Founded in 2013 by Takayuki Kijima, a protégé of legendary Japanese milliner Akio Hirata, Kijima Takayuki bridges the gap between haute couture technique and modern, everyday wearability. While the brand officially launched under its current name in 2013, it is the direct evolution of Kijima’s previous label, Coeur, which he started in 1995 after honing his skills in Hirata’s atelier. This lineage informs the brand’s unique philosophy: hats should not be stiff, standalone sculptures but soft, integrated components of a total look.
