Product Description
Discover the art of Japanese denim at Ebisu Kobo, a one-of-a-kind workshop located just minutes from Ebisu Station in Tokyo. This unique jeans-making experience allows you to customize your own jeans or denim jacket, guided by expert staff in a relaxed and creative setting. Ideal for fashion enthusiasts, travelers looking for authentic Tokyo activities, or anyone wanting a memorable souvenir made by their own hands.
What You’ll Experience
Design Your Own Pair of Jeans
At the Betty Smith Ebisu Workshop, you can fully personalize your jeans by:
- Selecting your preferred denim base (raw or washed, depending on availability)
- Choosing from a variety of high-quality buttons and rivets
- Adding a leather patch engraved with your own design or initials
This is a hands-on jeans-making activity with guidance provided by experienced staff, making it suitable even for first-time visitors.
Bespoke Jeans Ordering (Made-to-Measure Denim)
For those seeking a fully tailored pair of jeans, Ebisu Kobo also offers a bespoke jeans ordering experience. Select your denim fabric, cut, and style, and let professional craftsmen create custom jeans tailored to your exact measurements.
Denim Jacket Customization Experience
In addition to jeans, guests can also choose to create and customize a denim jacket. Like with the jeans experience, you’ll select hardware and details to design a one-of-a-kind garment.
