MOHIKANPOCHETTE is a clothing brand by two designers, Kiyoko Sakurai and Eiichi Sakurai.
We are self-taught in fashion and started our brand in 2007.
We do everything from fabric procurement, design, sewing, and finishing by ourselves.
We do not use paper patterns and create completely one-of-a-kind garments.
We want to live honestly with what we love. Today, we continue to advance the needle to create “one-of-a-kind clothes” that liberate the hearts of women and help them take the first step into a new world.
