About
A knitwear-specialized brand from Hakata
( Émon )Knitwear Brand from Hakata, Fukuoka.
The theme is “Timeless Elegance” Knitwear that Colors Life.
To continuously propose “good things” (ii mon/Émon), we are particular about quality and elegance, creating our products with great care while valuing the craftsmanship of artisans.
Making full use of that craftsmanship, we offer semi-order and even full haute couture options tailored to each individual’s body, so that the wearer may appear even slightly more attractive.
While our main products are generally clothing, in order to share the charm of “Hakata,” where our head office is located, with as many people as possible, we also create items inspired by the very traditional “Hakata Kenjō pattern,” a design whose origins trace back to the Kamakura period and which came to be known as Kenjō-gara in the early Edo period.
