About VOUIVRE

Something to stay close to you, for years to come.

コンセプト

CONCEPT

We want you to enjoy it for as long as possible.
We pursue a craft that, without the slightest compromise, draws out the full appeal of the material.
Through works created with our whole soul, we hope to convey the Japanese culture of treasuring one's possessions. To that end, we will continue to create pieces worthy of being inhabited by the divine.

命を、最後まで

To the Last

A single hide has different characters depending on the part. At VOUIVRE, we use only the very finest of these.

Yet beautiful parts still remain. Rather than letting them go to waste, they are reborn as works for our other brand, Rhumore.

To make the most of the leather granted to us by a single animal, down to the very last—this, we believe, is our responsibility in facing the life that was given.

伝統を、未来へ

Tradition into the Future

The gamaguchi was born in Europe more than 200 years ago and has long been cherished in Japan.

"Learning from the past to discover the new."

We breathe new value into this fine old tradition, pursuing designs for the next generation.
So that it may stay by your side across generations, we devote ourselves—through repeated research and prototyping—to a one-of-a-kind craft.

日本の技術

Japanese Technology

We are committed to using clasps made in Japan.
Japan's clasp artisans have dwindled and their craft has declined.
As the number of people we call artisans falls, so too does the number of people capable of creating something truly beautiful.

"We want to protect the culture and craftsmanship that are Japan's pride."

In Japanese leather craft, there exist techniques and tools that have now been lost. We want to cherish the beautiful techniques that only the Japanese can achieve, and to carry them on through handwork that draws on wisdom and skill.
