Six coup de foudre (シス クー・ド・フードル) is a Japanese ethical leather brand launched in 2006 by designer Atsushi Takamizawa. The name combines the French phrases meaning "love at first sight" and "through the sixth sense." At the same time, it also plays on the Japanese words "shisu" (to die), "kuu" (to eat), and "food," expressing a strong desire to "receive life, use it as food, and utilize the by-product, the skin, as a product."
Takamizawa creates leather goods from the hides of wild deer, bears, and boars that would otherwise go to waste, giving new life to these natural materials. Rare leathers such as carp skin are also incorporated, and even the smallest scraps are thoughtfully used in patchwork designs, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship.
The brand uses many "U-shaped" clasp clasps, and because it takes the shape of a "U" when closed and a "ro" when open, it was named "Kokoro" (meaning "heart"). This name also embodies the brand's philosophy of "using leather, a gift from animals, with care and gratitude." Each item is handcrafted, and its different texture adds to its charm.
Moth is pleased to introduce this beautiful brand to the United States.
