FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KōROGI Becomes First American Distributor of Shim.Craft Wood Work Swamp Outdoor Gear
Portland, OR – 5/01/2025 – KōROGI is excited to announce its partnership with Shim.Craft, a highly regarded garage brand from Osaka, Japan. As the first American distributor of Shim.Craft products, KōROGI is bringing their thoughtfully crafted, hand-made wooden camp accessories to the U.S. market for the first time.
Shim.Craft is known for its simple yet highly functional designs that prioritize quality and craftsmanship. Their products are created with meticulous attention to detail, enhancing the outdoor experience from a user-first perspective. With a reputation for limited production runs and exclusive availability, this partnership offers a rare opportunity for American campers to access Shim.Craft’s sought-after gear.
The first wave of Shim.Craft products available through KōROGI is comprised of the May 2025 Release,
- Magnet Hanging Bar – Available in Oak or Walnut for the Snow Peak Stacking Shelf Container 25 or 50, this individually sold accessory attaches to the Shelcon’s side panels, providing a secure way to hang bags, cups, and other essentials.
- Shim.Grip – A handmade hardwood replacement grip for the Snow Peak Stacking Shelf Container 25 and 50, available in Oak or Walnut, designed to elevate comfort and aesthetics.
- Shim.Handle – A one-piece replacement handle for the Snow Peak Stacking Shelf Container 25 or 50, designed to lock the Shelcon together, reducing movement and allowing for a more customizable side panel. Requires the re-use of OEM bamboo grips or the addition of an aftermarket grip like the Shim.Grip.
These products are expected to be available for purchase through KōROGI in early June.
"Shim.Craft’s dedication to hand-crafted outdoor accessories aligns with KōROGI’s mission to support small, innovative brands," said Nate Matos, President at KōROGI. "We are excited to bring their work to American campers, offering new ways to customize and enhance existing gear like the Snow Peak Stacking Shelf Container for a more personal and functional outdoor experience."
