The store sells a mixture of merchandise from the Miyake universe including the brand’s range of Bao Bao bags and a line of origami paper lamps produced by the Italian company Artemide. There is also a series of handbags designed in collaboration with Tokyo-based product designer Mike Abelson.

The core of the brand’s product offering will consist of 10 styles of pleated garments, including T-shirts, cardigans and pants, all in four main colors: light gray, dark gray, blue and black. Some items will be available in additional colors, and a few coats and jackets will round out the offering.
