Hender Scheme
Putting "gender" aside for a moment — then choosing by appearance and feel.
Hender Scheme frames "sex" as physical/biological differences and "gender" as social/cultural ones. While respecting the idea of sex, the brand proposes choosing without passing through gender in outward appearance. In the official online shop, items are organized into categories like shoes, comono, and bags. A repair menu is also available to order online.
PROFILE Company & Brand Story
The ABOUT section lays out the brand's core idea: sex as physical and biological differences, and gender as social and cultural ones. While respecting sex-based differences, Hender Scheme aims for a way of choosing that does not rely on gender in outward appearance — proposing a concept that surpasses the gender schema.
In the official online shop, categories such as shoes, comono, and bags sit alongside wear, books, and care. The structure is simple, almost like walking through shelves — so you can start from whatever catches your eye. You will also find category names like manual industrial products and small leather goods.
To experience the brand in person, visit the flagship shops "sukima" in Ebisu, Kappabashi, Miyashita Park, Osaka, or Fukuoka. Kappabashi is also where effect_lab stamping is available. For aftercare, the repair menu can be ordered online, and a dedicated contact is provided for repair requests beyond the standard online plans ([email protected]).
Beyond the gender schema
Starting from the difference between sex and gender, Hender Scheme proposes a concept that goes beyond the gender schema shaped by experience and environment — while keeping respect for sex-based differences.
