Marno
MARNO is a Tokyo-based womenswear label established by stylist Hirona Marubayashi and operated by Godo Kaisha MARNO, incorporated in March 2021. The brand presents a wardrobe of dresses, shirts, jackets, knit pieces and selected leather accessories, sold through numbered collections and a continuing basic line. Its own description centres on clothing intended to remain in use over time, while external profiles place the label within Marubayashi’s broader work in fashion styling. The collections are organised around lightweight dressing, soft handle, and ease of wear. On the site, knitwear and leather are developed as distinct product groups, while item descriptions and editorial coverage indicate recurring attention to fabric touch, drape, and mobility rather than trend-driven construction. The range combines everyday garments with bags, shoes and hair accessories, suggesting a tightly edited brand built through small seasonal releases rather than an extensive wholesale-style assortment. What distinguishes MARNO is the way it translates a stylist’s eye into a direct-to-consumer clothing line without relying on spectacle. Its point of difference lies in balancing feminine codes with practical wearability: garments are conceived to move across ordinary daytime use, travel, and slightly dressed settings, with proportion, texture and comfort doing most of the work.

How to buy

  1. 01

    We buy and ship it for you

    Marno doesn't ship abroad. Honmono can order in Japan on your behalf and forward it to you — one contact, one invoice, no Japanese address needed.

  2. 02

    Use a dedicated proxy service

    A proxy such as Buyee or ZenMarket gives you a Japanese address, buys the item and forwards it. Cheaper than a concierge, but expect forwarding fees, a longer wait and customs on arrival.

  3. 03

    Buy it while in Japan

    Buy direct from the official shop or a Japanese retailer while you're there — tax-free at most stores on presentation of your passport.
