「オーダーって、こんなこともできるんだ。」

“Orders can do things like this.”

We have received many inquiries from customers asking, "Can we do something like this?" and we have created bespoke items that are fully custom-made.
Currently, we are fully booked for more than six months in advance, but Masahiko Kusagaya, Brooklyn's representative and chief craftsman, puts his heart and soul into each piece.

Among these ordered items, we would like to introduce some of the items that we receive many inquiries about along with anecdotes.

Long wallet & coin case with card slit

For many years, customers have been looking for a wallet that has both the design and usability they desire.
Before he knew it, he was going to various stores, trying to find what he was looking for, giving up, making inquiries, and then giving up.

Meanwhile, I happened to visit the Brooklyn Museum.
When we talked about bespoke, which allows us to create a design from scratch rather than just having a fixed shape, we immediately accepted an order.

We will work with you over and over again to check every detail and get closer to the ideal design.
The point we were particular about was that it was a ``thin, but long wallet that could hold a coin case.''

We asked them to specify the direction of the brush grain for the persimmon tannin dye, which we selected as the main material, and after thorough discussions, a wonderful product was born.

I saw a very happy smile on my face, and both the craftsman and the staff made me feel warm.

watch belt

A couple learned about the Brooklyn Museum at a certain event.
Both of them love watches, and it's a wonderful atmosphere to see them having so much fun talking to each other.

Just when I got the watch I had been looking for,
"If you're going to wear it, wear it with good quality and leather that you like."
I received an order based on this commitment.

The husband's material is .
It was love at first sight.He liked the texture of the leather and decided on the stitching color as well.

The wife's material is .
The cute coloring had even the staff around me exclaiming, "So cute!"

Not only can you choose the leather used for the lining and each color, but we can also make D buckles and thin belts for women to match your watch.

When I suddenly turned my attention to my watch, I saw a belt decorated to suit me.
Please enjoy the ``adult taste'' that makes your hands beautiful.

smartphone case

A customer who uses many Brooklyn Museum items.
After being introduced to us by a friend, we stocked all of our products in French calfs and have been using them with care.

“If I were to use them, I would like to use the same leather.”
This time, I ordered a smartphone case in French calf.

The concept is simple: ``things that don't overlap with other people.''

The inside is finished with corn cream and orange to complement the red smartphone.

This orange was chosen for both the front and the inside.
Actually, it's my favorite color that you use in your wallet.
Subtly matching materials and colors with small items is an expert's ``color play.''

The part that fastens the orange belt uses white and blue stitching, giving it an instantly gorgeous look.
Apparently, it was inspired by the Aegean Sea, and every time I pick up my smartphone, I can see white-walled houses, a beautiful blue sky, and the sea, which is really wonderful.

Next time, a customer said they would like to make a watch strap using matching materials.

"What color should I choose next?"
The more you expand your imagination, the more fun you will have.

In order to complete one item, several "patterns" are required.

Kusagaya says that when drawing this pattern, be sure to check the circumstances that led the customer to order the item and the story of the customer's visit to the store.
This is because by understanding the background of the customer's requests, we are able to deliver products closer to their ideal form.

“I think it could be made smaller…”
"It's better to choose this core material here."
"This specification is definitely easier to use, so please try suggesting it to the customer again."

Such a conversation is taking place in the Brooklyn Museum's workshop.


All because we want to give you "good things" that people will love and use for a long time.


We have drawn as many patterns as the number of customers, and have given shape to as many wonderful "feelings" as there are customers.
Yes, at the Brooklyn Museum, there are craftsmen who can turn your ideas into reality.

Please feel free to come by just for a consultation.
We look forward to seeing you at our Aoyama main store.
