From Kyoto,
embracing European aesthetics.
Lecien's journey began in Kyoto in 1933. Our origin lies in being captivated by the intricate beauty and warmth of handcrafted antique lace from France and Switzerland, which we introduced to Japan.
From the fusion of respect for the rich lace culture cultivated in the West and the subtractive aesthetics passed down through generations in Kyoto, Lecien's unique, timeless craftsmanship was born. We have built our history with the goal of creating products that not only adorn, but also beautifully fulfill the inner self of the wearer.
100,000 details
transcending time.
From the 14th to the 19th century, European artisans meticulously spun lace culture 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 exquisite techniques and aesthetic beauty of the past and incorporating them into the details of modern clothing – this relentless pursuit gives Lecien's products profound persuasiveness.
From a single thread
to garments that touch your skin.
Lecien's embroidery brand "COSMO®" has been loved by creators worldwide. This thread-making tradition, continued since 1933, embodies Japan's delicate sense of color and the expertise in achieving supreme texture that is gentle on the skin.
It is this craftsmanship, setting unique standards even for a single thread, that allows our innerwear, which began in 1955, to maintain a distinct quality from its structure to its stitching. This unwavering commitment to texture creates a comfort that makes your body rejoice the moment you put it on.
Transforming daily noise
into comfort
Because it touches your skin most intimately, we want to prioritize comfort above all else. That is Lecien's unchanging belief.
The overwhelming, perfect fit comfort of spending a day in a bra that perfectly matches your skeletal structure. And the supreme moment when simply wearing underwear subtly alleviates daily fatigue and stiffness.
"We want to deliver the everyday comfort that we truly believe is the best to you."
It is this pure desire and unwavering dedication that led to the creation of the Skeletal Diagnosis Bra, the Pip collaboration, and Refresh Cooler®. Let go of excessive embellishments and embrace the luxury of only wearing true quality that delights your mind and body. Lecien will continue to be a quiet companion in your everyday life.
