Christian Peau is a brand founded by Junji Koike in 2002 and based in Kobe, Japan, that embodies beautiful contradictions—raw yet polished, artisanal yet avant-garde. The bags are distinguished by exceptional leather treatments and buttery-soft finishes, drawing upon 18th century European crafting traditions. In his clothing collections, Junji repurposes antique jacquards and Japanese kinsha silks from the mid-1900s—textiles prized for their lightness and finery—creating pieces that honor both heritage and innovation.
