Hender Scheme x BEAMS JAPAN collection is a commemorative capsule created to mark the 50th anniversary of BEAMS and the 10th anniversary of BEAMS JAPAN. The collaboration focuses on leather accessories, presenting a four-piece lineup that includes a minimalist wallet, folded card case, key flock, and glass cord. Each item is built using Hender Scheme’s established approach to material purity and hand-finished construction, maintaining precise structural detailing across everyday-use objects.
The collection applies a single, unified color treatment across all pieces, replacing the brand’s usual natural leather tones with a saturated orange finish. The hue references BEAMS’ corporate identity while remaining consistent across the full range of accessories. Each object retains its original silhouette and function, with the visual shift concentrated in the surface treatment rather than structural redesign. The capsule is released exclusively through BEAMS JAPAN locations in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Kyoto.
