New York milestones for Japanese jeweller Tasaki

Japanese luxury jewellery Tasaki plans to open its first US standalone store in New York City next year.

It will also be the retailer’s first directly run store in the US.

Tasaki also has a directly run store in London, plus an outlet at Hong Kong’s Lee Garden. The brand is already available at Barneys New York and Dover Street Market in New York City, Ikram in Chicago, The Webster in Miami and Capitol in North Carolina.

Founded in 1954, Tasaki began producing and selling pearls domestically before opening a design office in 1962 to create other jewellery designs. In 2009, the company hired New York City-based designer Thakoon Panichgul as creative director.

Tasaki jewellery is available in nine countries including China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan.
