Coto Mono Marche Opens a New Permanent Store in FKD Interpark

On May 20, 2025, Coto Mono Marche, a renowned select shop for handmade goods, will open its new permanent location at FKD Interpark Shopping Mall in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. This new store marks a significant step as it transitions from hosting periodic pop-up events over the past five years to establishing a permanent presence in one of the largest shopping centers in the Kanto region.

A Long-Awaited Permanent Fixture

FKD Interpark has been a popular venue for temporary Coto Mono Marche stores, frequently hosting limited-time events that have received enthusiastic feedback from customers. The decision to open a permanent store was driven by the strong demand from loyal customers, culminating in the grand opening slated for May 20, 2025.

The new store will showcase a curated selection of brands and highlight unique accessories that reflect a high sense of quality and creativity. Customers can look forward to discovering distinctive handmade pieces that are not available anywhere else, perfect for enhancing summer outfits.

Diverse Gift Options and Nail Art

One standout feature of Coto Mono Marche is its extensive collection of gift wrapping options, with a showcase of past designs available. Shoppers might just run into limited edition designs that are no longer in circulation.

Additionally, the store will include a wall dedicated to handmade nail tips that offer salon-quality aesthetics for at-home enjoyment. This popular series originated during the COVID-19 pandemic as a response to customers unable to visit nail salons. The creative collaboration behind these products highlights Coto Mono Marche's commitment to supporting artisans and evolving alongside their creative talent.

Coto Mono Marche is excited to introduce its collaboration with Sunlemo, featuring a new summer visual theme in May. Expect accessories that exude a refreshing, juicy look, ideal for the forthcoming summer season and perfect as gifts.
