With over a thousand followers and hundreds of 5-star reviews here on Pinkoi, these are “daininki” (大人気, “very popular”) brands you don’t want to miss!
♕ Harapecora ♕
Top seller Harapecora leads the chart again with acrylic cartoon jewelry decorated with pearls and gold. Part of the magic is in the straightforward, descriptive titles that reminds you of Japanese storybooks: “Red pandas wanting to eat apples,” “Witch riding a broom,” “The Pig before it’s roasted.”
Harapecora has:
- 30+ designs
- 2772 followers
- 276 five-star reviews
♕ Temariya ♕
When we think of masks in J-pop culture, most often we think of “bosozoku” (gangs) wearing masks to hide their faces. But Temariya’s handmade cotton double gauze masks are for something else. They are soft to the skin, and have a three-dimensional design that seamlessly blocks bacteria, allergens, and dry cold air from your respiratory system. It’s a small product, but a sweet and thoughtful one!
Temariya has:
- 100+ designs
- 1659 followers
- 237 five-star reviews
♕ Shibaful ♕
With phone cases, coasters and office decors, Shibaful brings greenery to where electronics strain our eyes the most. As the world’s first lawn mobile accessory brand using electrostatic flocking (meaning grassy lawns and grassy basketbal courses on your phone cases), it’s been a hit since its release in Japan in 2013, and has had collaborations with professional sports teams.
Shibaful has:
- 50+ phone case designs
- 786 followers
