ABOUT

KIKIITO is the eponymous brand of a London based designer Kiki Ito.

Growing up in Japan and influenced by her father, a contemporary landscape architect, She was fascinated by the concept and simplicity behind contemporary art and architecture, this philosophy she brings into her own collection of limited productions, where every piece remains authentic and personal.

During her early career, Kiki apprenticed with Harry Mattes, a leading couture handbag artisan whose A-list clientele included Bruce Oldfield, Jasper Conran and the Royal family. During this time she acquired the mastery of leather crafting before working for renowned brands such as Globe-Trotter.

Today, all KIKIITO bags and accessories are skilfully handmade in London, respecting traditional artisanship and production methods to minimise material waste.

“I want to envelop the zeitgeist edge of ultra-modern London looks with soft calf leathers, pay homage to the traditional Japanese aesthetic of simplicity and delicate equivalence while giving it a contemporary boldness.

I want my bags to exude confidence and the personality of the individual.”

Kiki Ito

All our pieces are handmade in our London studio following a traditional craftsmanship process; we produce limited quantities and use careful methods to minimise waste and maintain high quality levels.
