Introducing SakuLux®,
the new brand formerly known as FLEXY.
Accessory use stainless steel rope product FLEXY is rebranded to SakuLux® Starting January 2024.
Rebranding and Trademark Registration
SakuLux® has obtained the trademark and design rights in both Japan and China.
Since about 10 years ago when we started the brand FLEXY,
We have been offering our products without registering a trademark.
However, in recent years, it has come to our attention that the FLEXY trademark has been registered in China without our knowledge or consent.
This has led to the unauthorized distribution of low-quality wires under the FLEXY name, using packaging identical to ours.
We recognized that this situation could lead to confusion and misuse among our valued customers.
It also posed a significant threat to our brand.
Therefore, we made the decision to keep our existing products while rebranding under the new name. SakuLux®.
We have also obtained the trademark and design rights for SakuLux®.
With our new brand name, we remain committed to providing the same high-quality accessory use wires as before.
Brand Concept
Sakura x Luxury
The inspiration behind our new brand name comes from “Sakura,”,
the symbol of Japan, and the word “Luxury.”.
The new brand name embodies two cherished values:
“Sakura evokes the graceful elegance of accessories that enhance one's personal style.
“Luxury” reflects our pride in offering high-quality wires, made with Japanese precision.
Voice of Inventors
Our wires are made from the selection of raw materials to the final manufacturing process.
We assure the stable strength and resistance to natural curving of our wires.
This effort gave us absolute confidence in the high quality.
We can provide different color options to meet your needs.
And also, the package is meticulously designed with the delicate beauty of the Sakura flower in mind.
