irose



irose (イロセ)

日本語の古典で「兄弟」を意味するイロセは、
その名の通り兄弟で経営するバッグブランドです。

デザイナーの高橋 源(以下源ちゃん)、高橋 大(以下大)は
僕の10年来の友人でもあります。

元々僕は源ちゃんと一緒にブランドを設立する目的で、約10年前に
下町は門前仲町で1年ほど生活を共にしていました。

当時は各々バイトをしながら、空いた時間で創作していたわけですが、
毎晩のように、空が白み始める時刻まで夢を語り、
夢を追い、夢に敗れながらも究極に楽しく、忘れることのできない
素晴らしい時間を過ごしました。

後に僕が門仲を離れ、ひと足先に独立するのですが、
そこから三年後の2003年に源ちゃんは弟の大とiroseを設立しました。

決して喧嘩別れをしたわけではなく、その頃はやはり生活をしていく為に
より多くの時間をバイトに費やさなければならない現実があり、
次第に生活のリズムがばらばらになっていったのです。

今でも門仲で過ごした日々を思い起こすと、
ほんのり甘くて、ドキドキ酸っぱい、
あぁ、あれはまさしく青春だったなぁと郷愁を感じずにはいられません。


思わず遠くを見つめる眼差しになり、
フッと視線を戻した手元に


昨年秋に注文していたiroseの名刺入れが。
先日、待ちに待ったこの商品が僕の元に届きました。

何故同業なのにと思われるでしょう。

僕は独立してから今日まで、まともに名刺入れも持った事がない
出来損ないなんです。
勿論過去に何度も自身で名刺入れを作っては使用してきましたが、
その度に友人にあげてしまい、社会人としての基本中の基本アイテムが
定着せぬまま今日を迎えていたのです。
ならばお金を払って、tortoago以外の気に入ったモノを手にしようと、
iroseの商品を購入したわけです。
ゴートレザーの光沢が美しい名刺入れ。
高齢の職人さんが制作しているらしく、同じ職人として
大先輩に敬意を表して、ボロボロになるまで
大切に使わせていただきます。


進む道は違えど、
独創的な発想で楽しませてくれるiroseの活躍に
いつも注目し、また励まされもするです。
