Gallery de Pop Co., Ltd.'s brand "pas de calais" will grand reopen its Kyoto Takashimaya store on Friday, May 29, 2026, relocating to an adjacent section and expanding into a space where customers can enjoy shopping while feeling the brand's worldview even more deeply.

To commemorate this renewal, the brand will launch limited edition hand-painted bags in collaboration with Akane, a textile designer based in Kyoto, and unveil a new store space that reconstructs the landscape of the Dover Strait, the brand's roots.

【A New Store Space Symbolically Incorporating the Brand's Root "Cliff"】

The new store will be reborn as a sophisticated space that design-wise reconstructs the magnificent nature of the Pas-de-Calais region in northern France, the origin of the brand name, and its symbol, the "Cliff" (the white cliffs of Dover Strait). The sales floor area will also be expanded, allowing customers to relax and immerse themselves in the brand's worldview.

In addition, a display panel installed behind the cash register counter will constantly showcase pas de calais' original "fabrics." At the opening, the same hand-painted print fabric as the limited edition bags mentioned later will be displayed, allowing visitors to enjoy art-like textile designs throughout the entire store space.

【Limited Edition Items Fusing Kyoto's "Dyeing Culture" and the Brand's "Monozukuri" (Craftsmanship)】

Driven by the desire to deliver special surprises and joy to customers by fusing pas de calais' identity of natural materials and commitment to dyeing with Kyoto's proud dyeing culture, a collaboration with Kyoto-based textile designer Akane was realized. Each bag is hand-painted by artisans, making them special items available only here.
