SOU・SOU, a textile brand from Kyoto (Representative Director: Go Hayashibara), will relocate and reopen its "SOU・SOU Tabi" store on July 16, 2026 (Thu) to commemorate its 23rd anniversary.
Tabi footwear, a masterpiece of Japanese footwear combining tradition, functionality, and design. As the world's only domestic tabi footwear brand, SOU・SOU Tabi offers tabi footwear made with original textiles, as well as everyday tabi socks. The new store, designed by SOU・SOU founding member and architect Hisanobu Tsujimura, features an impressive exterior inspired by tabi footwear and a space where visitors can experience the brand's world. The new store will continue to deliver the charm of "tabi footwear," traditional Japanese footwear, to more people.
