OUR STORY
KINSMEN is an elite house of coveted luxuries, established in 2020 by brothers Shoyo & Shoki Kawamura.
The maison emerges as a harmonious blend of contrasting yet complementary skill sets, drawing from Shoyo's rich background as a seasoned watch specialist at the prestigious renowned auction house. This experience not only honed his discerning eye for exquisite collectibles but also instilled in him a profound appreciation for the finer things in life. Paired with Shoki's business acumen and vastly developed network of second-hand luxury, the duo's vision for KINSMEN is to curate a unique space where their shared passion for rare luxury, cultivated through years of collecting and trading rare treasures, can be shared with a community of like-minded enthusiasts.
