About 'Wpc. Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall Store'
Under the theme 'Umbrellas are fashion.', Wpc. proposes umbrellas not just as 'daily necessities' but as 'fashion items' to express oneself, while maintaining high functionality and design. Following stores in Umeda/Shinsaibashi (Osaka) and Ginza (Tokyo), we will open our 4th directly managed store on the 5th floor of Takashimaya Gate Tower Mall in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture.
