The History of Kuro: Japanese Craftsmanship Meets Luxury Leather Since 2020

Bespoke Luxury, Handmade, Timeless

Welcome to Maison Kuro or simply Kuro, a luxury atelier of handmade leather goods and fashion founded in 2020. Where we seamlessly blend Japanese culture and history with the art of handmade craftsmanship to create exceptional pieces that embody elegance and sophistication.

Inspired by the vibrant tapestry of Japanese traditions, Kuro pays homage to the country's rich heritage and breathtaking landscapes. Each design reflects a fusion of contemporary streetwear aesthetics and timeless high fashion.

Our commitment to the art of handmade leather goods sets us apart. Meticulously crafted by a single master artisan, every Kuro piece is a work of art, infused with meticulous attention to detail and crafted from ethically sourced, premium leathers and materials.

Embracing exclusivity, we produce limited quantities of each collection, ensuring that owning a Kuro piece is an expression of individuality and style. From intricate patterns inspired by traditional motifs to subtle nods to Japan's natural beauty, our collection exudes elegance and sophistication.

In 2025, Kuro opened a new chapter with the launch of fully bespoke denim jeans, crafted exclusively from authentic Japanese selvedge denim by Collect Denim Heads. Each pair is made to measure, using Collect’s revered shuttle-loomed fabrics in a curated selection of weights, textures, and indigo depths. From deep raw black and indigo to lighter vintage-inspired tones, every client preference dictates every detail: color, weight, selvedge finish, hardware, and finishing (raw or one-wash).

Cut and sewn by the same master craftsmen behind our leather goods, every Kuro denim jean carries the identical precision tailoring and obsessive one-stitch-at-a-time construction that defines the house. True made-to-order luxury — no limited runs, no compromise. Only the finest Japanese selvedge, shaped perfectly to you.

A dance of light and shadow, creating art one stitch at a time
