Nice to meet you, Brift H.

In this issue of "Nice to meet you, I'm Brift H." I would like to introduce what kind of store Brift H is and what we do in the shoeshine business.

Brift H was founded in June 2008 on Kotto-dori in Aoyama, and is now in its 17th year. After less than four years of shoe-shine on the street, we decided to open the world's first countertop shoe-shine shop in order to "Revolutionize the Japanese footwear! After less than 4 years of street shoeshine, we opened the world's first counter-style shoeshine store to realize our goal of "Revolutionizing the footwear of Japan!

As of October, 2024, the company has opened its first counter-style shoeshine shop in Birmingham.

As of October 2024, Brift H has 5 stores in Japan and 1 overseas.

Each shop has its own unique craftsmen working and polishing their skills. Each store has its own unique system and pricing. Recently, we have been working hard on new businesses other than shoeshine, such as a bag care store in Otsuka and a repair shop in Oiso.


Products

Brift H produces many original shoeshine products including shoeshine tools." As the name "MADE BY SHOESHINEMAN" suggests, we aim for the highest quality in our category and make tools that are easy to use, created from the perspective of a shoe-shine craftsman.

We sell our products not only through our company, but also through shoeshine stores and retailers nationwide, and only through trusted stores that understand and know Brift H's products.

We also collaborate with many craftsmen, designers, and brands on apparel and other products. Although we are a shoeshine shop, we consider ourselves to be in the business of "fashion", so we also create many of these collaborative products.

We also sell certified used shoes as "Brift H GUARANTEED SHOES" in our online store. Each item is inspected and repaired as necessary before being sold. We also offer aftercare tickets with a six-month validity period to all purchasers.


Services

There are four ways for customers who wish to have their shoes shined or repaired.

No appointment is required for drop-off, etc. at the store. If you would like to have your shoes polished on the same day at the counter, we would appreciate it if you could make a reservation. Even if you do not make a request, you can come to the store for consultation, etc., so please feel free to visit the store.

3, Services at affiliated stores
Currently, two stores, United Arrows Roppongi and Marunouchi, are always available to accept Brift H services. Since a craftsman is only in the store once every two weeks, we are able to offer the service at that time, but we always accept deposits. Please check with each store for monthly dates.
