KUON" is a brand that continues to create sustainable products by reinterpreting traditional Japanese materials and techniques in a modern way.

A pop-up store featuring the multifaceted craftsmanship of "Quon" is now being held at the "Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building".

As a highlight of this year's event, a limited edition of 14 pairs of shoes with stitched stitching on the brand's representative models will be on sale, made possible with the full cooperation of SUICOKE.
