Hello. This is KLD, a second-hand brand clothing store.
It's still the season when strong sunlight can be a concern.
The straw hat is definitely a staple summer item.
This cool fashion item is made from raffia and is also known as a straw hat.
In addition to straw hats, light and cool hat items such as Panama hats and light, cool paper hats are very popular.
Also, ultraviolet rays are a woman's nemesis in the summer. While it is important to take proper measures against UV rays, women also want to be conscious of fashion.
So, this time I would like to introduce some brands that offer fashionable straw hats and other items.
The brand lineup is as follows:
We have carefully selected a selection of highly regarded hat brands, from international to domestic brands.
We will also provide detailed information about popular models from each brand.
