Overview

JELLY BEANS is a Japanese women's shoe brand with roots in Asakusa, Tokyo. Its origins trace back to Amagasa Shoten, founded by Etsuzo Amagasa in 1974. In 1985, the company began planning, developing, and wholesaling non-leather women's shoes under its own brand. Today, it offers a wide range of styles, including pumps, sandals, sneakers, and rain shoes, for occasions from everyday wear to dressing up. With the concept of “everyday shoes close at hand that let me become my best self in my own way,” it presents daily feminine shoes centered on a sense of cuteness.
