Betty Smith Co., Ltd. (Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, President & CEO: Yasuhiro Oshima), Japan's first ladies' jeans manufacturer and a company with the mission of "Creating Jeans Culture," began installation and operation of the industry's first "Denim Vending Machine" at Sanyo Expressway Fukuyama Service Area (SA) on July 1, 2026 (Wed.), just before the summer vacation.

While "vending machines" are symbols of "everyday convenience" that can be easily purchased regardless of age or gender, "jeans" have traditionally been something that requires trying on and careful selection. Therefore, with the desire for jeans to become an easily purchasable souvenir, we have combined the "extreme convenience" of a vending machine, which is normally the opposite of jeans, with jeans themselves to design a new purchasing experience that overturns common sense: the "Denim Vending Machine."

Key Features of the "Denim Vending Machine"

Industry First

This is the first attempt in the industry to sell jeans via a vending machine.

It proposes a completely new self-service sales style for jeans, where "purchase to delivery" is completed on the spot simply by pressing a button.

No Fitting Room Required

We have developed "denim easy pants" with a one-size-fits-all unisex design and adjustable waist with a drawstring.

Jeans as "OMIYAGE JEANS®️"

In addition to being a tangible "travel memory" for yourself, it creates new opportunities as an "easy gift" for international tourists and loved ones.

⚫ "OMIYAGE JEANS ®️" is a registered trademark of Betty Smith.
