In Waikiki Aug. 18, Q-Pot designer Tadaaki Wakamatsu shows pieces from his new Winnie-the-Pooh collection that will be in the store Sept. 21.
Q-Pot designer Tadaaki Wakamatsu will be at the Ala Moana Center store 1:30 to 3 p.m. Aug. 21 for a meet-and-greet with fans, as a thank-you for their support of his boutique since it opened last July.
Special offers during the occasion include making 12 of his Japan exclusive Brownie Macaron cell phone charms available, at $58 each; and a gift of the Q-Pot Mook Book, Vol. 3, with any purchase of $100 or more. The Q-Pot book and catalog comes with a Chocolate-print apron and mini bag.
The day after the earthquake, he had come up with Peace bands in his Chocolate design, with 100 percent of proceeds from sales of the $7 bands (so far amounting to $300,000) going to the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami relief effort to aid his country's recovery. A shipment of 500 bracelets to the Hawaii store sold out in a week.

He and his staff spoke of the nation's resilience in light of disasters that have struck their country, as well as continuing tremors. Then they told me I should come visit them in Japan! I told them I would be so freaked out if I felt that rumbling.
