DESIGNER’S NOTE

About this look

As a brand born in Japan, I wanted to incorporate the best of what Japan has to offer.

However, I wanted it to be felt as a fashionable piece rather than a conventional kimono. This is the first garment I have tailored as LINGERIE ELF. I used Nishijin-ori, a traditional Kyoto weaving technique also used for kimonos, to craft it authentically. I chose the sumi-nagashi pattern, a technique that can never produce the same design twice. I felt that each one is like the unique thoughts, values, and emotions of every individual.

Even while wearing the garment, I wanted to preserve lingerie as its signature element. Lingerie peeks out from the kimono collar, and garter belts are attached to the obi. With a short length that makes a bold statement and long drapes that look ready to move at any moment, I have finished it with a dynamic silhouette.

The earrings are also my first accessory. Featuring ume-musubi knots handmade by a mizuhiki artisan in Kanazawa, they embody the sentiment of my encounter with the owner and the desire to cherish an unbreakable bond. White pearls add a touch of elegance and casualness.

How it’s made

Handcrafted by artisans

Together with designer yoii, each and every piece is handcrafted by artisans in Japan exclusively for LINGERIE ELF.

Body

Crafted by artisans in Kyoto, each piece is meticulously polished over many hours to create an exquisite body.

Lingerie/Costumes

Since standard clothing patterns cannot be used, we create a pattern from scratch and make it completely original.

Sunglasses

Craftsmen in Sabae City, Fukui, the mecca of eyewear, create them from scratch through more than a hundred processes.

靴

To ensure a perfect fit for your feet, a custom foot mold is taken from scratch, and only highly skilled artisans selected for their expertise in this challenging craft create each pair.

UNBOXING EXPERIENCE

The unboxing is part of the piece.

The LINGERIE ELF box opens by unhooking a garter belt made just for it. Inspired by the idea at the heart of LINGERIE ELF, letting out the feelings you hold inside, it was designed from scratch by yoii and custom-made.

FAQ

What payment methods are available?

We accept credit cards from Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB, as well as PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. Your card information is securely processed by the payment service (Shopify Payments).

My card payment failed. What should I do?

Your card issuer may be blocking the transaction as a "large overseas payment." In most cases, this is not a problem with your card or the store. Please try the following in order:
① Approve the payment as your own through your card issuer's app or via SMS, then try paying again.
② Pay using a different payment method (Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, etc.).
③ If the issue persists, please contact our support team. We will guide you through an alternative payment method.
Please refrain from trying repeatedly with the same card, as doing so may make it more likely to be blocked.

Can I cancel or change my order after placing it?

As we begin crafting each piece individually after receiving your order, we cannot accept cancellations or changes due to customer convenience. If you need to change your shipping address, please contact us before your order has shipped.

What should I do if the product I received is damaged or incorrect?

Please contact us with photos within 14 days of arrival. If only the wings are damaged, we will send you replacement wings. For other damage or incorrect deliveries, we will issue a full refund upon return of the product. We will cover the return shipping costs. Recording a video of the unboxing process will help speed up the verification process.
