Celebrate ALISA's First Anniversary

ALISA, a brand that intertwines the artistry of traditional crafts with modern innovation, is excited to announce its first-anniversary event. This spring marks a significant milestone for ALISA, having delivered beauty that transcends time through carefully crafted Kimono Robes. Collaborating with skilled artisans from long-standing traditions such as Kaga Yuzen workshops and Kyoto Yuzen crafts that date back 470 years, ALISA has aimed to foster a connection between the past and the future.

As we reflect on this past year, we are grateful for the support of everyone who resonated with ALISA's vision, helping the brand evolve into a prominent figure in the world of culture and fashion. Our goal is to transform ALISA from a mere apparel brand into a platform that encourages the interaction between artisans and those who appreciate their craft, creating a nurturing ground for new cultural expressions.
