History of Furansu

Lucas, a young European designer passionate about fashion and culture, discovers Japan during a life-changing journey. Fascinated by the understated elegance and millennia-old history of tabi, iconic shoes worn since the era of the samurai, he is captivated by their ability to blend tradition and modernity. However, when trying to purchase a pair for himself, Lucas encounters overpriced models and struggles to find his size. Upon returning to Europe, he decides to create a brand that pays homage to this heritage while meeting the needs of modern consumers. Thus, FURANSU is born—a brand dedicated to offering tabi that combine elegant design, optimal comfort, and high-quality materials, all at an accessible price. By collaborating with passionate artisans and drawing inspiration from Japanese heritage, Lucas transforms FURANSU into a bridge between East and West, celebrating history while making tabi accessible to everyone. Today, every pair of FURANSU tells a story: a story of passion for Japan and a desire to share this timeless beauty with the world.
