At the Salon de Shimaji Select Shop corner, we are now introducing a new scarf brand called ikA.K/Ikkaku.


This scarf brand was founded in Berlin in 2010 by designer Aki Kimura, and later moved its base to Japan in 2017. The brand name ikA.K/Ikkaku is a combination of Kimura's initials spelled backward and the brand's symbol, the unicorn.


The collection currently being presented is a fusion of memories and feelings from Berlin, where I based my creative work from 2008, and my feelings since returning to Japan in 2017.


Shimaji: "The scarves here are so beautiful! Kimura's expressive abilities are amazing!"

It seems Ms. Shimaji was instantly captivated by the beautiful scarf.

Shimaji: "If you find something this beautiful, buy it without hesitation. That way, your sense of style will be refined more and more."
