Flower Mountain was born from the meeting between Keisuke Ota from Tokyo and Mr. Yang Chao from Beijing, who discovered that they had a common passion for mountain hiking, musicand obviously footwear. They became good friends and decided to take a trip to the Mount Fuji Fuji Rock Festival” where they came up with the idea of designing a functional andattractive shoe called Flower MOUNTAIN. In 2015 they founded, together with Federica Wang, the Dandelion mountaineering association and later Breath Design co. Ltd Tokyo. They then began to design their first shoe collection. Shoes Bar Beijing and HPF in Tokyo immediately embraced the project and the public responded enthusiastically.
In 2016, the Breath Design team joined forces with ShoesBar and the Italian company Falc SpA (public limited company), taking Flower MOUNTAIN to a whole new level and introducing the brand to international markets. The new team can legitimately claim to have the most advanced technical and production know-how on the market, based on Italian tradition, as well as numerous marketing specialists and an extensive international distribution network.
