【 Staff Recommended Coordination】Vol.2
With your own colors, add color to your daily life

This time, we introduce in an interview format the smartphone cases actually used by staff working at COVERARY's flagship store in Osaka, along with their fashion on the day.
We also introduce customizations unique to store staff. I hope it will be a reference for enjoying smartphone cases as part of your outfit!
This time's staff introduction: Sonoyama-san
― First, please introduce yourself.
Sonoyama:
I am currently in charge of customer service at the store and product manufacturing in the pet supplies department.
In the pet supplies department, we use a cord called "paracord" to braid pet leashes and make ID tags.
I originally liked customer service work, and I requested to work at the store myself.
Recently, I have been gradually studying to deepen my knowledge of leather, and I think that if customers can learn about the materials and the makers' thoughts, they will enjoy it even more.
A carefully selected combination that values "being yourself"
― Please tell us about your favorite case you are currently using!
Sonoyama:
I combine a simple clear case and a genuine leather shoulder strap with a silver padded ribbon smartphone ring.
It looks very cute, and I wanted to use it in combination. Also, I wanted to experience Japanese leather, so I chose an embossed earphone case made with Himeji leather as an accent.
― Is there a point you keep in mind when thinking about combinations?
Sonoyama:
Since I usually wear unique fashion items, I intentionally choose simple colors for my smartphone case to balance the overall look.
That said, I choose simple yet impactful pieces that can be the main focus, so I really like them.
Smartphone accessories reliable even for moms raising children
― What do you find attractive about the case you use regularly?
Sonoyama:
I tend to forget things, so having a shoulder strap has reduced that. Also, when I'm with my child, having both hands free is very helpful.
This silver ribbon smartphone ring uses a rare leather called Eclat, and because the ribbon is thick, it can also be used as a stand!
It looks cute and stands out when I take photos, and when I go to the nursery, the kids always notice it (laughs).
My trend color to enjoy together with my smartphone case
― Is there a point to today's fashion?
Sonoyama:
This year, I'm really drawn to grape-like colors, and I base my choices on that color. I see it often, so I naturally end up picking it up.
― Is there anything you pay attention to when coordinating your smartphone case with your clothes?
Sonoyama:
I prefer clothing with sharp colors, so I choose smartphone cases that stand out well while coordinating the overall outfit.
I focus on colors that are not too flashy but provide a moderate accent.
Items staff want customers to use! Staff recommended items
― Please tell us your recommended items!
Sonoyama:
It’s a crocodile-patterned case made with COVERARY original leather called "Domani" and a scrunchie-style hand strap made of leather.
― Leather scrunchies are fresh, aren’t they?
Sonoyama:
That’s right. The fact that it’s rare for smartphone accessories is attractive, and I also like it because I know it’s handmade.
― Is there a reason you chose this case?
Sonoyama:
I learned that the leather used in this case is COVERARY original leather, and while studying leather, I thought that the fact it doesn’t overlap with others is one of its attractions, so I recommended it!
"A color different from usual" becomes a new favorite
― Lastly, please give a message to the customers!
Sonoyama:
COVERARY offers customization with various combinations, so many customers who usually choose calm colors find that the color they boldly picked "actually fits best!"
Because smartphone cases are used daily, I definitely want you to choose one that lifts your spirits.
You can actually check the texture of the material and how the color looks, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask the staff.
I like talking with customers, so I’m happy even if you just drop by the store casually!
From now on, through the real voices of staff who actually work, we will continue to deliver ways to enjoy and ideas for smartphone cases.
Please look forward to the next time as well!
