The chain sways
■ Rosa Rosa "Filo"
A chain hangs down along the shoelaces.
Simply thread your shoelaces through the loops on the underside, and the blooming roses and buds, connected by chains, will be secured to the top of your foot. There's no right or wrong way to wear them—which way should be facing up? How should the chains flow? Use your own sensibilities to create a pair that's uniquely yours.
Filo means thread in Italian.
A single thread quietly connects two flowers, one in bud and the other in full bloom, at different stages of development.

Buds and fully bloomed flowers are at the same foot.
■ You'll understand when you hold it in your hands.
The Japanese sculptor meticulously carved the details down to the millimeter.
The petals overlap, capturing even the shadows of the blossoms. The buds seem brimming with life, as if about to bloom, sealed in metal. The leaves are engraved with the jagged edges of the teeth and every single vein. A photograph simply cannot convey this; the moment you hold it in your hand, you know it's the real thing.
The tips of the petals reflect light sharply, with a mirror-like finish.
Leaves and stems that absorb light, with a matte finish.
By combining these two textures in a single form, depth and a sense of life are created in the monochromatic metal.

I have never seen such an elaborately crafted metal rose before.
■ The reason Filo was created
The movement brought the rose to life.
When we thought about creating a dynamic accessory for MASQUERADE LA VITA ROSA, the idea of connecting roses and buds with a chain was born.
The idea behind Filo was born from the concept of a still metal object coming to life through a single chain, swaying with every step, the angle of light changing, and the movement of the metal coming alive with every step.
The swaying was the beginning of Rosa Rosa.
■ Installation and Fitment
The strings become taut, and that creates a perfect lock.
There are loops on the back of both the rose and the bud. When shoelaces are threaded through them, they are secured by the tension of the shoelaces. The chain extends from the joint between the rose and the bud, providing structural strength against pulling.
Suitable shoes
With shoelaces, these can be paired with any pair of shoes, from chunky platform sneakers and high-tech styles to rugged work boots. Available in Silver, Gold, and Black, they complement any shoe color or material.
Shoelace thickness
If the tip is about 3mm, it can be threaded through. Typical shoelaces with resin tips can be threaded through without any problems. However, with metal tips, there may be interference and prevent threading. If your shoelaces have metal tips, please inquire before purchasing.
Impact on shoes
The underside has a rounded finish all around. No damage has been observed even after one year of actual use. However, this may vary depending on the shoe material and wearing environment. We recommend checking an inconspicuous area before using it on your precious pair of shoes.
■ Material & Finish
The base is all Silver 925 (sterling silver), but simply changing the finish gives the same shape a completely different look.
Solid Silver
Pure silver that deepens with time
The density and hardness of the Silver 925 itself, without any coating, bring out the sharpest reflection of the mirror finish.
It's not deterioration, but rather a process in which the sculpture deepens.
The more you wear them, the deeper the shadows become in the valleys, and the more vivid the contrast between light and shadow and the petals becomes. This is the aging process that this jewelry undergoes.
Royal Gold（ロイヤル・ゴールド）
A golden light is cast upon the density of silver.
Made with a 925 sterling silver base and coated with a thick 18K gold finish.
This is fundamentally different from brass-based gold plating.
The hard, lustrous shine created by the density of precious metals—you'll notice the difference the moment you hold it in your hand. The gold envelops the rose's form, making each petal stand out more richly.
⚠️ Precautions regarding coating
The coating may gradually thin due to friction with the shoelaces, exposing the silver color of the base metal. Please enjoy this as part of the aging process.
If you are concerned, recoating and repairs are available for a fee. Please contact us for details.
Phantom Black
A triple-layered darkness where gold is hidden beneath the black.
Not painted
The black luster comes from the rare metal ruthenium, giving it the metallic sheen it possesses.
Only the sharp edges of the petals, illuminated by the light, stand out.
The leaves and stems are deeply colored, and this finish most dramatically reveals the sculptural beauty of Filo.
⚠️ エイジングについて
The coating may be damaged by strong friction or impact. Please handle with care. If damage occurs, repair and recoating are available for a fee. Please contact us for details.
■ Care & Maintenance
Storage Storage
Direct contact with other metal objects can cause damage or scratches to the coating; it is recommended to store it wrapped in a soft cloth or bag.
- Store in a place away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high humidity.
- If seawater or sweat gets on it, wipe it off with a dry cloth immediately.
If you will not be wearing it for an extended period, wipe it gently with a soft cloth before storing it.
Finish Care Care by finish
Uncoated 925 silver can be restored to its mirror-like shine by gently polishing it with a soft silver polishing cloth. However, polishing too hard will wear away the fine details of the design, so polish gently and quickly.
Royal Gold / Phantom Black — No polishing allowedUsing an abrasive cloth on the coated surface will cause the coating to peel off. Only wipe away dirt with a dry, soft cloth.
- Be careful of contact with alcohol, solvents, bleach, and de-icing agents (salt). If contact occurs, wipe it off immediately.
- Do not put into an ultrasonic cleaner (the coating will peel off).
- Do not wash with water.
Re-coating is available for a fee (※Special black coatings require individual assessment).
Wearing Notes Points to note when wearing
When threading or unthreading shoelaces, do so with the shoelaces partially untied. Avoid applying excessive force, as pulling too hard on the chain may cause it to break.
- Compatible shoelace tips up to approximately 3mm. Resin tips can be threaded through directly. Metal tips may interfere and prevent threading. We recommend contacting us before purchasing.
- Avoid repeated contact with hard materials such as bicycle pedals and escalator steps.
- We recommend removing them in situations where rain or water exposure is expected.
- Remove them during strenuous exercise or situations with frequent contact.
Wiping it lightly with a soft cloth after use before storing it will minimize any changes in texture.
