This collaboration stems from a specific story that stayed with us. In 2018, Fumiko was traveling alone to Paris. Between long flights, hotel rooms, and the pressure of performing professionally in front of others, she decided to start carrying a stuffed fox she had long wanted. Since then, it has accompanied her on all her journeys.

We are drawn to that image: a woman moving through the world on her own, constantly in transit, while carrying something fantastical and mischievous inside her bag.
