Every brand hits the same wall.
Domestic units ask a new label for thousand-piece runs. The sewing houses that accept small lots cannot do embroidery or beadwork. What stands between a sketch and a finished rail is not design. It is the absence of a bench that takes small runs seriously.
Paris and Japan have been learning from each other for a hundred years. Hokusai changed Paris, and Parisian tailoring changed Japan. Our atelier is the continuation of that dialogue.

Asked before every order.
What does it cost to produce a line?
Development is €2,300 per style with the first sample included, about ¥370,000. Production runs from €70 per piece and rises with construction and embellishment. One style at a five-piece run typically lands under €6,200 all in before shipping, itemised in writing before anything is cut.
Can you really start at five pieces?
Yes. Five per style per colorway is the standard minimum, and single made-to-order pieces are normal for couture commissions. Most clients launch with one or two styles, sell, and reorder at production price only.
Can you produce menswear?
Tailoring is a pillar of the bench: suits, silk jackets, structured outerwear, from a single bespoke commission to a five-piece run. Hand finishing and embroidery are done in-house, with hours itemised in every quote.
How does production work from Japan?
Entirely remotely. Send sketches or references by email or WhatsApp, in English or Japanese. A fixed quote in 48 hours, fittings guided by video, progress photographed from the bench, DHL to Japan in 3 to 6 days with duties estimated in writing beforehand.
Do you work under NDA?
Yes. Private commissions are private by default: nothing is photographed for publication or shown to other clients without written consent, and NDAs are signed on request. Communication can run over end-to-end encrypted channels.
Who actually sews the garments?
Our own atelier: our own couturiers, fabrics sourced from mills in France, Italy and Japan, most work done in-house. Every photograph on this page is our own work.
