ABOUT

This online store is run by CoCollaborations (Coco + Collaborations), a boutique agency founded by Coco Masuda, a native of Tokyo, Japan, and a long-time resident of New York City.

The agency was based in Tribeca, NYC, since 2017 with remote staff, but now operates out of CoCollaborations Hudson, a concept store and showroom located at 438 Warren Street in Hudson, a beautiful town in Upstate New York. Warren Street is the main street of the city and the destination for visitors. 

We promote Artful Living by merging Japanese artisanry with contemporary sensibility. "Artful Living" does not mean expensive living, but a way of life that appreciates beautiful and unique things, as well as their placement and use in daily life. 

Coco carefully curates our selection, which primarily features Japanese brands and designers. However, we also wish to use the space to contribute to the local economy and offer activities. Our main client is BUNZABURO, a shibori brand based in Kyoto. Not only do we have the most extensive inventory of the brand outside of Japan, but we also handle wholesale. 

The grand opening, featuring a Matcha cafe, art exhibition, and workshop space, is scheduled for summer 2025. 

 

 This is my favorite calligraphy work by my late mother, a truly elegant woman who taught me to only purchase "authentic things."  The simple character means "mind/heart/spirit/soul." - Coco Masuda
