CYPRIS

MORPHO Co., Ltd. — which develops CYPRIS — was founded in Tokyo in April 1995. The company name "MORPHO" comes from the genus name of the Morpho butterfly, rooted in the Greek word meaning "beautiful." As its symbol, the leather goods brand "CYPRIS" bears the name of the noble blue-shining "Cypris Morpho" butterfly.

Consistent since the brand's founding are three attitudes: "carefully selecting materials," "sticking to functionality," and "exploring techniques and striving to improve quality." Combining high-quality materials such as Cordovan and calf with traditional techniques by Japanese artisans, the brand performs careful tailoring with more processes than ordinary leather goods.

In particular, series that maximally draw out the appeal of materials have become representative of the brand — including the original leather "Shirasagi Leather" tanned in Himeji, the "Oil Shell Cordovan & Vacchetta Leather" series combining rare domestic Cordovan with Vacchetta leather from Tuscany, Italy, and the "Rainier Calf" series using the finest baby calf.

Currently, centered on men's and women's wallets, the brand develops diverse leather goods — business card cases, coin purses, pass cases, belts, bags, and stationery. Through the directly managed online shop, department stores, and specialty stores, the brand has grown into one of Japan's leading leather goods brands — supported by a wide range of users from business people to gift demand.

Production aiming for the peak of beauty — derived from the "Cypris" Morpho butterfly

The brand name "CYPRIS" comes from "Cypris Morpho" — one of the blue-shining Morpho butterflies inhabiting Central and South America. By bearing the name of a butterfly praised as the peak of beauty in the natural world, the brand expresses its determination to do "production with essential value you can love for a lifetime." From material selection to tailoring to finishing, the brand continues uncompromising production even in invisible parts.

MADE IN JAPAN leather goods pursuing functionality and durability with carefully selected materials

Using materials carefully selected from around the world — Cordovan, calf, lamb, kipskin — the brand also develops many original leathers tanned in Himeji, one of Japan's leading leather production areas. While drawing out the appeal of materials, the brand also sticks to functionality such as storage capacity, ease of use, and durability — proposing leather goods you can trust from business scenes to daily life.

Over 70% handmade ratio. Artisans inheriting traditional techniques

Artisans inheriting Japanese traditional bag-making techniques — "Kikuyose," "Nuikaeshi," "Shinobi-nui," "Fukin-machi" — perform many processes by hand. The handmade ratio exceeds 70%, and for the highest-end series, over 90% is artisan handwork. With artisans of nearly 50 years of career passing techniques to younger workers, the brand creates products for modern users.

Solid quality with 19 wins at Department Store Buyers' Awards

At the "Department Store Buyers' Award" hosted by Senken Shimbun, the brand has won consecutively from 2003 to fiscal 2019, plus fiscal 2022 and 2023 — boasting a total of 19 wins. The quality and cost performance supported by department store buyers nationwide is highly evaluated as a brand that meets the needs of "wanting to give and choose good things that last long."
