- Exhibition visualizing over 60,000 Fling Bags sold, expanding from Seoul to Japan

- Strengthening K-brand awareness and building local fandom through in-person engagement with Japanese consumers

The KOLON Industries FnC Organization (KOLON FnC) announced that its brand Archivépke, known for its refined taste and unique sensibility, successfully concluded its pop-up store held from October 24 to 26 at OLDHAUS in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Titled “Fling of Senses Pop-Up in Tokyo,” the exhibition-style pop-up centered around Archivépke’s signature Fling Bag, which has achieved cumulative sales of approximately 60,000 units. Following the success of the same concept in Seoul last September, the Tokyo pop-up extended the brand’s creative narrative to Japanese consumers as part of a global initiative. Beginning with Seoul and Tokyo, the project marks the start of a journey that will continue across multiple cities and countries, documenting and expressing the evolving aesthetic of Archivépke.

The pop-up was organized into three themed spaces that reflected the brand’s story and creative universe. The first space, “THE FLING BAG,” featured an installation inspired by the bag’s iconic half-moon silhouette and curved lines, offering a direct, sculptural interpretation of its form. The second space, “THE MAKING STORY,” showcased design sketches, patterns, leathers, molds, and hardware in sequential stages, allowing visitors to visually experience the meticulous craftsmanship behind the creation of the Fling Bag. The final space, “THE NEW PRODUCT,” was designed as a showroom where guests could explore and try on new collection items developed as an extension of the Fling Bag line.

The Tokyo pop-up attracted approximately 500 visitors, drawing an enthusiastic response from local customers. The collection was particularly praised for its minimalist design, refined leather texture, and sophisticated color palette.

An Archivépke representative said, “As a leading K-accessory brand, we plan to continue creating opportunities like this Tokyo pop-up to introduce Archivépke’s distinctive mood and aesthetic to Japanese consumers, strengthening our brand presence and building a loyal fan community.”

Meanwhile, Archivépke is steadily expanding its presence in the Japanese market. After launching its official Japanese online store in March 2024, the brand held its first offline pop-up store at Lumine 2 in Shinjuku in April 2025. The exhibition-style space showcased the brand’s archival story, deepening engagement with local customers. The recent Tokyo pop-up continues this momentum, further reinforcing Archivépke’s brand presence in Japan.
