For Kichi Cafe
Because Telling Cafe & Gallery in Kita-Aoyama is a space
where café time and gallery experiences are thoughtfully woven together
around stories, values and sustainability,
we have crafted this proposal of Nordic & US clean beauty brands especially for you.
We would love to add a small touch of hand and skincare
that quietly accompanies the time your guests spend over coffee, meals,
books and artworks.
Dear Kichi Cafe
WHY with you?
Reason We Would Like to Work Together
To us, Telling Cafe & Gallery is a place where a relaxed café atmosphere and a curated gallery space come together to host meaningful content—stories about people, society and the future. Over coffee or a meal, guests naturally encounter books, artworks and events that connect everyday life with values such as sustainability and thoughtful curation.
We see skincare not only as a “tool to become beautiful,” but as a small self-care switch that fits into these moments of reflection and discovery. After viewing an exhibition or during quiet reading time, simply trying a Nordic hand cream near the counter or bookshelves can become a gentle cue to pause and take care of oneself.
We feel your commitment to “telling stories” and curating with intention resonates strongly with the worldview of Nordic & US clean beauty brands. By layering a subtle hand-care experience onto café time, we hope a visit can feel even more like “a moment to care for both mind and body.” That is why we created this proposal specifically for Telling Cafe & Gallery.
BRANDS
Our Suggest brands for you
WOODS_COPENHAGEN
Restoring Antioxidant Hand Lotion
Copenhagen, Denmark
WOODS_COPENHAGEN is a clean, high-performance skincare brand
born in Copenhagen, Denmark.
With a strong focus on naturally derived ingredients
and sustainable formulations,
the brand aims to balance daily usability, visible results,
and peace of mind for the user.
Its gender-neutral, minimalist design pairs naturally with cafés,
galleries and lifestyle shops that offer not only “things”
but also a unique experience and atmosphere.
The sample we have sent you is:
◆ Repair Hand Lotion (40ml)
– Retail price: 3,180 JPY
As a brand that celebrates the natural beauty of bare skin
in a distinctly Nordic way,
we believe WOODS_COPENHAGEN can gently elevate
your guests’ everyday self-care routines.
By adding a small “moment of hand care”
to the time guests spend enjoying drinks, food,
art or handmade goods in your space,
we hope to help create an experience where
“time spent at your place feels like a small personal treat.”
Partnership Idea
How We Would Like to Work Together
Smart Shelf Plan
Our Smart Shelf Plan is designed to help you create a compact Nordic skincare “beauty shelf” with testers in a small corner of your space,
so you can start generating beauty sales in a smart, low-effort way.
With as little as an A4–A3 sized area near the register or within your retail zone,
guests can discover the items naturally along the same flow
in which they enjoy drinks, food, or exhibitions,
and then purchase them directly at your register.
Image of the beauty shelf
- A compact corner featuring Nordic hand and skincare items
- A simple tester-led flow where guests can try scent and texture before buying
- Minimal fixtures and POP, tailored to match your atmosphere
《Revenue Model》
All products are provided by LUXENOSA on consignment,
so there is no upfront purchasing.
Once a guest pays at the register, the sale is confirmed,
and 30% of the sales amount becomes your profit,
while 70% is settled with us.
You simply share the number of items sold once a month,
and we handle the calculation based on that data.
《Benefits》
- No upfront cost
There is no need to invest in stock in advance,
which means no risk of dead stock or cash tied up in inventory. - Ongoing optimization support
We propose and adjust the product line-up and rotation
based on your concept, clientele and the season.
We also review sales data and guest feedback together
to decide “which items, at what price range, and in what quantity”
make the most sense for your space. - Minimal space required
Because we can start with roughly one A4–A3 shelf tier,
there is no need for major renovations or large fixtures.
You can use a small part of your existing register area or display shelves
to offer beauty items in a way that feels natural.
First Steps and Future Development
– Start Small, Grow Over Time –
We believe in starting small and discovering the right format together,
rather than making a large commitment from day one.
In other words,
we hope to co-create beauty experiences that guests can only encounter
“because it is your place.”
By keeping “your uniqueness” at the center,
starting from a manageable scale,
and updating things step by step based on real reactions,
we would like this partnership itself
to feel like an enjoyable, ongoing project for both sides.
