Five Foxes Co., Ltd. (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) designs clothing based on the concept of "creating new sensibilities through the pursuit of Japanese culture and traditional beauty, and harmony with the West." COMME ÇA, celebrating 50 years since its establishment, has consistently offered clothing made from linen every season. In addition to COMME ÇA, a total of four brands will present items themed on "summer arrangements" starting Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at limited stores including COMME ÇA PLATINUM. The "Asa Monogatari" special website can be found here. 〈ARTISAN〉Blouson 132,000 yen (tax included). Hand-painted Glen Check. A unique material with depth, created by layering a hand-painted check over melange linen glen check. Craftsmen meticulously draw each line using the "shikebiki dyeing" technique, derived from Kyo-Yuzen, expressing delicate lines and shading. Through repeated prototyping, the intentional bleeding and coloring create a rare finish unique to each piece. 〈COMME ÇA〉Jacket 77,000 yen (tax included). 〈K.T KIYOKO TAKASE〉Shirt 59,400 yen (tax included). Kumiko. Kumiko is a traditional Japanese technique. Light and shadow appearing when sunlight passes through hemp leaf patterns are depicted on delicate linen fabric. Three types of printing techniques are used to coolly express summer arrangements. Striped Lattice Torn Fabric. Torn fabric expresses the feeling of the hands as they work. Craftsmen weave slowly, close to the loom. The scene of indigo noren swaying in a lattice door that invites coolness is expressed with striped lattices in gradual colors from deep indigo to "kamenozoki" (lightest indigo). 〈ARTISAN〉Blouson 132,000 yen (tax included). 〈LUMEA〉Vest 49,500 yen (tax included). Sashiko Jacquard. On thin, beautiful linen, linen threads with multiple colors layered are used to create a cool and elegant texture reminiscent of sudare (bamboo blinds), with a feel as if sashiko stitching has been applied, all crafted through jacquard weaving.
