History of Furansu

The Story of Furansu

At FURANSU, everything begins with a shared passion: Japan, its timeless aesthetic, and the iconic tabi shoes that have been worn for centuries.

Driven by this fascination, a collective of designers and creatives based in Paris envisioned a brand that reinterprets the tabi, merging Japanese heritage with contemporary elegance.

In our Paris studio, each model is carefully designed and developed before coming to life in our partner workshops in Asia, renowned for their craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The result: shoes that combine minimalist design, everyday comfort, and accessible luxury.

Working closely with skilled artisans, we ensure responsible production and flawless finishing on every pair.

FURANSU is more than just a brand — it’s a cultural bridge, a new way to walk, and a story carried with every step.
