## T&G's Haute couture Design Opens Private Salon in Minami-Aoyama

Take and Give Needs (T&G; headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Kenji Iwase) has announced the opening of a private salon for its 'Haute couture Design' production team in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo.

Haute couture Design is the elite production team under T&G responsible for delivering unique, high-quality weddings for numerous domestic and international celebrities, including professional soccer player Ritsu Doan and his wife, and pop creator Asagi-nyo and her spouse.

Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, Haute couture Design was founded with the vision of creating moving opportunities that bring emotion and joy to everyone involved. Without holding its own dedicated venues, the team has continuously crafted entirely bespoke weddings, taking place at diverse locations such as the Ryogoku Kokugikan, Tokyo National Museum, vineyards, and premier traditional Japanese inns. Their high level of production capability also extends beyond weddings, including the planning and spatial staging for lifestyle events such as anniversaries and luxury brand parties.

In recent years, the team has seen an upward trend in inquiries from international high-net-worth individuals, with inquiries for fiscal year 2025 increasing by 143% year-on-year. The company aims to continue its growth by capturing inbound demand, which is projected to remain at a high level.

To accommodate the increase in both inquiries and actual implementations, a private salon exclusively for Haute couture has been opened in a quiet alleyway in Minami-Aoyama.

The interior of the salon is curated to provide a space of beauty and comfort suitable for planning one's most important day, featuring iconic pieces such as the tulip table by mid-century modern master Eero Saarinen, symbolizing the golden age of American design in the 1950s. The highest-quality sound from Bang & Olufsen fills the sophisticated private space, creating a rich and memorable atmosphere.

With this permanent salon, clients can now view the products handled by Haute couture Design at any time during their visits. The lineup of party items has been expanded to allow clients to experience and confirm the quality of elegant and original products such as vases, candles, paper items, and linens while planning their events.

Haute couture Design will continue to realize one-of-a-kind weddings that defy conventional wisdom and reflect the memories and uniqueness of each couple. The team remains committed to providing an even higher-quality wedding experience within this special private salon, which is designed with meticulous attention to privacy.
