FOR SAKU
Nordic Clean Beauty for Japan.
Handmade Café SAKU has been gently connecting
local makers, guests, and the city of Hachioji.
It is precisely because of this role
that we would like to share a proposal
for Nordic and US clean beauty brands.
In line with SAKU’s warm, handmade-centered world,
we hope to introduce skincare and hand-care that
make your guests’ everyday life feel just a little more comfortable.
Dear SAKU
WHY with you?
Reason We Would Like to Work Together
Handmade Café SAKU is a warm, community–focused café and handmade shop
born from a wish to cherish and energize Hachioji,
and to create a place where people can truly connect.
Your space brings together local makers and guests:
unique accessories, small objects and one-of-a-kind pieces
quietly tell the stories of their creators on your shelves.
To us, SAKU is a hub that connects “people and people”
and “people and handmade works.”
As a partner representing over 40 beauty brands from around the world,
our mission is to connect everyday life with “a little better” skincare
in a natural, accessible way.
- Shelves filled with handmade creations
- A welcoming house-like café for the local community
- A base for events and markets that enliven the neighborhood
We believe this world you have created
fits beautifully with clean, minimalist Scandinavian skincare
that gently blends into daily life.
“Next to one-of-a-kind handmade pieces,
a touch of Danish skincare that makes everyday life feel a little nicer.”
This is the kind of experience we would love to co-create
together with Handmade Café SAKU.
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 lifestyle-driven spaces like Handmade Café SAKU.
For SAKU, we have enclosed the following sample:
- Repair Hand Lotion (40ml) – Retail price: 3,180 JPY
As a brand that celebrates the natural beauty of bare skin in a very Nordic way,
we believe WOODS_COPENHAGEN can gently elevate
your customers’ everyday self-care routines.
Imagine a guest enjoying a hot drink,
browsing handmade pieces,
and taking a moment to care for their hands.
We would love to help create this experience
where “time spent at SAKU becomes a small personal treat”
with the help of WOODS_COPENHAGEN.
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.
