From June 1 to 4, 2025, USA IKACHI took part in ASTRA Marketplace & Academy, the annual event for creative brands, designers, manufacturers and global retailers in lifestyle, art & design and education. Held at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, the event brought together hundreds of brands from many countries.

ASTRA – A space for creative connection and innovation

ASTRA Marketplace & Academy is not just a trade show but also a highly connected educational platform. Over four days, seminars, strategy panels, design workshops and business networking created an open environment for exchange, promoting sustainable design ideas, innovation in education and product development aligned with global trends.

USA IKACHI – Personalized, creative and sustainable green gifts

At ASTRA 2025, USA IKACHI presented its collection of personalized green gifts, designed to be beautiful in form, deep in meaning and friendly to the environment.
Highlights of the collection:

  • Modern designs that subtly incorporate cultural elements
  • Biodegradable, recyclable materials: mostly made from harmless paper
  • Unique reusability: gift boxes can be transformed into other items such as 3D pictures or desk calendars, adding value and extending the product’s life cycle

IKACHI aims to share a green-living message through every gift, helping shape a new consumer mindset: choosing gifts not only for their appearance but for the story and sustainable value within.

Toony Kids – Recycled toys that inspire green living

Alongside USA IKACHI, Toony Kids, a member of the Toony Designs ecosystem, also showcased standout products at the event. A children’s toy brand developed in the U.S., Toony Kids impressed visitors with product lines made from recycled wood, paper and eco-friendly materials.

Toony Kids toys are designed not only for fun but also for learning, helping children:

  • Develop creative thinking and social skills through play
  • Nurture a love of nature and environmental awareness from an early age
  • The combination of “fun play” and “green education” is the strength that helps Toony Kids win the hearts of modern parents and educators
  • Toward the future of sustainable toy design

Participating in ASTRA 2025 is an important step in the international expansion of USA IKACHI and Toony Kids. It is also an opportunity for a Vietnamese brand to show its commitment to the environment through every product, helping spread a green, creative and responsible lifestyle on a global scale.
