FLOWER MOUNTAIN was born thanks to the meeting of Mr. Keisuke Ota from Tokyo and Mr. Yang Chao from Beijing, united by the passion for mountain trekking, music and, of course, for footwear. The resulting friendship led them to embark on a journey together on the occasion of the “Fuji Rock Festival”, right on Mount Fuji in Japan. There they begin to design a shoe with a functional and attractive design signed Flower MOUNTAIN.
In 2015, with the collaboration of Federica Wang, the two founded first the Dandelion mountaineering association and then Breath Design co. Ltd Tokyo, then starting to work on their first collection. ShoesBar in Beijing and HPF in Tokyo embraced the project, which was also enthusiastically received by the public. In 2016, the Breath Design team joins forces with ShoesBar and the Italian company Falc, taking Flower MOUNTAIN to the next level and introducing it to international markets.
From this union a new working team was born, boasting a strong technical and production know-how with Italian headquarters and tradition, as well as a group of marketing experts and an efficient international distribution network.
