Vancouver-based company Kit and Ace announced Monday that it will open a pop-up shop in Tokyo, the first retail location from the company to open in Japan.

The pop-up is slated to open on November 20, 2015 in the Koyano Building in Tokyo’s fashionable Nakameguro district. Kit and Ace’s popular Technical Cashmere products will be available in the pop-up in addition to a curated selection of the company’s product offering.
 
“We’re excited to enter the Asian market and introduce our brand to customers on this side of the Pacific,” said JJ Wilson, Co-Founder and Head of Brand at Kit and Ace. “Nakame is a cultural and fashion-forward area – it’s a hot spot for Tokyo locals who appreciate luxury and comfort. This is where we want to be.”

The company founded by Shannon and JJ Wilson has opened several locations in 2015 alone and plans to end the year with 40 locations worldwide.
