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's work with Myanmar goods began with the fact that our representative, Tin Nwe Win, comes from Myanmar. The pieces made by local artisans are carefully crafted and carry a warmth rooted in daily life, and each one has a story behind it. We keep this shop going because we want it to be a place where you can feel the daily life and culture of Myanmar while here in Tokyo.
Why We Keep Sourcing Even Amid Instability
Conditions in Myanmar are far from calm, and we take great care in verifying matters before making purchasing decisions. What keeps us going is our wish not to let our connections with the makers there be broken. If the goods stop arriving, it affects the artisans' work and livelihoods further down the line. Assessing the situation and never overextending ourselves, we place great importance on continuing to purchase wherever 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.
Three Things REGARO Values
