Plate M-11 · 608 stores · 451–600 of 608 · curated ORBIS register
Concept Story brings several fashion and beauty labels together on Bratislava's Lazaretská Street, with design objects sharing the boutique floor. Its independent multi-brand format offers a different starting point from choosing clothing through a single designer's collection. Drykorn adds German fashion centred on contemporary tailoring and clean lines, continuing the brand established in 1996.
What makes great concept stores?
This plate lists 608 shops in 84 countries. Paris has the most with 51, followed by Seoul with 19. Among these shops, 6 describe made-to-order work and 46 sell online, going by their own descriptions.
Ask what the shop makes itself: some concept stores sell their own label and others select other makers, so ask which you are looking at.
Ask whether the stock changes: selections often rotate, so ask when new pieces arrive if you are planning a return visit.
Ask whether it ships: ask whether pieces seen in the shop can be sent abroad or ordered online later.
A concept store can be several places under one roof. At 10 Corso Como in Milan the store, the café and the gallery each have their own contact, so ask the right one about opening times.

Bethge traces to 1977, when Waltraud Bethge opened a small screen-printing workshop and adjoining shop in Hamburg's Eppendorf district, producing greeting cards, wrapping paper and fine office stationery. Screen printing, used to decorate paper goods and later leather pieces, remained part of the operation as it grew, and the company still describes its in-house printing atelier as central to its identity, calling itself a "Manufaktur" rather than a retailer of bought-in goods.
Over the following decades the range expanded from paper products into leather accessories, bags, desk goods, wallets and travel pieces, produced to Bethge's specifications in small workshops. One recurring item, a moon-phase calendar reissued in a new design every year, has been part of the collection for close to three decades. By around 2017, roughly forty years after its founding, the company had grown from its single Eppendorf shop into a small multi-city retailer, with stores in Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich alongside an online shop.
Leadership passed out of the founding generation when Kathleen Nufer, who had known the Hamburg store for about twenty years as a customer, was asked by its founder to take over as managing director, a transition she describes as continuing a house where, in her words, manufacturing "is not a buzzword" but a daily practice.

Tucked into La Punta de Zicatela, Bodeguita Surf Store sells original-design apparel, hats, bags and home decor built around Puerto Escondido's surf culture. Open daily 10am-8pm, it now ships across Mexico and the US.
Best for Original-design apparel, hats, bags and home decor built around Puerto Escondido's surf
Bodeguita Surf Store operates out of La Punta de Zicatela on Avenida Heroes Oaxaquenos in Puerto Escondido, describing itself as "surf, skate and independent design - from Puerto Escondido, Mexico" rather than a straightforward souvenir shop. The catalog runs across apparel and accessories - t-shirts, hats, bags, socks - plus home decor pieces, all built around original in-house designs like the Bodeguita DJ Cap and a Surf Cat Lucky T-Shirt, priced roughly between 250 and 890 Mexican pesos. The brand states four guiding principles on its own site: environmentally conscious practices, designs meant to genuinely delight rather than just sell, meaningful craftsmanship, and a carefully curated selection - a positioning that leans toward a design-label identity built around the town's beach-and-board culture rather than a generic surf-shop model stocking outside brands. The shop keeps daily hours from 10am to 8pm and has expanded shipping beyond its Zicatela storefront to cover both the United States and Mexico, extending its reach well past foot traffic alone. An active Instagram and Facebook presence, plus a newsletter, keep the brand connected to customers between visits, which matters for a shop this dependent on a specific surf destination's seasonal tourist flow.

Bugatti Fashion traces to a contract clothing manufacturer for women's and men's wear founded by Friedrich Wilhelm Brinkmann in Lohne, near Herford, on 6 January 1947. Its success led him to launch his own first collection of coats and trousers the following year. The bugatti brand itself was launched in 1978 as a menswear specialist, adding a women's line in 2011, and later expanding into accessories, shoes, luggage, homewear and underwear from 1990 onward, largely through licensing. Now run by the second and third generation of the Brinkmann family, the company has grown into a significant German clothing group over more than 75 years, operating across a stable of brands that includes bugatti itself alongside Eduard Dressler, Wilvorst and Pikeur.

Cold Spring General Store has combined home goods and pantry provisions with apparel since 2014. Its current shop is at 66 Main Street in Cold Spring, New York, with books, bar accessories and local souvenirs also in its catalogue. The Officer's Quarter at 119 Main Street is a separate men's shop, not another address for the general store.
Best for Hudson Valley provisions, home goods and Cold Spring gifts
Cold Spring General Store opened in 2014 with an emphasis on local makers, small farms and artisans. Its current address is 66 Main Street in Cold Spring, New York. The general store should not be confused with The Officer's Quarter, the separate men's shop that the website promotes at 119 Main Street.
The offer brings together home goods, pantry provisions and apparel, with books and bar accessories also represented alongside outdoor items in the catalogue. Cold Spring souvenirs provide a more location-specific choice: the current selection includes a ceramic mug, a magnet and a cloth market bag. A local name on a product, however, is not proof that it was manufactured in the village.
Chronogram's 2020 shopping report described the business as part gift shop, part boutique and part outdoor outfitter. That remains useful background to its broad general-store format, without guaranteeing any brand or food item mentioned in the older article. Start with the purpose of the purchase: something for the pantry or the home, or a reminder of Cold Spring, rather than expecting a specialist shop devoted to one category.
An independent premium lifestyle store on Lazaretská Street pairing curated fashion, beauty and design across a multi-brand floor. It functions as a Slovak-run boutique for niche labels rather than a chain department store.

Saint-Tropez preppy since 1976 — Daniel Crémieux's French-American collegiate casual wear blending Riviera ease with refined tailoring.
Best for French-American collegiate prep style since 1976
Crémieux is a luxury menswear brand founded in 1976 by Daniel Crémieux in Saint-Tropez, France, born from a personal vision to create the best French interpretation of American preppy style. Crémieux drew inspiration from time spent in London studying British student style, then traveled to New York to study traditional American preppy menswear before returning to France with his design mission. The brand's signature aesthetic fuses American collegiate tradition with Saint-Tropez Riviera spirit, translating into colorful preppy-inspired sweaters, dress shirts, and regimental striped ties. The company emphasizes hand-tailored suits manufactured in Italy and sophisticated beachwear pieces suited to relaxed, refined styling. Starting from its flagship boutique in Saint-Tropez, the brand expanded internationally to major cities including New York (Hudson Yards and Madison Avenue), Boston, Palm Beach, Capri, and London's Savile Row. A significant 2000 partnership with American retailer Dillard's, which operates 280 U.S. stores, broadened accessibility. The brand motto, "Il n'y a pas d'avenir sans passé" (There is no future without the past), reflects its commitment to timeless elegance and heritage craftsmanship.
Founded in 1974 in Asolo, Italy by Alessandro Dal Bello, who trained as a boot-building artisan at Switzerland's Henke ski boot factory before returning to Italy; an early mover in the shift from leather to plastic ski boots.
Best for The Panterra and Lupo ski boots and cabrio-shell construction from Venetian specialists
Dalbello was founded in 1974 in Asolo, near the Dolomites in Italy's Treviso province, by Alessandro Dal Bello. He and his wife Giovanna had spent years in Switzerland learning ski-boot construction as artisans at the Henke boot factory before returning to Italy to start their own line under the Dalbello name. The company's early years coincided with the ski industry's shift from traditional leather boots to injected plastic shells, a transition Dalbello was directly involved in developing rather than adopting late. Through the 1980s the brand built a reputation for precise fit, which helped it expand into international markets beyond Italy. Its current lineup centers on cabrio-shell construction — a two-piece shell design distinct from the more common overlap shell — used across boot lines including the Panterra, for alpine skiers seeking a stiffer, performance fit, and the Lupo, aimed at backcountry and touring skiers who need a boot that walks as well as it skis.

Best for Independent and international fashion on 300 square metres in Chisinau.
DOFAMIN calls itself the first concept store in Chisinau. It occupies 300 square metres in the restored historical centre of the city, on Mihai Eminescu, and it sets out to work as a room rather than a rack. The buying is broad for a shop this size. International names on the list include Dries Van Noten, Comme des Garcons, Coperni, Ami Alexandre Mattiussi, Victoria Beckham, Sunnei, Camper and Fear of God. Alongside them sit labels from closer to home, among them Bevza, Gudu, Gunia Project, Elena Reva, Valery Kovalska, Bobkova and Viktoria Chan. The floor covers clothing, shoes, bags, jewellery, eyewear, perfume, plus a small run of home fragrance and tableware. An outlet section runs beside the main rails. The shop states that its focus is a personalised and emotional shopping experience with its own customer service, and that its mission is to inspire local and international creative communities around sustainability and personal growth. It runs a press and events programme from the same address. For a country with a thin luxury retail history, the list of houses carried here is the notable part. The shop itself makes no claim that the goods are manufactured in Moldova.

Italian sportswear house founded in Perugia in 1959 by tailor Leonardo Servadio, whose initials ('L.S.') gave the brand its name; began in ski trousers, added tennis wear in 1975, and has been owned by UK's Pentland Group since 1987.
Best for Retro tennis style.
Ellesse traces to 19 June 1959, when Leonardo Servadio, a tailor from a Perugia textile-merchant family, opened a small workshop in Umbria. His nickname 'Mantis' and love of mountain sports pushed the label toward ski trousers first. The name itself is a play on his initials, L and S, pronounced the Italian way as 'elle-esse.' By the mid-1960s Ellesse had grown into Italy's second-largest trouser manufacturer. The brand moved into tennis in 1975, developing technical apparel worn on tour, and its semi-palla roundel logo became a fixture of 1980s court and ski style. Ellesse was acquired by the British Pentland Group in 1987, which still owns it today alongside brands like Speedo and Berghaus.
Brazilian denim specialist since 1972—premium jeans, apparel, and accessories mixing leather textures and earthy tones across men's and women's collections.
Best for Brazilian denim, jeans and leather-trimmed casualwear
Ellus was founded in Brazil in 1972 and positions itself as a reference brand in national denim. The label builds its collections around contrasts of leather textures and earthy-toned materials, emphasizing timelessness and aesthetic strength. The company introduced stone-washed jeans to the Brazilian market in 1981, a landmark moment in local fashion retail. Today the brand spans comprehensive menswear and womenswear lines including jeans, t-shirts, shirts, jackets, polos, sweaters, and dresses. An accessories collection adds belts, wallets, bags, and caps. The premium line ELLUS [DLX] serves customers seeking a higher tier. The brand's appeal rests on consistent quality in tailoring and an evolving design sensibility that respects the fundamentals of good denim while accommodating contemporary style.

Fiorucci was founded by Elio Fiorucci in Milan on 31 May 1967, opening his first shop on the Galleria Passarella after a formative 1965 trip to London left him captivated by Carnaby Street. That first store stocked designs by London names like Ossie Clark and Zandra Rhodes, setting the tone for a house that would spend the next two decades translating street energy into mainstream fashion. In 1970, designer Italo Lupi created the brand's defining emblem — two cherubs modeled on Raphael's putti — which became shorthand for Fiorucci's playful, pop sensibility. The 1976 New York store earned a reputation as the 'daytime Studio 54,' drawing Andy Warhol, Madonna and a rotating cast of downtown regulars. Fiorucci's most lasting commercial legacy arrived in 1982, when it pioneered stretch denim using Lycra, effectively inventing the designer-jean category later claimed by bigger houses. Along the way the brand introduced Brazilian thongs, Afghan coats and leopard print to a mass audience years before they became fashion staples elsewhere. The house has passed through several owners since, and its London flagship on Brewer Street closed for good in 2023 following a change of ownership; the cherub logo and disco-era archive now live on primarily through the brand's online store and select department-store points of sale.

Forum was created in the early 1980s by Brazilian designer Tufi Duek, initially focused on denim, and expanded through the decade as the label built its own distribution network and invested in concept stores. It became one of a cluster of Brazilian jeanswear brands - alongside M.Officer, Lee and Zoomp - that defined casual fashion retail in Brazil through the 1980s and 90s. The label's Sao Paulo flagship, often listed as 'Forum Tufi Duek,' is located at Rua Oscar Freire 916 in the Jardim Paulista/Jardins area.

French skiwear house founded in 1952 in Annecy by tailors Georges Ribola and Rene Veyrat, inventors of the fitted 'fuseau' ski trouser; dressed Olympic skiers Jean-Claude Killy and the Goitschel sisters and produced one of the first competition ski suits in 1966.
Best for Ski alpine polos; French alpine skiwear
Fusalp was founded in 1952 on the shores of Lake Annecy by two tailors, Georges Ribola and Rene Veyrat, both avid skiers who set out to design a better alternative to the era's conventional ski trousers. Their answer was the 'fuseau,' a slim, body-conscious ski pant that gave the brand its name. At the 1966 world ski championships in Portillo, Chile, Ribola and Veyrat produced one of the first true competition ski suits. Fusalp built its profile through champion athletes including the Goitschel sisters and Jean-Claude Killy. In recent years the brand has been repositioned as a luxury label under the Lacoste family.

Best for Wool coats
Harris Wharf London was launched in 2010 by siblings Giulia and Aldo Acchiardi, who design the collection in London while manufacturing it in their family's factory in Turin, Piedmont. The factory dates to 1928, when the Acchiardi grandparents used it to produce ladies' gloves, before the family later moved into garment tailoring. The brand's identity rests on British design paired with an Italian production line the family has controlled for close to a century, applied mainly to outerwear: unlined, unfussy coats and jackets. The company is stocked through a network of multi-brand retailers across Europe.

Hiltl was founded in 1955 in Sulzbach-Rosenberg, Bavaria, by master tailor Fritz Hiltl together with his wife Hedwig and, in support, his brother Erhard and six apprentices. Output began small, around 20 pairs a day, but grew after Fritz Hiltl's first collection impressed trade buyers at Cologne Men's Fashion Week. A new, more modern factory opened on Asamstrasse in Sulzbach-Rosenberg in October 1968, and by 1980 the company employed 370 people producing roughly 2,000 pairs of trousers daily. After Fritz Hiltl's death in 1994, Hedwig Hiltl led the company's push into markets beyond Europe. Nord Holding acquired the company in 2016; it was renamed HILTL Hosen-Manufaktur GmbH in 2020.

Best for Custom cowboy hats and Western wear
Kemo Sabe is a Western outfitter that Tom and Nancy Yoder opened on Thanksgiving Day 1990 in a 400 square foot shop in Snowmass Village, Colorado. They had two employees and a mixed stock of Western goods, and sales in the first month came to 1,281 dollars. The Basalt-based couple moved the shop to downtown Aspen in 1993. They built it around hats shaped and finished for each customer, along with boots and buckles. In 2015, for the store's silver anniversary, the company launched Grit, a house line of handcrafted hats and accessories. Wendy Kunkle, then general manager and chief designer, hosted a Victoria's Secret production team that borrowed hats and chaps from the flagship for its 2017 holiday campaign. In 2020 the Yoders sold the company to Wendy Kunkle and her brother Bobby Kunkle. Under the Kunkles Kemo Sabe added fine jewelry and grew to 150 employees. Stores opened in Vail, Jackson, Park City and Round Top. Hats are made at the company's own factory in Gainesville, Texas, which also produces buckles. A boot factory acquired in El Paso, Texas makes the house cowboy boots. Aspen Sojourner visited the flagship in 2017 and WWD reported on the expansion in 2023, noting hats worn by Jeff Bezos and Beyonce.
Originally founded in 1986 near Parma as Wonderland srl, a sportswear manufacturer producing jackets and raincoats, the label was renamed Kired after joining the Kiton group; leather and shearling pieces were added in the 1990s and a new production plant opened in Collecchio in 2008.
Best for Reversible polos, technical; Technical outerwear, reversible
Kired's manufacturing roots go back to 1986, when a production plant on the outskirts of Parma was established under the name Wonderland srl, making sportswear: jackets, trench coats and raincoats. During the 1990s the range expanded to include leather garments and shearling pieces alongside the fabric outerwear. The company was subsequently acquired by Kiton, the Neapolitan tailoring house, and the brand was renamed Kired, operating within the Kiton group as its outerwear-focused label. In 2008 a new manufacturing plant opened in Collecchio, near Parma, designed with attention to working conditions for its employees. Kired's collections remain centered on outerwear made with Kiton-level material sourcing — cashmere, silk and fine wool — and the brand is particularly known for reversible coats and jackets, including reversible cashmere pieces, that let a single garment function as two different finishes.

Open since 2014 at 109 Calle Fortaleza in Old San Juan, Mariel Arts and Crafts stocks larimar and shell jewelry, wooden masks, Wayuu bags and musical instruments from Puerto Rican and wider Caribbean and Latin American artisans.
Best for Owner Mariel's personally curated selection of Caribbean and Latin American craft
Mariel Arts and Crafts has run since 2014 at 109 Calle Fortaleza, one of Old San Juan's principal artisan-shopping streets, positioning itself as a gift shop built around Puerto Rican and wider Caribbean and Latin American craft rather than generic souvenirs. The inventory spans handcrafted jewelry made with larimar, amethyst and shell, wall decor including wooden masks and ceramics, musical instruments like maracas and guiros, and Wayuu bags and accessories sourced from the wider Latin American artisan tradition.
The shop is run day to day by its namesake owner, Mariel, whose hands-on approach to customer service, including reportedly checking her own warehouse stock to fulfill a customer's specific request when the shop floor didn't have it, has become part of its local reputation among regular visitors. Alongside the crafts, the shop stocks games and toys such as dominoes and wooden pieces, rounding out a selection built around bringing home tangible pieces of Puerto Rican and broader Caribbean culture. It operates both as a walk-in storefront in Old San Juan and as an online retailer shipping internationally, serving customers well beyond the street where it started.
Launched in 1980 within the Max Mara Group by Achille Maramotti and named for his great-grandmother, Marina Rinaldi was one of the first fashion labels built specifically for women above standard sample sizes, applying the same tailoring, fabric and construction standards as the group's mainline collections.
Best for Elegant plus-size tailoring.
Marina Rinaldi was created in 1980 by Achille Maramotti, founder of the Max Mara Group, as a dedicated line for women wearing sizes above the standard range then served by mainstream fashion houses — at the time, essentially no established fashion company was designing specifically for this customer. The label is named after Maramotti's great-grandmother. Headquartered, like the rest of the Max Mara Group, in Reggio Emilia, Italy, Marina Rinaldi's founding premise was that larger-size dressing should not mean lower design ambition: garments were cut, constructed and finished to the same standard as the group's core Max Mara collections, using the same quality of fabric and color development rather than simplified or resized versions of existing patterns. The brand expanded steadily through the 1980s, adding the Persona diffusion line in 1985, Marina Sport in 1986, and a dedicated knitwear line in 1987, building out a fuller wardrobe rather than a single signature silhouette. Decades on, Marina Rinaldi remains part of the privately held Max Mara Group and continues to operate as a distinct label with its own collections, boutiques and e-commerce, sold via marinarinaldi.com and department-store concessions internationally, while sharing the group's Reggio Emilia design and production infrastructure.

The brand synthesizes high-quality contemporary menswear with streetwear aesthetics, combining functional design and distinctive detailing. Marshall Artist initially gained prominence through innovative outerwear—jackets and over-shirts featuring unconventional dyeing techniques—while blending terrace-wear silhouettes with refined tailoring. The brand's philosophy centers on innovation and craftsmanship, merging classic styles with modern aesthetics. Marshall Artist has attracted high-profile wearers across sports and music, including David Beckham, Kasabian, and Kendrick Lamar. The label remains a significant player in UK menswear, known for bold styling and its approach to casual wear that respects heritage while embracing contemporary edge.
Italian trouser house founded in 1974 by Giorgio Martini in Carrara, Tuscany, building on his father Vilmo's tailoring workshop; known for chinos and cargo pants influenced by South American military uniforms.
Best for Military-heritage chinos cut with Tuscan polish from an Italian trouser house.
Mason's was founded in 1974 by Giorgio Martini, whose family's tailoring roots go back to his father Vilmo Martini's respected pattern-making workshop in Marina di Carrara, a Tuscan town known for its marble quarries. A trip to South America, where Giorgio Martini encountered garments worn by Colombian liberation-army fighters, shaped the rugged, functional aesthetic of the brand's first collection. The company remains family-run, with Martini, now company president, working alongside his sons Nicola, Vilmo, and Giuseppe; its headquarters is registered in Carrara. The brand name is a nod to San Francisco's Powell-Mason cable car line rather than to any Italian place name.
Italian fashion house founded 1992 in Veneto—contemporary tailored clothing in menswear and womenswear, emphasizing handcrafted precision and clean-lined design.
Best for Clean-lined Veneto fashion built on quiet fabric intelligence.
Mauro Grifoni was born in Milan in 1964 and founded his eponymous label in 1992 in Caldogno, near Vicenza in the Veneto region. The launch began with a small shirt-tailoring operation and his partner Ilaria Sesso. The Veneto location places the brand within Italy's storied textile and clothing manufacturing traditions. The company's founding philosophy emphasized obsessive craftsmanship—handmade shirts as the foundation for expanding into broader menswear and womenswear collections. The contemporary aesthetic balances traditional tailoring discipline with modern proportioning. Current offerings span jackets, knitwear, shirts, jeans, pants, dresses, skirts, and accessories across seasonal collections. The brand positions itself as 'entry to luxury'—premium pricing and quality construction targeting discerning customers who value sophisticated, well-made clothing. Mauro Grifoni appeals to buyers seeking Italian-made precision without the stratospheric pricing of established heritage houses. The company maintains registered operations in Pozzonovo, Italy (under GGZ S.r.l.), continuing the model of production grounded in northeastern Italian textile infrastructure.

Maxfield opened in 1969 under the name Maxfield Bleu, founded by Tommy Perse next door to the Troubadour music club in West Hollywood, and quickly became known for dressing musicians and artists and for theatrical window displays involving coffins and hanging mannequins. In the mid-1970s the store was among the first in the US to carry European and Japanese designers such as Armani, Comme des Garcons and Yohji Yamamoto.

MONOM was born in 2016 in Cluj-Napoca from the interest of founder Georgiana Ciceo in minimalist jewellery and geometry in all its forms. Ciceo trained as an architect and became a jewellery designer in 2016, taking a line from Constantin Brancusi, that architecture is livable sculpture, as her starting point. Her pieces are conceived as small architectures to be worn. Each design begins the way a building does, with a sketch and a 3D model, and sometimes a paper mock-up, before it becomes metal. What started as a one woman workshop has grown into a small team. The jewellery is made entirely by that team in MONOM's own workshops in Cluj-Napoca, from concept and prototyping through casting and modelling to the last details. Stock is kept small and replenished according to sales to avoid waste. Pieces are worked in Argentium Silver 960 under an antitarnish coating or in 18k gold vermeil, a layer of at least 2.5 microns of gold over the same silver. Collections carry names such as DAVA, from the Dacian word for a fortified settlement, and AURORA, a study in light and simplicity. The shop stands at David Ferenc street no. 7 in the centre of Cluj-Napoca, with a second point of sale at the AlbAlb shop in Bucharest.

Japanese down-gear maker founded in 1941 as Yokota Sewing in Shiga Prefecture; began making sleeping bags for a major outdoor brand in 1988, adopted the Nanga name in 1995, and launched its Aurora down jacket in 2003.
Best for Down jackets
Nanga began in 1941 as Yokota Sewing, a futon-making business founded by Akira Yokota in Shiga Prefecture, with its first factory at Motoichiba in Maibara City. The company spent decades as a contract manufacturer, expanding in 1950 to handle sewing work for major futon makers. Its shift toward outdoor gear came in 1988, when a major Japanese outdoor brand commissioned it to produce sleeping bags — work that drew on the same down-filling and sewing expertise built up in the futon trade. In 1995 the company adopted the name Nanga, after Nanga Parbat, one of the Himalayas' most difficult peaks, signaling its move into serious outdoor equipment. Down jackets followed in 2002, and by 2003 Nanga had introduced its Aurora Down Jacket, the model that established the brand's reputation for down insulation outside Japan. The company has since collaborated with other Japanese labels, including supplying down jackets developed jointly with the Tokyo apparel brand Natal Design, extending its futon-era sewing know-how into contemporary outdoor and streetwear collections.

Norwegian outdoor-gear house founded 1929 by Jorgen Jorgensen as J.J. Norrona Sporting Goods and Leather Factory; still family-run four generations later, headquartered in Lysaker near Oslo.
Best for Norwegian mountain, bold; Mountain wear
Norrona was founded in 1929 by Jorgen Jorgensen, who started J.J. Norrona Sporting Goods and Leather Factory to make outdoor gear suited to Norway's harsh terrain. The company folded in 1933 during difficult times but Jorgensen restarted it within the year. Four generations later, Norrona is still family-operated, now headquartered in Lysaker, Norway. Each Norrona product line is traditionally named after a Norwegian place associated with its intended use - the lofoten collection, for instance, is built for freeride skiing and takes its name from the Lofoten islands, but is a product-line name rather than the company's origin.

Now run by the third generation of the Nugnes family, the boutique represents roughly 250 international fashion and luxury brands.

Onao has worked washi in Yamanashi's thousand-year-old Ichikawa Daimon papermaking district since around 1960, incorporating in 1974. Beyond shoji paper, its 2008 SIWA line with designer Naoto Fukasawa turns tear-resistant Naoron paper into bags and everyday objects.
Best for SIWA crumple-textured paper goods and traditional shoji paper
Onao works from Ichikawa Daimon, a district of Yamanashi Prefecture with roughly a thousand years of washi papermaking history, tracing its own operation back to around 1960, when the district's hand-papermaking shifted toward mechanized production, before incorporating as its present company in 1974. Alongside its traditional line — shoji paper for sliding doors, celebration papers for seasonal use, writing papers and stationery — the company keeps a research arm developing new paper materials, including Naoron, a tear-resistant, water-resistant washi that stays soft and pliable and gains texture when crumpled. In 2008, Onao paired that material development with design, launching SIWA (紙和) with industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa: bags, wallets and everyday objects built from Naoron rather than conventional paper stock, aimed at broadening what a "paper product" can be beyond stationery and interior fittings. The company also collaborates on regional paper projects with makers in Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal, Bhutan and the Philippines, extending its materials research outward rather than keeping washi development confined to Japan. On site, Onao keeps an all-paper tea room, Jokuan, at its Yamanashi headquarters — a working demonstration, inside the company's own building, of how far its core material can be pushed.

Fidenza-based Italian fashion house founded in 1986 by Pietro Negra and Cristina Rubini, later joined by daughters Cecilia and Caterina. Known for the Love Bag; built a 2010 'Green Factory' headquarters designed by architect Guido Canali.
Best for Love Bags and blazers.
Pinko was founded in 1986 in Fidenza, in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, by husband-and-wife team Pietro Negra and Cristina Rubini. The label built its early identity around 'instant fashion' — releasing new flash collections on a near-weekly cycle to respond quickly to changing demand, rather than working strictly to the traditional twice-yearly runway calendar. That approach helped the brand expand quickly beyond its original core customer of young women, and Pinko eventually grew to more than 800 points of sale worldwide, opening its first Milan flagship store in 2006. The Negra-Rubini family was later joined in the business by their daughters, Cecilia and Caterina. In 2010 the company completed a new 15,000-square-metre headquarters in Fidenza, designed by architect Guido Canali and built around a 'Green Factory' sustainable-design concept. Pinko's most recognized product is the Love Bag, a top-handle leather bag whose particular popularity in the Chinese market has been widely credited with driving the brand's international growth over the past decade. The company remains privately controlled by the founding family and continues to be headquartered in Fidenza, where design and part of production are based.

Roberto Verino was born Manuel Roberto Mariño in 1945 in Verín, a town in Ourense province, Galicia, where his family ran a leather-goods manufacturing company. He studied in Paris before returning to Spain in 1967 to run the family business, and designed collections for the French label Billy Bonny before launching his own name, in 1982, as a fashion house. In 1983 he opened his first freestanding store, in Paris at 33 Rue de Grenelle, making him one of the first Spanish designers — after Balenciaga — to hold a retail address in the city. His work has been recognized across Spanish fashion institutions in the following decades, including the Aguja de Oro award in 1992, three T de Telva awards (1991, 1994, 1995), the Prix d'Excellence from Marie Claire in 2002, and Spain's Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes in 2008. The house remains associated with tailored, feminine ready-to-wear built from careful fabric sourcing, continuing a design line traceable back to Verino's original family leather-goods trade.

The company moved into retail in 1947 with its first stores on Collins Street and Toorak Road, Melbourne, and was renamed Sportscraft in 1948 as it shifted toward tailored casualwear.

In 1979, while still working alongside her parents, she opened her own 16-square-metre shop selling designer shoes and bags, with Prada's fabric bags among her first successes. A larger womenswear boutique in Piazza Dante, designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi, followed in 1986. Over four decades the business grew into a 1,200-square-metre luxury store spanning 22 shop windows in central Bergamo, now carrying menswear, kidswear and accessories alongside a 100-square-metre Dior shop-in-shop and concessions for Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Gucci, Alaia, Chloe and Celine. To mark 40 years in business in 2019, Fausti added Terrazza Fausti, a restaurant and lounge bar with a 600-square-metre terrace overlooking the historic center.
