A Full Lineup of Items Brimming with Craftsmanship



After joining Beams in 1994, Katsuhito In excelled as a skilled sales associate in the men's clothing department. His customer service, informed by a deep understanding of not only apparel but also fashion culture, attracted a devoted following. "Fermelist Beams," opened in 2003 to return to the roots of select shops, remains a gathering place for celebrities and creators to this day.

"The General Store" is the new men's shop curated by In. With the theme "A Store with Craftsmen and Poets," it offers a curated selection of essential fashion items, from leather goods and accessories to cosmetics and grooming products.
