A Celebration of Craftsmanship: MASMI ESSENTIAL Pop-Up Event

Masumi Kobou Co., Ltd., renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality, is thrilled to announce a pop-up event that commemorates over 109 years of tradition in bag-making. From May 21, 2025, for approximately one month, customers can immerse themselves in the intricate world of Masumi Kobou at select Isetan Mitsukoshi stores.

Unique Offerings

The highlight of this event will be our exclusive Personal Order Reception, where customers can experience the combination of traditional techniques and innovative designs. Attendees can witness exceptional displays of our crafted goods and, most excitingly, participate in the early sales of new items under our newly launched brand, MASMI ESSENTIAL.

The event will showcase a collection of rare archival pieces, reflecting the rich history of Masumi Kobou. Among the highlights will be the Dulles Boston bag, a staple since our founding, and the intricately crafted attaché case, known for its unique wood and leather combination. Attendees will also have the opportunity to see hand-woven trunks made from the regional Koriyanagi, which exemplify the painstaking artistry that defines our products. Each piece embodies the essence of skilled craftsmanship, making them incredibly rare and challenging to replicate in today's market.

We invite you to engage with our products, exploring the fusion of past and present as we look toward the future of Masumi Kobou's creation methods.
