Once upon a time a California girl straight out of college moved to the Japanese Alps in a little town of Shirotori, knew no one, spoke not a lick of the language and somehow survived for two long winters. What got me through it was the handful of ski resorts surrounding the little town and the coziest of company. A decade later and with the power of deep rooted friendships still in Japan, Avenue Dee gets to grace the windows of an outdoor shop in Shibuya, Tokyo to help accessorize the vision of winter The North Face style. Our Flannel Jack Fanny Pack looks a part of the family already.
