"Isetan Seed" treats each item that serves as a springboard for discovering Isetan Shinjuku as a seed, aiming to be a shop where customers can pluck seeds that will create new connections within the diverse forest of items that is Isetan Shinjuku. "Isetan Leaf" treats each item that gathers depending on the season and timing as a leaf that changes color, expressing the changing seasons and times on the department store's ground floor. To commemorate the first anniversary of the opening of these two concept shops, we are presenting a collaboration project with "KISS, TOKYO."
With fashion, story, and sustainability as keywords, the two have teamed up to curate fashion items. We will shine a light on the stories of brands that have built their history in Tokyo, updating them with ideas, ingenuity, and the power of design, and circulating them into the future as "future TOKYO classics."
What is KISS, TOKYO?
"KISS, TOKYO" is an independent project initiated by art director Tetsuya Chihara (Lemon Life Co., Ltd.) and regional charm discovery producer Shinya Akiyama (SUPER MARKIT Co., Ltd.) to show love for the people and city close to us.
Inspired by "I (heart) NY," the logo replaces KISS with a kiss mark, expressing love for Tokyo. While some people around the world kiss as a greeting, people in Japan find kissing a little embarrassing. However, by deliberately promoting "KISS, TOKYO," we hope to express our love for the people and city, and to convey a welcome to those visiting Tokyo.

TOKIO HAT — Japan's first hat manufacturing company, established by Eiichi Shibusawa
TOKIO has been making high-quality hats for over 120 years since its founding HAT was founded in 1889 (Meiji 22) as Japan's first hat factory by Eiichi Shibusawa, a businessman who built the foundations of Japan's modern economic society. Later, in 1892 (Meiji 25), the Tokyo Hat Company was established, which became the cornerstone of the company's development and led to the blossoming of Japan's hat culture. We are reproducing the original model, updated for modern use.

THE CHARLIE TOKYO — A vintage shop that generates new discoveries, surprises, and curiosity
A second-hand clothing shop in Daitabashi, Tokyo, that carries out a wide range of products, including one-of-a-kind remade items, genre-less second-hand clothing, and selected items.

Tailor Toyo - Pioneer of Souvenir Jackets
Souvenir jackets (sukajan) began shortly after the war, when US soldiers embroidered oriental patterns and the name of their unit or base onto their jackets to commemorate their time stationed in Japan. At the height of their commercialization as souvenirs in the 1950s, Tailor Toyo's predecessor company accounted for the majority of deliveries to US military bases. This time, we will be offering a selection of sukajan from the historic Tailor Toyo, selected by Chihara of "KISS, TOKYO".
