Mikimoto × Lalique

Yasuhiko Hashimoto, président & CEO, K. MIKIMOTO & CO., LTD.

Together, Mikimoto and Lalique have created Fortune Leaves , Crystal Edition – a collector’s piece of extraordinary rarity, where fragrance becomes form and form becomes story. Born of shared vision and respect, the piece marks not only a debut, but a promise: to continue shaping a universe where tradition and innovation walk hand in hand. The collaboration began with light. Mikimoto first approached Lalique to create a chandelier for its bridal salon in Ginza, Tokyo. The resulting piece, Cloud of Clovers , became more than an installation; it was a spark. In the play of crystal and reflection, both houses

recognised shared values: nature as muse, elegance in restraint, and the quiet power of craftsmanship. From that first creative exchange grew an idea: what if this encounter could be transformed into something more intimate, more lasting? Something you could wear. Something you could feel. Hashimoto-san, President & CEO of Mikimoto, recalls: “We spoke less about products, more about philosophy. About how to capture the soul of the pearl in another medium.” Marc Larminaux, Artistic and Creative Director of Lalique, adds: “It was a true dialogue. Ocean and glass. East and West. Luminosity in two expressions.”
