Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1st Floor = Seasonal Goods & Hats will be hosting a promotion for Kagawa Gloves, a brand born in Kagawa Prefecture, which boasts a 130-year history as a glove-making region. From November 20th (Wed) to 26th (Tue), they will be introducing a new kind of glove that combines functionality and fashion.


Kagawa Gloves is a brand created by "1888 Glove Lab," a glove production project formed by companies that manufacture gloves with the high skill and dedication of craftsmen cultivated over many years in Kagawa Prefecture, which boasts the largest glove production area in Japan since 1888. As the name "Lab" suggests, they take a broad look at materials and techniques and develop cutting-edge and creative products that pave the way for the future of hands and gloves.

The Fall/Winter 2019 collection is based on the concept of "fashion x functionality x technique," combining details used in highly functional scenes such as "work" and "fireman" with fashion, and developing gloves that are more suitable for urban use. Particularly noteworthy is the experimental collaboration model with "Kromatafor," a new type of leather that changes color with heat, from ECCO , a Scandinavian shoe brand known for creating its own unique leather.


This promotion features a wide variety of gloves from Kagawa Gloves' 2019 Autumn/Winter collection, primarily made from leathers such as cowhide, sheepskin, and deerskin, as well as wool for casual wear. This is a special opportunity to try out the different textures and find your favorite material.

Furthermore, a limited edition model of the "Chromata Fur Leather" gloves, a collaboration with ECCO , will be available exclusively at Mitsukoshi Isetan. Why not experience the unique world of Kagawa Gloves and incorporate its functional aspects into a fashionable design, creating a new kind of glove that can be worn as part of your fashion this season?
