Founded in 2017 by Taiga Takahashi, a collector of American clothing from the 1920s to the 1950s who studied its construction as archaeology, the label reinterprets an archive of more than a thousand garments using Japanese weaving, dyeing and sewing. Takahashi died in 2022; the team he worked with continues the collections. The brand keeps a store in Kyoto.

How to buy

  1. 01

    We buy and ship it for you

    We haven't verified Taiga Takahashi's international checkout yet. 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.
