Care & Maintenance

To preserve the integrity and beauty of this investment piece:

• Washing: Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh chemicals that may damage the lace

• Lace Care: Gently brush dried lace with a soft bristle brush to restore texture and remove dust
• Chain Accessories: Wipe with a soft cloth to maintain shine; store separately to prevent tangling

About Jirai Kei Culture

Jirai Kei (地雷系) literally translates to “landmine style,” a provocative name reflecting the subculture’s aesthetic of controlled chaos and hidden depths. Emerging from Tokyo’s Harajuku district in the 2000s, this fashion movement celebrates contradiction: demure yet defiant, cute yet dark, accessible yet exclusive. Practitioners craft their identity through layered garments, statement accessories, and meticulous attention to detail—making every outfit a personal manifesto. This collection honors that spirit by providing the foundational pieces necessary for authentic self-expression.
