The future ahead, walking with cantáte.
Hello!
Thank you, as always, for taking the time to read.
Nice to meet you.
I’m Tomioka from cliché.
Once again, I’m Ryota Tomioka (冨岡 遼大／とみおか りょうた).
This is my first blog post, so let me briefly introduce myself.
I’m 29 years old and from Funabashi, Chiba.
At my previous job, I worked at an apparel shop for about eight years, moving around the country between Shizuoka, Aichi, Hyogo, Tokyo, Aomori, Shimane, and then Hyogo again before I knew it.
It was a truly blessed eight years, meeting so many customers in so many different places, and I think I was very fortunate.
Through that connection, I’ve now started working at cliché.
There is a proper reason I changed jobs, but I’ll save that story for another time.
I’ve been working on the shop floor since last week’s 27SS order event, so some of you may have already spoken with me.
Once again, I look forward to working with you.
Now that the 27SS order event has ended, 26AW is finally getting underway.
cantáte’s 26AW collection will be available in-store from this Saturday, the 18th.
Today, I’d like to introduce some of them.

“Washed Linen Denim Tuck Trousers”
COL : INDIGO
SIZE : 44 , 46 , 48
¥88,000 TAX IN
The Linen Denim Chore Blouson and Trousers.
The blouson is a piece you can throw on with a feel somewhere perfectly between a jacket and a shirt.
They’re easy and light to wear, yet still have a strong presence, making them the kind of pieces you’ll find yourself reaching for without thinking.
The trousers strike a balance that feels somehow light despite their wide silhouette.
Combined with the light, airy character unique to linen denim, the trousers have a substantial width while still wearing cleanly.
Of course, you can wear it as a set, but each piece also works well on its own.
It’s a versatile piece that you can enjoy for a long time.

“Essential S/S Tee”
SIZE : 44 , 46 , 48 , 50
¥27,500 TAX IN
“First of all, I want you to try it on.”
That was my first thought about this T-shirt.
It’s a piece that Matsushima-san described by saying, “When I first put it on, I couldn’t help but let out a sound.”
It isn’t flashy.
But once you put it on, its quality really comes through.
A T-shirt that naturally blends into the wearer’s style and everyday life.
<cantáte>
“WORLD IS YOURS Tee (Block Letter)”
SIZE : 44 , 46 , 48 , 50
¥33,000 TAX IN
A proper T-shirt finished with a crack-effect print.
Printed on the front is the phrase “The World Is Yours”, spoken in the film ‘Scarface’.
It also has the feel of a hip-hop group logo, which is something I personally really love about it.
<cantáte>
“WORLD IS YOURS Tee (Cartoon Letter)”
SIZE : 44 , 46 , 48 , 50
¥33,000 TAX IN
While using the same graphic as “WORLD IS YOURS Tee (Block Letter)”, this piece has a distinctly different atmosphere.
The front and back feature different print treatments, so as you wear it in and wash it repeatedly, you can enjoy the distinct changes each one develops.
The joy of breaking it in is another part of this T-shirt’s appeal.
Before you know it, you’ll find yourself reaching for it more often, and naturally growing attached to it.
When it was released the other day, it was available only in size 50, but thank you for waiting.
Sizes 44, 46, and 48 have also been newly added.
Matsushima has written a blog post, so please take a look.

"Essential Heavy S/S Tee"
SIZE : 44 , 46 , 48 , 50
¥29,700 TAX IN
By giving it a little extra weight, this piece pursues the reassuring feel of a “proper T-shirt.”
It isn’t simply heavy; once you put it on, it settles onto the body in a surprisingly natural way.
The comfort of this T-shirt, which goes beyond its appearance, is another part of its appeal.
<cantáte>
"Enough Space Bag (LARGE)"
COL : BLACK×BLACK , NATURAL×BLACK , NATURAL×GREEN
SIZE : LARGE
¥49,500 TAX IN
A tote bag that truly embodies a sense of security.
A zipper closure keeps the opening secure, while an interior pocket provides additional storage.
Its appeal lies not only in the reassuring sense of privacy from keeping your belongings out of sight, but also in its practical organization for smaller items.
It has plenty of capacity, so it can comfortably hold everything you need for a two- or three-night trip.
This is a bag you can use without hesitation, from everyday outings to travel.
<cantáte>
"Enough Space Bag (SMALL)"
COL : BLACK×BLACK , NATURAL×BLACK , NATURAL×GREEN
SIZE : SMALL
¥33,000 TAX IN
“No compartments.”
This is a tote bag that feels perfectly summed up by those words.
The design is intentionally simple, without dividers, so you can toss everything you need straight inside.
You never have to search around wondering, “Where did I put that?”—just reach in and take out what you need.
There’s something about this clean simplicity that makes it so easy to use.
That concludes this brief introduction to the new 26AW arrivals.
This is only a small selection for now, but I’ll continue introducing new arrivals on the blog and online store whenever they come in!
I’m looking forward to introducing these pieces to you, so please look forward to them.
And I would be happy if, along with cantáte 26AW, you gradually came to remember me as well.
If you see me in the shop, saying something like “I saw your blog!” would be very encouraging.
I look forward to working with you!
