Thank you for your continued patronage of Taylor with Respect.
This is Taniguchi from Sowell.
Distressed Black is a new color that was announced at Bacchus last year.
Do you all remember?
The new color, which sold out in an instant on the ordering site and disappeared from store shelves the same day, is now finally available at Diadema.

[Background to its creation]
This black gradation was previously available as col. 05 for Diadema and Bacchus.
The color has been highly praised for its unique finish, which smoothly transitions from matte black to glossy black.
However, the production was extremely difficult, and even skilled craftsmen found it difficult to ensure a stable supply, so unfortunately the color was discontinued.
Since then, the Taylor team has been searching for a successor color, but the answer has not been easy to find.
One day, a casual comment from designer Wakita-san gave birth to the seed of a new black color, and after repeated trials with a partner factory, the successor color, "Damaged Black," was born.
[Col.07 Damaged Black Features]
- The distressed texture that Taylor with Respect has been using since its early days has finally been applied to black.
⇒ The result is a weathered, sophisticated black.
Its unique inorganic quality, neither matte nor glossy, is striking.
- Damaged titanium is used only for the armor parts.
⇒ By using this world-first technology in key areas, contrast in texture is created.
The difference in color quietly asserts individuality.

At Taylor with Respect, we have a strong commitment to the color black.
Black is a color with a huge variety of colors, not just metal or plastic, and we have approached it from various angles to strongly reflect the brand's worldview.
The damaged black color scheme in this model particularly shows off this design.
Please consider this as a new black staple proposed by the brand.
