Pieces are made in Japan, and signature styles include the Mantle Jumpsuit, Frame Trousers and Socks Shaped Sweater.

Its Dress line reissues archive designs as occasionwear. YOHEI OHNO won the Tokyo Fashion Award in 2016, was a finalist for the International Woolmark Prize and was selected for Vogue Talents.
