The Maison Kitsune Tokyo store merges a traditional shopping forum with a cafe. This way you can drink and shop simultaneously. The unconventional store merges a Parisian storefront design with Tokyo flair. The label hired French architectural firm FHC to design and create the sensational store.
Maison Kitsune is a relatively young label. It stems back to 2010 and has been expanding ever since. Its latest venture was to open a store in the heart of Tokyo. The beautiful and massive space features Parisian cedar parquet floors, a large indoor and outdoor cafe seating area, tailor-made colored tatami and custom Tokyo bamboo sliding doors. The fabulous store is the perfect hybrid between two rich cultures.
