H.P.FRANCE Mint Kobe Store Opening

H.P.FRANCE is excited to announce the grand opening of its newest store, H.P.FRANCE Mint Kobe, located in the vibrant Sannomiya district of Kobe, Japan. Set to open on May 29, 2026, this innovative retail space promises to deliver a fresh perspective on fashion, jewelry, and lifestyle products handpicked from both domestic and international creators.

A Significant Step in Kobe's Sannomiya

For H.P.FRANCE, Sannomiya has been a cornerstone of its operations in the Kansai region, marking the brand's initial expansion into this key area during the 1990s.

With its unique take on curation, this store will embody the essence of H.P.FRANCE’s journey thus far, paving the way for future endeavors.

Design Concept: Craft Meets Contemporary

The store’s design elegantly balances the craftsmanship that H.P.FRANCE holds dear with a modern and airy atmosphere. This updated space draws on classic details and textures while embracing a bright and inviting aesthetic. It successfully merges luxury with accessibility, inviting customers to explore without feeling overshadowed by opulence. The juxtaposition of heaviness and lightness, along with tradition and modernity, creates a harmonious environment that encapsulates the brand’s future direction.
