Theme is climbing mountains! Let’s go look for many kinds of mushrooms!

I love eating mushrooms. My dishes always contain mushrooms.

Someday, I want to eat the dishes made with mushrooms picked while wearing Pantashrooms!

Wearing Pantashrooms is the best style when you climb the mountains! Of course, these pants are also very cool when you wear them in town.

Pantashrooms are knit pants with generally loose silhouette. You can adjust the size by pulling the string at its waist. Picot hem cast on is very pretty.
