Leftovers Worth Loving
-
In Japan, there’s a saying, “Amari mono ni wa fuku ga aru,” which suggests that even surplus items hold potential value, and by cherishing them, we can create new happiness. Inspired by this wisdom, we revive surplus items in sustainable ways, transforming it into renewed opportunities and fresh value.
Our name, “amari,” is imbued with meaning. In Japanese, “amari” refers to “surplus,” while in Latin, it suggests “to be loved.” This dual significance reflects our vision: to turn what’s left over into something cherished, bringing forth prosperity and well-being for all.
