disabilities. The “Handmade Message Cards” that we have started selling this time utilize the cushioning material used when shipping JOGGO items from our own factory in Bangladesh to Japan, and are upcycled into “Meguru, Handmade Paper.” as message cards. Because JOGGO items can be customized in color, they are also chosen as gift items by customers. You can send your thoughts by adding a message on a “handmade message card” along with an item whose color is customized with the recipient in mind. This message card allows you to write your own handwritten message or print it on JOGGO.

Additionally, by manufacturing to order, we are working to reduce overproduction and inventory loss. All the leather used in “JOGGO” products is a by-product of the meat production process. We are working on sustainable production by putting resources that would otherwise be thrown away back into the circulation cycle and reusing them. JOGGO has factories in Bangladesh and Japan. In Bangladesh, people who are unable to receive a proper education due to poverty find it difficult to get a job, and within the country, people with disabilities are forced to choose a career from a limited number of options.
