About Styles
Chako was launched in 2004 by a mother & daughter team - Fusako and Kazumi Nakanishi. It all began one summer when Kazumi asked her crafty mother for a small favour - to make a handbag out of a silk obi that she found in an antique market while visiting her home town, Tokyo.

After moving to Hong Kong in 2002, Kazumi was inspired to pursue the venture seriously with the encouragements of her friends, whom were already putting in their orders! The duo decided to start a business and named the brand Chako, Fusako's childhood nickname. What they love most is being able to work on building this brand together and showing off the gorgeous Japanese traditional material through a new medium instead of having it stored away unused.

Chako clutches can meet all your needs and hold all your essentials for a night out on the town, a day or evening event or simply when you need to dress up a pair of jeans. It is a perfect way to accessorize any outfit! Its versatility is further enhanced by the option to carry the clutch three different ways: over your shoulder with a detachable chain, as a clutch under your arm or as a wrist clutch! Each dumpling clutch has an intricate, one-of-a-kind design and is made specifically for each customer.

Since the launch of the brand, Chako clutches have been widely popular in NYC, Hong Kong, Miami, Paris and London. They have been sold in various stores, including Lane Crawford in Hong Kong (leading luxury department store) and Austique in London (named top 50 boutiques in London by Time Out)!
