As soon as we laid eyes on The Label Kay and their garments, we were intrigued. We go from a genuine attraction to the fabric, to finding a fun element incorporated into the piece, and land on the level of detailed, hand-crafted love. It was an honor to have The Label Kay’s first popup at Tokyo Love Hotels, and we’re looking forward to what comes next.

She hopes her brand inspires others to have more fun with fashion and wear statement pieces that show off your personality.

Message from The Label Kay:
“I started my clothing brand from nothing and I was super unsure how it would turn out. I was nervous that people wouldn’t like the pieces I put out, however I’ve gotten so much love from everyone these past two years. I want to thank everyone that has supported me and the brand through this journey. Super big shoutout to Tokyo Love Hotels for being my first ever popup shop and allowing me to work with them.”
