slightly different form. Through this experience, Ikeda became convinced that "the luxurious time (experience) of calmly working with one's hands, thinking only of our child amidst a stressful daily life, has an irreplaceable value." Thus, 'Only Wan' was launched as a D2C brand that delivers the "happiness of creation time" that cannot be experienced by simply buying finished products. Although the brand name includes "Wan" (meaning dog), the collars woven with approximately 3mm paracord are so light and soft that pets forget they are wearing them, gently accompanying even cats who dislike burdens.
【Trigger for Development】Eliminating the beginner's barrier and the "time hurdle." To allow busy people to purely enjoy the creation experience in just 30 minutes.
When Ikeda first attempted handicrafts, he struggled with questions like "Which book should I read?", "How many meters of paracord do I need?", and "Where can I buy specialized fittings?" He ended up buying many unnecessary materials and tools, and wasted a lot of time on preparation. For craft beginners, these "preparation hurdles" and "taking too long to complete" are major factors that lead to frustration before they can even enjoy the "fun of creation." Therefore, 'Only Wan' developed an all-in-one DIY kit that eliminates all the troublesome preparations and anxieties about failure. An easy-to-understand illustrated guide book is included, allowing users to immerse themselves without hesitation from the moment they open the box. The only tools you need to prepare yourself, besides the kit, are scissors and a lighter, which are readily available at home or at a nearby 100-yen shop. Anyone can easily start creating from the day they feel inspired. A major appeal is also the ease of completion, allowing skilled individuals to finish in about 30 minutes, and even those unfamiliar with handicrafts in about an hour, thus removing barriers to the experience, making it easy for busy pet owners to try.
