1. The Wonder Looper Weekly Podcast: Episode 104 from The Wonder Looper Weekly Podcast

   Jul 28, 2026

   Episode Notes This week, we've got updates on the upcoming Fall/Winter 2026 collection, and several projects currently in development. We discuss the latest U.S. tariff changes affecting Japanese-made products and what the lower duty rate means for Wonder Looper customers. We also share progress on our heavyweight Foxfibre® tote bag, and give an early look at the upcoming Azuma Knit Afterhood collaboration with the Iron Snail. Along the way, we talk about why vintage Japanese knitting machines are so difficult to replace, the realities of producing clothing slowly and on a small scale, and how the internet has made it possible for niche makers and communities like ours to thrive. We also answer questions from the community about visiting our showroom in Yokohama, Japanese tax-free shopping, milk glass collecting, mechanical keyboards, upcoming releases, and more. As always, thanks for listening. Please follow the podcast and leave us a review to help more people discover Wonder Looper and the stories behind what we make.
