From August 29 to October 11, sacai takes over the third floor of Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche with a Parisian playground of Japanese culture, food, fashion, and creative friendship.
What happens when sacai leaves the runway and enters the world of everyday obsession? sacai TO GO. From August 29 through October 11, the Japanese label lands on the third floor of Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche as part of SUPER JAPON, transforming the department store into a constantly evolving meeting point between Japanese culture and Parisian creative energy.
Curated by Sarah Andelman, co-founder and former Creative Director of the legendary Paris concept store colette, the project feels less like a traditional pop-up and more like a temporary universe built around the people, places, tastes, and objects that surround sacai. Think fashion, food, coffee, art, design—and a rotating cast of friends who know exactly how to make Paris feel a little more unexpected.
At the heart of the experience are Toraya, the historic Japanese confectionery house, and Rocky’s Matcha, founded by Rocky Xu. Across the weekends, the space will keep changing, with a rotating selection of food and drinks from some of Paris’ most interesting Japanese-inspired and independent spots: natural wine and ice cream destination F.O.L.D.E.R.O.L, bento brand Iné, Japanese kissaten-inspired sandwich and coffee shop Benchy, seasonal Japanese cuisine from NIWA, and coffee culture hub Dreamin’ Man.
The result is deliberately hybrid. Tokyo meets Paris without either side having to play dress-up. It is Japanese culture filtered through the eyes of a creative community that understands that the best cultural exchanges happen naturally: over a coffee, around a table, through an object, or somewhere between a fashion reference and a good snack.
And because this is sacai, the souvenir is part of the story.
The pop-up introduces an exclusive selection of merchandise, including black and white T-shirts detailed with the sacai logo, MA-1-inspired elements, Rocky’s Matcha’s signature tiger graphic, and the sacai x Carhartt WIP collaboration. sacai’s signature Zantan totes, made from repurposed archive fabrics, return in limited form, alongside hand-sewn Zantan plush key charms created with Peloqoon, the art brand founded by Madoka Morikawa.
Then things get playful.
In collaboration with paper-doll label RYVDOLL, sacai reimagines its own archive as a collectible boxed set of miniature looks. The magnetic paper dolls can be mixed, matched, restyled, and rearranged, turning the sacai archive into something closer to a toy box than a museum. Fashion history, but make it interactive.
For six weeks, sacai TO GO turns Le Bon Marché into a moving collage of Tokyo references and Parisian personalities. There is no single way to experience it, and that is precisely the point. Come for the clothes, stay for the matcha. Come for the archive, leave with a plush tiger. Come for fashion, accidentally discover your new favourite coffee spot.
sacai TO GO runs from August 29 to October 11 at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, as part of SUPER JAPON. Paris, temporarily reprogrammed.
