“Pas de Calais designs are perfect for Kisan shoppers,” said store co-owner Thorunn Anspach. “The fall 2013 line features the perfect mix of style, comfort, and luxury that we seek out in all of the clothes and accessories that we offer.”
The coats, dresses and tops from Pas de Calais are inspired by the rugged beauty of Northern France, overlooking the English Channel. Anspach and co-owner Olivier Bremond selected easy-to-wear dresses, glen-plaid coats, and comfortable, yet stylist tops from the collection.

“Yukari Soda choses colors based on the French countryside,” said Bremond. “For fall and winter, they are perfect neutrals, including classic navy, black, and shades of gray that are perfect to accessorize.”
The luxury shoe designs carried by Kisan are the perfect accompaniment to the Pas de Calais line. Robert Clergerie’s fall footwear is a popular choice. These stylish women’s designs have been renowned for decades for their particular mix of Parisian style, British flair and revolutionary edge. The wedge styles and oxfords offered at Kisan feature quality craftsmanship and incredible comfort.
