Artisan creator in magical and fantastical jewelry: fairy wings, butterflies, dragons, and bats; stones set in natural and elvish swirls. I work with surgical steel, gold-plated, bronze metal, crystal, and stones. My wings are flexible and lightweight to wear, without any animal materials.
We will be creating kokedamas, a Japanese technique for preserving plants in a living pot! We also produce manga-themed terrariums inspired by the magical world of Totoro and featuring Groot. We look forward to welcoming you at our booth. See you at the next edition of Japan Impact!

Midnight Blossom, which I manage myself as an independent designer, is a brand offering a range of jewellery inspired by Japanese aesthetics and a textile range made from recycled kimono. As a descendant of kimono merchants, I want to give this garment a place so that it becomes more everyday. It’s a trick I do my best to pull off with creations that look good, but for which it’s more important to me that they beautify wherever they go.
Mono ni kokoro is a young online boutique specialising in traditional objects reinvented by Japanese craftsmen for tableware, interior decoration and home accessories.

Monoya Tokyo is a beautiful story between Caroline and Yuji, its creators. The Franco-Japanese couple upcycles old kimonos and other traditional textiles (obi, haori, yukata, etc.) to transform them into various accessories: pouches, cases, wallets, bags, frames, cushion covers, costume jewelry, and more. Everything is handmade by the two creators who personally travel to Japan to hunt for fabrics. The preparation of the kimonos begins at their home in Tokyo; the rolls are then sent to France by boat and reworked in the Southwest, in Albi, where the couple has set up their workshop-boutique. Caroline and Yuji also offer a beautiful selection of vintage jackets for men and women. A must-visit if you appreciate beautiful vintage fabrics and ethical craftsmanship!
