Secrets are sometimes a good thing. This happens to be the case with a tiny, luxury store tucked away in a row house on U Street in Washington, DC. Moojoo Ken means "unconditional" in Japanese, as the owners have drawn on their extensive travels to inspire their collection.

The cozy boutique offers up a colorful, eclectic line that features a childhood dream emblem. The collection of unique handbags, shoes, and boots take their names from historic and exciting Washington, DC neighborhoods, streets, and locales.

All of the Moojoo Ken brand line contains some shape or form of the emblem. A pair of funky, black platform pumps can be matched with a similar patterned handbag. And almost every handbag, shoe or boot is a brother, sister or cousin to another. Washington, DC may not be known for clothing and accessory designers, but Moojoo Ken is trying to change that perception. We have worked for a whole year designing, printing, making samples, correcting, redoing, in other words, striving to create an exemplary, finished product.
