A Traditional Pattern with a Contemporary Twist
The JAPANMOTIF Nami series features the seigaiha wave pattern, reinterpreted for a contemporary context. The seamless interlocking design, etched with laser precision, is simultaneously tranquil and dynamic as it shifts with movement.
Light & Washable Luxury
Developed by Toray Industries, Ultrasuede®TS is a synthetic leather made in Japan offering the luxurious look and texture of natural suede, combined with remarkable lightness that genuine leather cannot match. Its greatest feature is that it's easily washable at home: simply machine wash or hand-wash to remove dirt while maintaining its refined aesthetic.
*Always remove the brooch before washing
Simplicity, Meticulously Designed
The series features a versatile 2Way Tote and a compact Crossbody. The minimalist silhouettes highlight both the etched pattern and subtle detailing—from the looped strap base to the playful yet elegant fish-shaped brooch.
