Japan Flagship Store "F.CLIO Marunouchi" Opens



This spring, marking five years since F.CLIO's debut in Japan, the F.CLIO Marunouchi flagship store has opened, offering a full line of Italian-made bags, leather goods, and more. To commemorate the opening, a "Custom Order Event" allowing customers to choose models, materials, and colors is being held for a limited time until Sunday, March 23rd.

A Chic Ambiance Evoking a Gentleman's Study



F.CLIO is a handmade bag brand by PELLETTERIA CLIO, established in Milan, Italy, in 1983. Crafted over time by artisans with exceptional sewing skills, the bags are characterized by their beautiful handmade finish. Furthermore, they are highly durable and develop a rich patina with use.


F.CLIO Marunouchi creates a chic atmosphere inspired by a gentleman's study. The interior, exuding the warmth of wood, showcases not only the exquisite classic line (Artigiano Line / LINEA Artigiana) born from traditional Italian craftsmanship, but also, from this season, a new contemporary design line (Moda Line / LINEA Moda) that incorporates current trends and sensibilities.

The store also stocks items previously exclusive to Europe, offering a wide range of sophisticated Italian bags that complement contemporary styling.

Unveiled concurrently with the opening of F.CLIO Marunouchi is the new business bag line, "BRERA ONESTA." The main materials used are high-density woven nylon, offering a refined sheen and texture, excellent durability, and water repellency, alongside premium oiled leather tanned using vegetable tannins in the Tuscany region. We invite you to enjoy the exquisite combination of these materials.

Recommended by Key Personnel at F.CLIO Marunouchi!



Mr. Satoshi Kato, the store manager of F.CLIO Marunouchi, recommends the "REGOLA," an all-leather model featuring a fine, beautiful embossed Saffiano finish. "I would recommend this camel color to the businessmen in Marunouchi. The trend in bag materials is shifting from nylon to leather, and an all-leather bag with a classical, beautiful form elevates any styling. Camel, in particular, is perfect as an accent color for spring. This is a compact size within the Regola series, and the embossed leather, which is relatively resistant to scratches, allows for long-term use without worrying about the bag losing its shape. We have many types of bags not found elsewhere, so please visit us."

Mr. Makoto Minatani, the merchandiser, shares his message: "While the construction reflects that of a long-established factory brand, our design team is comprised of talented individuals. From this season, we are launching the 'Moda Line' as a proposal to showcase a new facet of the brand. For the first collection, we are releasing the 'GELATO' series, inspired by layers of gelato. We are also further evolving and refining the classic business line, 'Artigiano Line.'"

The Gelato series uses original "Wild Leather," which is hand-tumbled multiple times to achieve a supple texture with a subtle grain. The leather, with its matte sheen, is offered in two models and four colors, featuring sophisticated two-tone designs. It is ideal for relaxed, casual styles during off-hours.
