Notice
Thank you for your continued patronage and support of Tamura Socks.
While the price of yarn, our raw material, continues to rise, and packaging materials and shipping costs have also increased,
we have made every effort to maintain prices.
However, we will be revising the prices of some products starting September 1, 2024.
We will continue to manufacture and sell high-quality items that resonate with our customers' hearts. We kindly ask for your understanding and continued patronage.
*Price Revision Overview (effective September 1, 2024)
Products using silk: 10% to 30% increase (100 yen to 400 yen increase)
*For detailed prices of each product, please check our EC site (https://tamurasocks.com) etc. after September.
*From here on, it's a column
How can we increase value beyond the price increase?
First, we'll re-evaluate package design and wrapping from scratch.
How can we continue sales?
In particular, many of the steps involve manual labor by our female staff, and we want to increase their hourly wages and retain them so they can continue working.
Since it's not fully automated, we wouldn't be able to make most of our socks without our staff.
The price increase mainly affects items made with silk.
Among them, we believe that the value of our double-layered socks, made with the soul of a craftsman, is higher than their price.
Sometimes, I wonder if promoting our products overseas would increase their sustainability...
But while it's wonderful that people overseas praise Japanese-made products,
I also wish that the Japanese people would be the ones who appreciate them the most.
Every day I think about how I need to work hard to get more people to notice our products, and lately, I've been wishing for boundless energy.
We'll do our best this autumn and winter!
