FOPE to open its Fukuoka Tenjin flagship on October 31

A new address on Tenjin Nishi-dori

FOPE announced on October 30 that its Fukuoka Tenjin store will open on October 31, 2026. The house identifies it as its first flagship in Kyushu and its second street-front flagship in Japan after Ginza. This is a retail expansion; the jewellery pictured in the announcement is not collectively identified as launching with the store.

Green interiors and a separate salon

The shop occupies a three-storey building; the release specifically describes a ground-floor boutique and a second-floor VIP salon. Asa Studio Albanese designed the green-led interior. JEWEL DAILY’s visual reading of the continuous showcases, slim gold-coloured frames and separate table seating is a shift in viewing distance, from browsing while standing to comparing pieces while seated.

Must Have: gold lines stacked at the wrist

The house identifies the bracelets in this styling image as Must Have and the ring as Essentials. Several gold-coloured lines overlap near the cuff, their fine surface texture giving the broad stack a continuous rhythm. The photograph demonstrates styling, but cannot establish weight, fit or comfort.

Ring widths and layered styling

The rear-view styling image pairs Essentials and Souls rings. Broader and slimmer shapes sit on different fingers, with the hands and braid providing a sense of scale.

A separate male-model image also identifies an Essentials ring. Its closer framing makes the broad surface texture easier to see. The release describes FOPE’s jewellery as everyday pieces suitable for wear across genders.

Eka Maori: mesh extended to the neckline

The Eka Maori necklace and bracelets appear as a still life. The necklace’s length and hanging ends contrast with the bracelets’ circular outlines, showing how a mesh vocabulary produces different rhythms at neck and wrist. The image does not specify each item’s materials, dimensions or price, so these are not inferred.

From Vicenza to everyday wear

Founded in Vicenza, Italy, in 1929, FOPE states that design, production and component manufacture all take place there. The architectural photograph in the original release supplies this place-of-origin context.

The house presents its 18K-gold Novecento mesh and FLEX’IT elastic technology as signatures. A workshop photograph shows a tool working on a chain, offering a view of detailed bench work; it is not, by itself, a performance or elasticity test of every pictured piece.
