ROPÉ

Established in 1990 as a different business format originating from ROPÉ, it began as a store brand combining original items with apparel and miscellaneous goods selected from around the world. Rather than simply carrying on ROPÉ’s image of women, it extends the brand’s core into a different retail experience through an assortment and in-store experience spanning womenswear and menswear. It reinterprets refined classics through both in-house designs and selected items, and is positioned among ROPÉ’s offshoots as a line with a strong store-format identity.

A line derived from ROPÉ in 1998, it was launched for women who enjoy everyday life with the feeling of going on a picnic. In contrast to ROPÉ’s refined elegance, it plays a role in expanding a daily style centered on goods, combining trends with a French sensibility. Its scope has since broadened beyond women’s clothing to include goods and kids’ items, and it serves as an entry point for experiencing ROPE’s worldview in its most everyday form.

A label launched for a limited time to mark ROPÉ’s 50th anniversary, it introduced sustainable initiatives centered on seasonlessness, agelessness, and timelessness, with the aim of carrying ROPÉ’s philosophy into the next era. It also undertook a regeneration project that made use of leftover fabric from past collections. Through material reuse and limited, small-run edits, it demonstrated an experimental character distinct from regular ROPÉ. After exploring ROPÉ’s worldview in greater depth through special projects, it ended on January 24, 2021.

A contemporary line for adult women that emerged from ROPE, it is based on French style and has connected comfortable, clean adult casualwear with everyday modes. While retaining ROPE’s refinement, it was positioned to complement it with sensibility suited to daily wear and relaxed, versatile styling, serving as an outlet for more urban, lightweight everyday clothing. In Fall/Winter 2022, M TO R relaunched, carrying on this lineage.

A dress line launched by ROPÉ in 2019, it draws inspiration from the straight-cut construction of traditional kimonos to present the feminine beauty of curves created by straight lines. It takes an ageless approach that does not limit the wearer by body type or age, and creates a variety of ways to wear its designs through constructions involving folds and layers of fabric and reversing the front and back. It extends ROPÉ’s elegance into a more sculptural and independent form of expression, while also incorporating consideration for the environment and society in its approach to garment-making.

A derivative line launched in 2021 by reworking bags that had been popular at ROPÉ throughout the year; its name is ROPÉ read backwards. Centered on ELEGANTIQUE, a combination of ELEGANCE and TECHNIQUE, it balances function and appearance for working women across three series: Y, Butterfly, and Bamboo. Dedicated to bags rather than clothing, the line complements the practicality of ROPÉ outfits and serves everyday travel and work.

M TO R was established as an independent brand by relaunching “MADEMOISELLE ROPÉ,” a line derived from ROPÉ, for the Fall/Winter 2022 season. It developed from a women’s line centered on traditional French vintage, combining original products, selected items, and vintage pieces, with denim at its core, and proposing free styling that is not bound by gender. Rather than being a line that directly reflects ROPÉ’s elegance, it occupies a new position within the brand family, building on the former offshoot line while strengthening its D2C and cultural focus.

A lifestyle shop established in 2023 by combining elements of ROPÉ and SALON adam et ropé, it is characterized by a format that brings together apparel, lifestyle goods, and a shopping experience. Centered on ROPÉ’s elegance while incorporating SALON adam et ropé’s approach to lifestyle, it creates an entry point for encountering a new self through the entire space rather than through clothing alone. Within the group, it serves to connect product offerings with experiential offerings.

LE CERCLE par ropé is an independent fashion brand developed by combining elements of both ROPÉ and ADAM ET ROPÉ. It extends the workwear, activewear, and gender-free elements of both brands into everyday clothing, with a product range designed to be easier to wear and more affordable. Rather than being a line belonging solely to ROPÉ, it is positioned as an accessible offering derived across the ROPÉ and ADAM ET ROPÉ brand family. After launching with outlets as its primary sales channel, it is now also available through the official online store.
