For 47 years, TOKYU HANDS has been a beloved destination for shoppers, homemakers, and lifestyle enthusiasts. But now, it’s time for a fresh start. As of 31 March 2022, this iconic store has undergone a transformation and rebranded itself as simply “HANDS” under the umbrella of CAINZ Corporation, a major player in the BEISA Group.
The rebranding represents a return to the store’s roots, focusing on its founding mission of “Restoring the Hands.” But it’s not just about looking back; it’s about forging a path ahead. HANDS’ new brand message, “Inspiration starts from your hands. Excitement begins from your hands,” is all about enhancing our lives and cultivating a cultural lifestyle.
By the end of March 2024, all HANDS stores, including HANDS Singapore, will proudly carry the new company name and logo, reflecting this exciting new chapter in their journey.
The new name, HANDS, is expected to breathe life into creativity, stir inspiration, and bring excitement into homes and lives. The new logo, a stylized representation of the kanji character for “hand,” embodies the company’s founding purpose while embracing the future. It maintains the traditional deep green color that has become synonymous with HANDS, preserving the brand’s values and familiarity.
