J.L. from Hong Kong
I am greatly enjoying the Siwa. Thank you. I have been using Siwa products for years now. They are as wonderful to the sight and touch when you first buy them, as they are unique after years of wearing in. Also very functional as they are light-weighted but incredibly resistant. I also very much enjoyed Shokunin's professional and friendly service, fast delivery, and the extra human touch. Definitely will be back.
