There’s no doubt Hankyu Umeda is the leading luxury department store in the sprawling metropolitan area of Osaka, and as such, brands operating in the upper segment of fashion and lifestyle vie for attention of well-heeled shoppers. Obviously, Burberry has been present on the premises for many years, and as of late, it boasts a fully revamped shop-in-shop for bags and accessories. Situated on the second floor, it features the latest retail design codes as laid down by Riccardo Tisci, the brand’s current creative director. The new setting sees an updated reinterpretation of the iconic Burberry checks, and includes metal frames, checkered tiles, and a colour palette of beige, black, red, and white, in addition to warm wood and glamorous mirrors. The shelves are laden with a wide range of iconic bags such as the Olympia bags and TB bags, as well as small leather goods such as wallets and phone cases, and accessories such as scarves and caps. In celebration of the renewal, Burberry‘s soft pocket tote and wallet, both part of the new S/S 2021 Collection, will be available here early and are on sale for a limited time only, a true bonus for the most avid of fans.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
