To everyone that have supported us

While it might feel that it’s very sudden and unexpected,
on the 15th of July, 2014,
all branches of ricori will be ceasing activity.

For the support that we have received until today,
we offer our deepest gratitude from the heart.

Thank you very much.

Shinoda Mariko launched her brand, ricori, back in February 2013.
After the initial launch of the store in Lumine Est, Shinjuku, the brand also extended itself to two other branches in Shinsaibashi and Umeda HEP Five, Osaka.
