On a late summer day, she headed to the river during a brief spell of sunshine.
Q: What got you into "Saku River" (Instant River)? Did this activity bring anything special into your life?
A: A few years ago, I became hooked on what I call “Saku River.” Whenever I have some free time, I grab the bare essentials and quickly head to a nearby river. This is my version of an instant escape, or in short, "Saku River." Even just a little time spent away from the hustle and bustle of the city and reconnecting with nature does wonders for clearing my mind, body, and soul.
I have several favorite rivers for my "Saku River" trips, and on this day, I returned to my usual spot.
Q: Could you tell us about the outfit you wore for this Saku River trip?
A: On this day, I was wearing my go-to loungewear from a brand called "HUNDR.," specifically their "Tencel Cotton Cropped Shirt" and "Tencel Cotton Slit Skirt." HUNDR. is a brand founded by a group of young professionals working in the fashion industry. Their clothing is not only comfortable for lounging at home but is also perfect for quick outings or leisure activities, making it a versatile option.
Q: Why did you choose HUNDR. for your Saku River outing?
A: I love that this outfit can be worn as a set or mixed and matched with other pieces. During Saku River trips, I usually throw something on over my swimsuit, and the cropped shirt from HUNDR. is perfect for this—leaving the front open to show a glimpse of my swimsuit adds a cute, casual vibe.
The fabric is a blend of Tencel, cotton, and linen, which feels soft and delicate on the skin, offering a stress-free wearing experience that lets me fully relax. I often just sit by the river and clear my mind, and this outfit is ideal for such moments of peace.
It’s all about comfort—the outfit keeps me feeling at ease even while traveling. The fabric, which contains 55% Tencel and 26% cotton, strikes a balance between casual coziness and a subtle polished feel. It’s also versatile enough to not look out of place when I stop by the convenience store or walk around the city on my way back from the river.
Additionally, the fabric's moisture-wicking and breathability make it perfect for outdoor activities. The large pockets on the shirt are also a practical bonus.
Although it had cooled down considerably on this day and I couldn’t fully immerse myself in the river, just dipping my feet in the water left me feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. With the autumn foliage season approaching, I’m excited for the different experiences that the changing seasons will bring. Now, I look forward to planning my next instant escape and enjoying the anticipation that comes with it.
