Japan Project :

Over the years we have worked along side and together with Maru Takeshi a native of London for over twenty five years but son of Japan. So when Maru suggested we work with him and his resources in Japan we had to listen.

2024 we will be developing and producing a collection produced in Kojima and Wakayama Japan.
