PARIS-MEETS-TOKYO
In 1995, Gildas Loaëc opened the record shop “Street Sounds” in Paris. It was there that he met his future partner Masaya Kuroki. During a founding trip to Japan, the two young entrepreneurs came up with the idea of launching a lifestyle brand that wasn’t confined to one discipline. “We wanted to build a business that reflected our Art de Vivre: Kitsuné, is above all story of passions, ambitions and the desire to start doing.”
THE FOX LOGO
Kitsuné is the Japanese word for fox, a symbol of versatility. Legend has it, the fox possesses the power to change its appearance, just like Kitsuné knows how to adapt its repertoire according to inspiration. Since the brand’s inception, this mythical animal has been Kitsuné’s signature logo, fluidly working its way in, here and there – and of course, shifting faces along the way.
CAFÉ KITSUNÉ & KITSUNÉ MUSIQUE
Kitsuné offers a unique, inspirational Art de Vivre blending a fashion brand (Maison Kitsuné), music label (Kitsuné Musique) and cafés, roasteries, bars and restaurants (Café Kitsuné). With 25 cafés in the most revered cities worldwide, Café Kitsuné has achieved cult status amongst specialty coffee lovers around the world; while music label Kitsuné Musique has guided now unmissable artists such as Parcels, Two Door Cinema Club, Digitalism and more by its passion for talent scouting.
