Directors, the flagship shop in Fukuoka's Nagahama district operated by fashion brand "FUJITO," has relocated to a new space just a minute's walk from its previous location. The new store was designed by Koichi Futatsumata of Case-Real, and will also feature the "SHOE STOOL," a 10th-anniversary item from "FUJITO."

Relocation Celebration: A Special Collaboration with ARTS & CRAFTS × FUJITO!



Directors first opened in Nagahama in 2008, and before we knew it, we were approaching our fifth year. In this old-fashioned alley, we were looked after by the proprietors of long-established eateries, and before we realized it, the street became lined with numerous shops.

Here in Nagahama, we are taking another new step forward. Directors has relocated to a spot facing the main street within the same building. As FUJITO's flagship shop, we have created a space where you can experience our worldview even more profoundly. Koichi Futatsumata of Case-Real, an old friend, handled the space design, proposing once again the concept of a gentleman's outfitters as envisioned by Fujito.

To commemorate this relocation, we have created special items—bags, pouches, and wallets—in collaboration with "ARTS & CRAFTS" and "FUJITO." These are special orders featuring navy Chromexcel leather on classic designs, and we believe their timeless aesthetic will ensure they can be used for a long time.

The pouch can be used as an accessory case within a bag, or on its own like a clutch. The wallet uses waxed embroidery thread, spun from five colors of thread into a meringue-like texture. Despite its compact size, it's a versatile wallet that can hold bills, cards, and coins.

This highly practical tote bag is a special order for Directors, made from summer corduroy. With its fine wales, this summer corduroy material is perfect for the upcoming season.

While a single outer pocket is convenient, the interior features numerous pockets, allowing for the storage of everything from pens and keys to pouches and even cigars. All items will be released in limited quantities.
