The story of comfort, woven since 1933.
From Kyoto,
Embracing European Aesthetics.
LECIEN's journey began in Kyoto in 1933. Our origins lie in our fascination with the intricate beauty and warmth of handcrafted antique laces from France and Switzerland, which we introduced to Japan.
From the fusion of our respect for the rich lace culture cultivated in the West and the aesthetic of subtraction continuously inherited in Kyoto, LECIEN's unique, timeless craftsmanship was born. We have built our history aiming to create products that not only adorn but also beautifully enrich the inner self of the wearer.
100,000 details
that transcend time.
From the 14th to the 19th century, European artisans meticulously spun a culture of lace, stitch by stitch. LECIEN possesses an archive of over 100,000 antique lace pieces collected from around the world over many years.
The collection housed at the "LECIEN LACE MUSEUM®" in Kyoto is the wellspring of our creativity. Unraveling the aesthetics of excellent past techniques and designs and incorporating them into the details of modern clothing—this continuous exploration gives LECIEN products profound authenticity.
From a single thread
to garments that touch the skin.
LECIEN's embroidery brand "COSMO®" has been loved by creators worldwide. This thread-making tradition, continuing since 1933, condenses Japanese delicate color sensibility and the expertise for creating supreme textures that are gentle on the skin.
Because we have a craftsmanship that sets unique standards down to every single thread, our innerwear, which started in 1955, can also maintain a distinct quality from structure to sewing. Our uncompromising commitment to texture creates a comfort that makes the body rejoice the moment it is worn.
Transforming everyday noise
into comfort.
Because it touches the skin most intimately, we want to prioritize comfort above all else. That is LECIEN's unchanging belief.
The overwhelming comfort of a perfect fit for a whole day in a bra that perfectly suits your skeletal structure. And that supreme moment when simply wearing underwear subtly alleviates daily fatigue and stiffness.
"We want to deliver the everyday comfort that we genuinely believe is the best to you."
It is with this pure desire and unwavering commitment that our skeletal analysis bras, "Pip Collaboration," and "Refresh Cooler®" were born. Let go of excessive embellishments and embrace the luxury of only wearing true quality that truly pleases your heart and body. LECIEN continues to be a partner that quietly accompanies your everyday life.
