Japanese Lantern-Inspired Hats

Whole Love Kyoto Pushes Traditional Designs in Streetwear

— November 26, 2019 — World
Whole Love Kyoto is a daring Japanese fashion company that seeks to revolutionize the contemporary approach to streetwear by introducing heritage-inspired motifs to the designs. These traditional elements borrow from the country's rich culture and thus, create an authentic experience for the wearer.

Whole Love Kyoto debuts stylish Chochin hats, where 'chochin' is in reference to Japanese paper lanterns. To preserve the authenticity of the heritage-forward experience, the company creates the silhouettes of its offerings from wood and paper. The product is said to be crafted by hand and through the utilization of the traditional Japanese washi paper, the design reaches true cultural heights.

Whole Love Kyoto makes the Chochin Cap available through its e-commerce website for ¥12,800 + tax.
