《il micio》
"Il Micho" is a brand centered on completely made-to-order shoes and small leather goods.
"Il Micho" means "kitten" in Italian.
Fukaya, who loves cats deeply, chose this name with the desire to pursue his own shoemaking with a free spirit without flattering anyone like that noble creature.

The brand's iconic shoes, carefully crafted for each customer, are truly one-of-a-kind. It has a fit that sticks 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, became interested in shoemaking when he was in design school and trained under a shoemaker in Nagoya. After graduating, he worked as a fashion designer, but he decided to become a bespoke shoemaker because he wanted to create something that only he could do. After training under a shoemaker in Siena, he developed his skills with an outstanding sense and a strong inquisitive mind.
In 1999, he launched "Il Micho" and started making his own shoes. Eventually, his talent was recognized by Mr. Franco Minucci, the owner of the long-established Florentine shop "Thai Your Tie", and with his help, he became the first Japanese to open a bespoke shop overseas. He also worked as a shoe designer for the same shop and designed shoes for other famous select shops.
He is highly regarded for his design sense and talent.
From his training days to the present, he has always occupied his mind with the idea of ​​"making the most beautiful shoes in the world." "The most beautiful shoes in the world" are shoes that bring great joy to those who wear them.
This reliable technique is also reflected in accessories, and Fukaya's attention to detail can be felt everywhere, from the processing of the edge to the design. One of the features is that the materials are not only leather materials that can enjoy aging such as goats and cows, but also PVC. Fukaya's playful spirit can be seen in the brand motif, a marble pattern with a kitten drawn on it. There is a wide range of items such as coins, belts, and tote bags, and the lineup is designed so that various people can enjoy the world view of "Il Micho" according to the purpose.
