About us

Founded in a small atelier

Complex Biz was established in 1974 as a small atelier in Nagoya, a city in Japan renowned for its craftsmanship. Our founders elevated combs, hairpins, and hairclips from purely functional items to fashionable, high-end accessories and continue to be pioneers within this category.

Our exquisite designs reflect global trends, while continuing to provide the renowned quality craftsmanship of Japanese artisanal production. Each piece is meticulously designed and constructed, ensuring that our creations are wearable works of art that bring a touch of sparkle and individuality to customers’ ensembles.

The name Complex Biz embodies what we strive to represent as a business.

Complex refers to not only the intricacy of our designs but also the variety of occasions each of our pieces can be used for. Each piece is a beautiful representation of a complex mix of fashion, trend insight, quality raw materials and impeccable craftsmanship.

Biz is an allusion to “show business”. We aim to create product that entertains and sparkles, and makes the customer feel like they are the star of the show.
