About Our Brand & Artisan: 【HIROKO / 裕瑚】
Our main brand, 【HIROKO / 裕瑚】, is a select boutique specializing in unique, one-of-a-kind upcycled kimono clothing and modern Japanese garments. Every piece is handcrafted by HIROKO, a veteran artisan with 17 years of experience running her own professional atelier.
✨ A Message from the Artisan, HIROKO:
"27 years ago, I was profoundly moved by the sheer beauty and exquisite quality of traditional Japanese kimono fabrics, which inspired me to begin my journey into kimono upcycling. 17 years ago, I established my own studio, 'Atelier HIRO,' in Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
Over the years, I have specialized in transforming ultra-premium textiles like Oshima Tsumugi and Yuki Tsumugi into luxury coats and dresses. It brings me immense joy to help you experience the true pleasure of wearing and styling these historical masterpieces."
We elevate premium traditional fabrics—including the highest-grade Oshima Tsumugi and elegant Shoken (100% pure silk)—into sophisticated, modern garments tailored for contemporary lifestyles. Inspired by international high-fashion and avant-garde modes, our collection features refined black gilets, gowns, and statement dresses or coats that command attention.
Every single creation is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece. Leveraging the precise couture techniques and handwork developed through years of custom order-made tailoring, we carefully reconstruct a single kimono into wearable art. We breathe new life into forgotten histories that once slept in traditional chests, delivering an exceptional garment that adds a special brilliance to your everyday life.
