With the changing seasons, there’s been a big shift in brands’ focus. For many Polygiene partners, summer gear has given way to autumn and winter products, and that’s meant a flurry of exciting launches for Polygiene-treated products.

When it’s summer in Japan, hot doesn’t even come close. We’re talking about the kind of heat that makes you sweat with every step, and leaves your clothes clinging to your skin. It doesn’t matter whether you’re kicking back on an Okinawa beach or navigating the crowds in chaotic Tokyo, it hits hard.

Products are just a click away and arrive on your doorstep as if out of nowhere.
