One of the up-to-date names in the Japanese fashion - Kenji Ikeda, the handbags designer from Osaka. This charming young man has left native Japan in the age of 14 years to live in Spain, Great Britain (where he received a degree of the accessories designer) and in France where he worked for Givenchy as a fancy goods designer.
Today his handbags are produced by the best designers in Japan. They use only the most magnificent materials, and handbags quickly acquire “must-have” status among the most well-known Tokyo inhabitants.
The first “launch” of his KENKENKEN collection took place in September, 2004 in Tokyo. The exhibition made grandiose success and became very popular among such known shops, as LOVELESS, Ships, Beams, Nano Universe, Opaque, Adam*Rope, Bassett Walker, Tomorrow Land, The Ginza, Restir, Shinjyku Isetan Re-Style, etc.
The designer dreams to create a brand which will go through him. And also he would like to see, that Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garcons founder, carries his bags.
