Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, has long been a centre of jewellery processing and has a large number of craftsmen with very high skills. Today, the number of craftsmen has decreased considerably due to the ageing of the population, but there are still a few craftsmen with excellent skills.
The products introduced here are our original cufflinks, tie-bars and bracelets, which are scattered with the skills of Kofu craftsmen.
We have been importing fabrics from Vanners, a long-established British silk weaving company, to produce a variety of men’s accessories, but unfortunately Vanners is no longer able to produce fabrics due to their poor management. We have started to deal in fabrics woven by a long-established weaver in Nishijin, Kyoto, which are of very good quality and can replace Vanners’ silk as a new material. This time we are introducing an armband, bow tie and pocket chief in a houndstooth pattern in four colours that are relatively easy to match.
