The final day of 2023 will be March!
The first POPUP that Layout held in Okinawa was at March!
We plan to end 2023 at this location, which was the catalyst for opening our Okinawa store.
A miniature garden filled with small shops
The miniature garden-like grounds are lined with small shops that offer a wide selection of wonderful items.
At lifestyle shop March, the owner Matsuoka has carefully selected items scattered throughout the store, and you'll find yourself picking them up and admiring them.

Rugs and vintage furniture are gathered in a space that is quite different from the Okinawa store.
I'm sure the rugs and furniture will have a unique look that is unique to March, so come visit with your heart filled with excitement and anticipation!
This time, the Limited Shop will be produced by staff member U.
What kind of shop will she, with her devilish smile (it rhymes), create in the miniature world of March?
I'm really looking forward to it!
Rugs I encountered while traveling around the area
Layout traveled to the area and met people who live with rugs.
Layout will introduce the rugs inherited from these beloved people in a simple, easy-to-understand manner.
We want to deliver quality rugs
Layout's commitment is to "deliver quality rugs."
To achieve this, we take great care in the many steps before handing the product over to our customers.
I'll give you a hand with 〇-chan
The rugs purchased locally are brought to our own workshop, where they are carefully maintained and finished by hand by our craftsmen.
The craftsmen check and repair the product, checking for holes, fraying, and serious damage.
I'll wash it properly
After maintenance, the rugs are washed multiple times by a cleaning professional, who checks their condition.
Washing vintage rugs is very important.
Because it is an item that has been used, you can continue to use it in good condition by thoroughly removing dust and dirt.
Our craftsmen check repeatedly for odors, sand or dirt stuck to the surface, and stickiness.
~Local occurrences~
The local carpet dealer always says, "Don't worry, it's been washed." (laughs)
However, it is often difficult to know when and where the clothes were washed.
Additionally, because the condition of rugs can vary greatly depending on how they are stored, Layout thoroughly cleans them wherever we can see and reach them, and checks the finished product before sending them to Japan.
*Please be aware that rugs that are not properly cleaned may develop odors, mold, or cause allergies.
I'll take a good look at it.
Once the rugs arrive in Japan, Layout staff check the finish and condition of each one.
It is also a job of balancing the difference in the sense of "it's okay!" between the local area and Japan.
Rugs that do not meet Layout's standards are inspected by our staff and then undergo further maintenance in Japan.
Layout's rugs
With the support of many people, Layout supports the "peace of mind before purchasing a rug" that customers cannot see.
I think this is something only Layout can do, and it's the commitment of all our staff to want you to love the rug you purchase forever.
