Crazy Pig Designs Opens First Overseas Flagship Store in Tokyo


CRAZY PIG DESIGNS


An experience akin to being in the UK flagship store
Offering unprecedented services unique to a flagship store


Inspiration drawn from music, comics, old European architecture, paintings, and more, is sublimated through exceptional metalworking techniques into designs that are bold yet delicate, hard yet playful.

Jewelry loved by rock stars and celebrities, finally in Japan


'CRAZY PIG DESIGNS' opened on March 4, 1992, by Armand & Janet Seal in London's Covent Garden. Currently, the collection of over 1100 designs spans a wide range, including skulls that possess a bold yet delicate beauty, animals with a realistic yet comically arranged charm, Tudor-style ornaments and crosses with elegant curves, and stones featuring large, high-quality natural gems. All of these pieces are finished by hand by skilled artisans in the workshop located in the store's basement, a style that has remained consistent for 25 years since its founding.

The iconic skull rings of Crazy Pig are favored by numerous celebrities, including the late Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead), Metallica, Billy Gibbons (ZZ TOP), and Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick). In recent years, they have also appeared in the films 'Harry Potter' and 'Transformers' series. Furthermore, the skull ring, symbolizing modern mortality, is part of the collection at the British Museum.

Hiroshi Shimizukoshi, who represents the Japanese branch, has extensive experience in various roles at the UK flagship store, including jewelry finishing, stone setting, in-store sales, and online customer support. 'CRAZY PIG DESIGNS TOKYO' aims to provide an unparalleled customer experience, themed around 'an experience akin to being in the UK flagship store,' offering a rich product lineup and custom order services. Pay close attention to the store's interior and exterior design, which strongly reflects the atmosphere of the London flagship.

A message from founders Armand & Janet Seal

For the past 25 years, Crazy Pig Designs' jewelry has been widely loved by everyone from celebrities worldwide to the general public. Among them, the support from our Japanese fans is the most passionate in the world. However, it has been difficult for us to showcase more of our creations or offer bespoke services to you in the Japanese market until now. But we have finally resolved this situation. That is the opening of the Crazy Pig Designs Japan flagship store. On Saturday, November 25, 2017, Japanese fans will be able to enjoy our designs, products, and services as if they were visiting our London flagship store. Crazy Pig Designs Tokyo is finally becoming a reality. I personally cannot wait! Everyone, please come and visit Crazy Pig Designs Tokyo.

Armand Seal
Founder & Designer, Crazy Pig Designs

I am delighted to celebrate the opening of the Crazy Pig Designs Japan flagship store. The Japanese people have always been our most passionate and loyal customers.

Thank you to all our Japanese customers. Happy shopping!
