Our Commitment and Values
We value our connection with Myanmar. Here we share the story behind our continued sourcing and the thinking behind the products we select.
Why We Deal in Myanmar Goods
REGARO came to deal in Myanmar goods after encountering pieces crafted by local artisans and being drawn to their careful construction and the warmth rooted in everyday life. Even the crafts that sit unassumingly on our shelves each have a story behind them. We continue this business out of a wish to be a place where you can experience the daily life and culture of Myanmar without leaving Tokyo.
Why We Keep Sourcing Even Amid Instability
Conditions on the ground are far from calm, and we carefully verify every purchasing decision. We keep going nonetheless because we do not want to lose the connections we have built with local makers. If goods stop arriving, the work and livelihoods of those artisans are affected as well. Assessing the situation carefully and never overextending ourselves, we place great importance on continuing to source as much as we can.
What We Value When Selecting Products
The products we place in our store are chosen only after we have handled them ourselves and confirmed their materials and construction. Rather than mass-produced items, we focus on tools that have been used in everyday life and pieces in which you can sense the artisan's handiwork. We check not only their beauty but also their ease of use and durability, and we make a point of presenting them so that customers can pick them up and choose for themselves.
