Beyond their beauty, these gloves are also touchscreen-compatible, designed with modern life in mind.

Such thoughtful details reflect the care and expertise of a long-established glove maker with over a century of experience.

The Oldest Glove Manufacturer in Japan

Founded in 1913, Fukuda Glove is Japan’s oldest glove manufacturer and the company behind lapero.
Located in Higashikagawa City, Kagawa Prefecture—an area known as Japan’s premier glove-making region since 1888—the brand has refined techniques to work with materials ranging from leather and knit to advanced technical fibers.
Through its exquisite craftsmanship, it has introduced high-quality “Kagawa Gloves” to the world.

Fukuda Glove had long worked as a manufacturing partner for apparel brands, planning and producing gloves for others.
In 2009, the company launched its own brand, lapero, to share Kagawa’s glove-making heritage with the world.

lapero oversees every step—from planning and design to production—ensuring a consistent, high-quality process.
Each pair is carefully sewn by skilled artisans whose craftsmanship was highly praised at the prestigious Paris trade fair Maison & Objet, known for its rigorous selection standards.

Japanese Craftsmanship Recognized Worldwide

lapero emphasizes both comfort and fashion.
Its artisans sew seams as narrow as two millimeters with absolute precision, adjusting patterns by millimeters to match the natural stretch of each material.
This mastery ensures a flawless fit with no excess fabric at the fingertips, achieving a refined silhouette that even leading European glove makers find challenging.
This impeccable comfort and elegance are the reasons lapero has been cherished in Japan for over a century—and why it continues to gain recognition overseas.

Today, lapero is also gaining attention in Milan, one of the world’s foremost glove-making centers, where its products are carried in more than fifteen boutiques.

With a century of accumulated craftsmanship, a commitment to meeting changing needs,
and the belief that “we create what we ourselves truly wish to wear,”
Fukuda Glove continues to produce gloves that embody enduring quality and quiet sophistication—pieces to cherish for years to come.
