《il micio》
``Il Micho'' is a brand that focuses on completely custom-made shoes and leather accessories.
"Il Micho" means "kitten" in Italian.
Fukaya, who loves cats very much, chose this name to reflect his desire to pursue his own shoemaking with a free spirit, without flattering anyone like those noble creatures.

The brand's icon, the shoes, which are carefully crafted to suit each customer, are truly one-of-a-kind. It has a fit that clings to your feet, supple and beautiful lines, an elegant and sexy design, and an alluring atmosphere.

Fukaya, who has loved making things since he was a child, developed an interest in shoemaking while attending design school and trained under a shoemaker in Nagoya. After graduating, he worked as a fashion designer, but thinking, ``I want to create something that only I can, that no one else can imitate,'' decided to become a bespoke shoemaker and moved to Italy alone. He trained under a shoemaker in Siena and rose to prominence with his excellent taste and strong inquisitive mind.
In 1999, he launched ``Il Micho'' and began making his own shoes. Eventually, his talent was recognized by Franco Minucci, the owner of the long-established shop ``Tie Your Tie'' in Florence, and with his help, he became the first Japanese to open a bespoke shop overseas. He also designs shoes for the shop's shoe designer and other famous select shops.
His design sense and talent have been highly praised.
From his training days to the present day, what has always occupied his mind is ``making the most beautiful shoes in the world.'' ``The world's most beautiful shoes'' are shoes that have design, balance, solid technology that supports them, and above all, shoes that bring great joy to the person who wears them.
This reliable technique is reflected in the accessories, and you can feel Fukaya's commitment to everything from the treatment of the edges to the design. The material is not only leather materials such as goat and cow that can be enjoyed with aging, but also PVC. The brand motif, a marble pattern with a kitten drawn on it, gives a glimpse of Fukaya's playfulness. There is a wide range of items such as coins, belts, tote bags, etc., and the lineup allows a variety of people to enjoy the world of ``Il Micho'' depending on the purpose.
