They can be used seasonlessly, and the button specifications allow for diverse styling arrangements. Being unisex, they are also perfect as gifts.
Furthermore, in the apparel line, a 'Frill Blouse' that gorgeously colors the area around the face, and an 'A-line Long Skirt' boldly featuring kimono fabric at the waist will make their debut.
