Final Home

Founded in 1994 by designer Kosuke Tsumura under the support of Issey Miyake, Final Home became one of the most radical Japanese labels of the 1990s. Conceived as a response to urban survival and social uncertainty, the brand is best known for its iconic nylon survival jacket, covered with transparent zippered pockets designed to be filled with food, newspapers, or padding for warmth. This conceptual approach positioned Final Home at the crossroads of fashion, function, and social commentary, setting it apart from other experimental labels of the decade.
Beyond the survival jacket, Final Home produced a wide range of modular outerwear, technical bags, and experimental garments that explored themes of adaptability, self-protection, and resilience. The use of lightweight, packable nylon and multi-functional design elements gave the clothing a futuristic and utilitarian edge that resonated with both avant-garde fashion circles and practical-minded wearers.
Today, Final Home archive pieces are highly sought after by collectors worldwide. Vintage survival jackets, backpacks, and rare capsule collections remain central to the label’s cult following, representing not only innovative design but also a unique reflection of the social and cultural anxieties of the late 20th century. As a result, Final Home stands as one of the most important references in Japanese archive fashion, alongside labels like Issey Miyake, Undercover, and Comme des Garçons.
