The caravan, decorated in the brand's signature lace pattern, was built by Wayne's Toyota Kanagawa, with tires provided by Yokohama Rubber. Exclusive handkerchiefs and popular lace tote bags will be sold. The initiative marks the brand's 125th anniversary and aims to offer customers a shopping experience that cannot be replicated online. The main Motomachi store is temporarily operating from a different location due to renovations, with the reopening scheduled for September 9.
