Motherhouse has its own factory. Jute, the origin of Motherhouse’s manufacturing, is the original material from which the very first bag was made. A type of hemp known as the “golden thread,” it is characterized by its strong durability and good breathability, even among natural materials. The intricate herringbone pattern is made by carefully weaving together the finest jute threads and cotton, resulting in a classic design despite the light material. A summer fashion item that will keep your feet fresh and light. The breathable jute creates a light, summery look for your feet. The design is easy to style with chinos or denim. The heel is made of leather, so it is not too casual and can be used in any situation. We pursued an exquisite balance between the heavy, thick-soled design unique to “THE WALKER” and lightness. The classic and unique appearance will accent your outfit regardless of the season.

It was launched in September 2022. While cherishing the unique playfulness of natural materials such as “swaying” and “slackness,” we are conscious of the oriental feeling of “wearing fabric” and modern silhouettes and color usage that fit in with the city, proposing new possibilities for natural materials that are not just natural. The design, born from a thorough dialogue with the material, brings out a borderless charm that transcends gender and age, and changes its expression to match the atmosphere and style of the wearer. Utilizing the techniques and materials of artisans from various Asian countries, the brand expresses a wearable “borderless worldview.” [Yamaguchi Eriko (CEO and Chief Designer)]
