Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your patience.
The original planned schedule was for early September 2018. However, the unexpected continued, initially with the operator's ill health in the first half of 2018, later with template changes, and worst of all, with the scheduled opening on 11 November 2018 being extended again and again, including a server change due to an accident a few days before, which delayed the opening by about four to five months.
We are also sorry that we do not have a physical shop and have not had time to make handcrafted products due to the priority given to creating a store on our website, so we only sell materials and ingredients.
Although it has yet to take shape, we aim to create a store that sells attractive and fascinating products.

As a thought drawing "(Fortuna, Fortuna)" lucky tape coming from "Formosa = Taiwan".
The tape is made of Taiwanese material, so we named it "Fortuna Tape", changing the letter "F" from "Formosa = Taiwan" to "Fortuna = Goddess of Fortune" to honour the Taiwanese handicraft enthusiasts who taught us about PP bands.
The Fortuna Pearl was the first Fortuna tape series to be imported and first stocked from Taiwan.
The 0.5-0.8 mm thickness (medium thickness in cross-section and thin at the corners) looks hard, but it is surprisingly soft and smooth to the touch and has a pearly sheen. It is not extremely stiff, even in early winter, and the curling is reduced by letting it become accustomed, so that it does not produce lint-like fibres, nor split vertically. A material that can take many different forms depending on your ideas.
*There are no production items made from this material yet, and these are only impressions at the time of sorting. More on the feeling of use in the next issue.
Tape width 21mm and a total of 53 colours. (A 12mm tape width is also available but not yet in stock).
This is still the reason why I decided to import!
With a total of 53 colours, you can imagine many different patterns and challenges. The Fortuna Pearl Tape is truly a "pearl" of "luck" from "Formosa = Taiwan".
People feel differently about this Fortuna Pearl.
I sincerely hope that good luck (happiness) will reach you.
In addition, Alaudae.JP was able to use this (Fortuna) material to get the idea of importing, wholesaling and retailing a carefully selected range of attractive materials from all over the world.
