A Superb Collaboration Between Japanese and Chrome Hearts Artisans
CHROME HEARTS FUKUOKA has opened in the Daimyo district of Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, an area known for its unique atmosphere where fashion and culture intertwine, with a scattering of domestic and international brand shops, select stores, independent record shops, galleries, vintage clothing stores, and eateries.
The first floor offers a wide selection from accessories to apparel, while the second floor provides a luxurious and special space for relaxed consultations on custom orders like wedding bands. The store's concept of "Classic," "Clean," and "Radical Chic" is fully expressed, offering a weighty and special atmosphere characteristic of Chrome Hearts.
Japanese artisans, who have been involved since the opening of "CHROME HEARTS TOKYO" in Aoyama in '99, created the base, including floors finished with walnut imported from Los Angeles. The installation of casings (frames fitted around openings for windows and doors) and ebony, the creation of carved stair railings, and the placement of furniture were handled by Chrome Hearts artisans who flew in from LA. Approximately 15 artisans stayed for about a month, meticulously finishing every detail.
The space, crafted with mutual respect and the display of craftsmanship by both Japanese and Chrome Hearts artisans, welcomed a large number of fans from its opening day.
A Place for Connection with Kyushu Fans
The luxurious and special space on the second floor of CHROME HEARTS FUKUOKA, furnished with facing sofas and tables, offers a "concierge-like environment for receiving various personal orders, including wedding bands."
The store also plans to host exhibitions and personal order events in the future.
Focus on Items Easy to Incorporate into Your Everyday Style!
The first floor, featuring accessories and apparel, offers a selection comparable to larger stores. The lineup of colorful bags and wallets is particularly appealing to women. "We're seeing more women confidently wearing voluminous jewelry, so we plan to focus on items that women can easily incorporate as fashion pieces," they stated.
