Kimono and Obi Upcycle Brand 'Relier81' to Hold Pop-Up Store at Sogo Yokohama from May 26

Relier81, a brand dedicated to upcycling kimonos and obis under the concept of 'Transforming Japanese traditions into new forms', will host a pop-up store at Sogo Yokohama for seven days from Tuesday, May 26 to Monday, June 1, 2026.

At this pop-up store, in addition to the brand's staple shoes, they will offer a '2way bag' in spring-like colors. The highly popular stoles will also be available in a new lineup using a variety of kimono fabrics. By casually incorporating traditional black-dyed silk kimono fabric into basic colored materials, these stoles add a touch of glamour to any coordinate. They can be used seasonlessly, and the button specifications allow for diverse styling arrangements. Being unisex, they are also perfect as gifts.

Furthermore, in the apparel line, a 'Frill Blouse' that gorgeously colors the area around the face, and an 'A-line Long Skirt' boldly featuring kimono fabric at the waist will make their debut. The delicate details that sway with every movement and the elegant luster are impressive, creating a beautiful appearance even when worn as a setup.

Items that are truly one-of-a-kind in the world, each with a different expression depending on the kimono or obi used, will be available. Please take this opportunity to enjoy an encounter with a special piece just for you.
