True elegance resides in the edges. Look closely at the cuffs of our coats. A slender line of contrasting color against the main fabric. This is the traditional Japanese technique called "Fuki". It is a "secret conversation" between the designer and you.

This is "Oshima Tsumugi," known as the queen of Kimono textiles. It features precise geometric patterns and a deep indigo hue unique to mud dyeing. Within this intellectual silence, we dared to hide a line of "Vivid Red" Fuki. This is the moment a traditional masterpiece transforms into high fashion.

Here we have a vibrant classical pattern depicting seasonal flowers. We paired this with a warm "Orange" Fuki. The traditional motif is elevated into a modern coat by this pop of color. It is a magical bridge connecting the past and the present.
