After our first participation at the International optical trade show of Tokyo IOFT, in October last year, Moko has made new friends.
Our mascot proudly shows our creations at 3T, Hi-end store in the prestigious Ginza department store of Tokyo. We thank their commercial team who has become great ambassadors for these innovative frames creation.
Here you are some words from Mr. Tezuka, owner of 3T Japan.
“The product is light and is beautifully designed. It has been very well received by our clients. Not only does Moko fit well, various lens attachment options and numerous frame sizes allow for light glasses even for those with thick lenses. The interchangeable temple tips and rim inserts allow us to customize the frames for our customers”. Mr. TEZUKA – 3T Ginza – Tokio / Japon
Some pictures of our stay in the land of the rising sun and the last highlight from Japanese professional press about us.
A good opportunity for all of us to start learning Japanese !

Italy’s economic capital, great among the best fashion cities in the world; Milan focuses on “haute couture”, design, business and finance, a visionary city … as our beloved Turtle!.
The Turtle team came back delighted from their MIDO participation and the success of this first Italian experience, despite a bizarre return trip among snow, a closed Mont Blanc tunnel … panic on board for some sleepers when seeing on the highway a sign indicating Zürich 100 km! ha,ha,ha.

It’s been a couple of weeks since I returned from Japan, and I realize I haven’t told you what I’ve lived there during the IOFT week.
I was very impressed by IOFT in general, the best trade show I ever saw. Great organisation and a lovely staffs are always available to help us. Helping us to prepare our participation from the beginning of this adventure and giving us all their support during the exhibition. We have been honored by the visit of high level opticians and made very important contacts for us, from Japan and other countries in Asia, even Australian contacts. The balance from this first participation it has been very good and we have really enjoyed the experience.
