【Brand Overview】

TATZU is a designer brand run by a Japanese fashion designer and pattern maker, known for its distinctive style of redesigning traditional Japanese kimono. The brand reimagines classic kimono patterns, such as those found on kuro-tomesode (formal black kimono), into modern, edgy designs. Signature pieces include bi-color and asymmetrical jackets, as well as sarouel pants, embodying a contemporary “samurai style.” By revitalizing the charm of kimono patterns that are less commonly worn in Japan today, TATZU also contributes to preserving and passing on kimono culture.

Based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, TATZU operates an atelier and production workshop. The Japanese designer collaborates with a skilled local tailoring team to handle every stage of production—pattern making, cutting, sewing, and inspection—with Japanese-quality precision. The atelier offers TATZU products, a wide selection of kimono, and made-to-order services tailored to customer needs, which have garnered strong support, especially among Western clientele.

TATZU brings its bold kimono-inspired fashion to customers worldwide through participation in international fashion shows, pop-up stores, direct sales and custom orders at its atelier, and its online shop. The brand aims to set trends and make waves in the global fashion scene.

Additional Notes : TATZU incorporates functional and comfortable natural fiber fabrics into the linings of its products. The brand also embraces natural dyeing techniques, incorporating shibori (tie-dye) fabrics into its designs to enhance individuality. This unique approach combines kimono artistry with organic materials, offering one-of-a-kind fashion that is both innovative and timeless.
