Founded in 1997 by Yasuko Furuta, a designer who studied at ESMOD in Paris and began her career in costume design, Toga is a Tokyo-based label built on a complex, experimental approach to fashion. Furuta creates for what she calls a 'complicated woman,' dismantling conventions by blending disparate elements. The brand is known for its intellectual yet wearable designs that merge Japanese craftsmanship with avant-garde silhouettes and a recurring fascination with Western Americana, most visible in the signature metal buckles and hardware that adorn its popular shoes and accessories. Toga Pulla, the brand’s pre-collection line, translates the mainline’s conceptual spirit into more accessible, everyday pieces, and has become a cult favorite for its statement footwear.
