professionals “BILLY business” was born in collaboration with “Ginza Tailor,” a long-established men’s clothing brand that has built Japan’s custom-made suit culture since its founding in 1935. Ginza Tailor commented, “The item has an exquisite shape and functionality that doesn’t spoil the neat look.With luxurious materials and a sophisticated form, it has become an item that overturns the idea that “a backpack is a no-no with a suit.”

The handmade techniques of craftsmen and the aesthetic sense that brings out the dignity of the wearer have been chosen by many important people and business leaders from the post-war reconstruction period to the present day. The trust and track record that has supported the attire of successive prime ministers, members of the imperial family, and world-renowned business executives means that they can truly be called “suits that carry Japan on their backs.” His style, which focuses on every millimeter of detail, is still considered to be a mark of first-class quality even as times change. ■About FUMIKODA FUMIKODA is a bag brand from Japan launched by Fumi Koda, a creative director who runs an IT-related company, with the mission of delivering wellbeing to all work situations.

manufacturing sites that everyone can be proud of. Our products, which are stylish yet functional and sustainable, have resonated with many people and are gaining support, especially among business people. Official website Official Instagram
