A fairly new Japanese brand estalished in 2013. Japanese bespoke shoes and shoemakers are highly regarded globally, however its Ready To Wear is largely unknown and not talked about outside of Japan.
The founder, Teppei Yoshimi after study in London Cordwainers College, went back to Japan and opened a shoe repair shop. For the years he learned from different makers and developed his own design. Finally he found a factory to manufacture his own brand.
Two aspects shine at least in Teppei’s eyes, one is to fit Japanese feet, the other is only using Japanese cow hide. The latter one is very rare as almost everyone agree that Europe has the best cow leather for shoes.
Have a look at its line up.
Remark
From 2013 to 2020, only 7 models are alive, which is highly praised by me. But if no one told me it is a Japanese brand, I would guess it is a Spanish. for 550 USD, I don’t know whether it is a good price or not.
