COH / 孝 は旅と着物と古いものが好きな母娘がつくっています。
着物は日本の美意識の結晶であり
無名の職人達が現代に遺した創造性と手仕事の宝物です。
例えば能登上布や書生絣の本来の美しさを邪魔せず
現代の暮らしに馴染む一着に仕立てる。
袖を通したときに、織りや染めの上質さが静かに伝わる一点ものの服。

COH / 孝 is a mother-daughter label born from a shared love for travel, antique textiles, and the art of the kimono.
The kimono is a crystallization of Japanese aesthetics—a treasure of creativity and craftsmanship left to us by anonymous artisans.
Our mission is to honor the original beauty of textiles,
such as Noto Jofu and Shosei Kasuri, by tailoring them into pieces that seamlessly fit a modern lifestyle.
One-of-a-kind garments where the superior quality of the weave and dye is quietly felt the moment you put them on.

Her time abroad led her back to the "minimalist beauty" found in Japanese craftsmanship and the Mingei (folk crafts).
In 2022, she founded COH / 孝 with her mother, a woman deeply versed in kimono and Noh.
The name COH honors her grandmother Kōko, who ran a Kimono Specialty House and lived with quiet elegance.
On cloth, making, and the things that surround them.
