ORIO, a cultural brand from Fukuoka, will hold a POPUP SHOP at the Topic Stage, B1F of the Main Building at Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin Store from Wednesday, April 8, 2026, to Tuesday, April 14, 2026. This event will feature products developed in collaboration with production areas across Japan, such as Hakata-ori, a traditional craft of Fukuoka, along with Fukuoka canvas and Himeji leather. We propose a new way of manufacturing that reinterprets regional cultures and industries rooted in the area as contemporary attire.

From Hakata-ori as a Starting Point, Bringing Culture into Everyday Attire ORIO is a brand themed around connecting the dyeing and weaving cultures and traditional industries that thrive throughout Japan with contemporary life. The concept is: "The memory of weaving in your everyday life."

We aim not only to preserve Japan's traditional culture as something special but also to reinterpret it in a form that can be naturally experienced in everyday wear.

While engaging with the background and structural beauty of dyeing and weaving cultures, including Hakata-ori, we develop products that blend seamlessly into modern lifestyles.

Manufacturing Beyond Production Areas, Centered Around Hakata-ori ORIO's distinctive feature is its collaborative process with production areas across Japan, starting with Hakata-ori. The following products will be featured at this pop-up event:

Hakata-ori × T-shirt / Long Sleeve T-shirt These are signature items of ORIO, using scraps of Hakata-ori obi fabric as motifs. The material used is high-quality mercerized jersey made from 40-count double-ply yarn, and the pattern is an original design drawn from scratch. The product is finished with attention to material, silhouette, and sewing, with the premise of being worn for a long time in daily life. The design of Hakata-ori quietly resides in the T-shirt, a staple of modern fashion. This subtlety is the core of this product.
