Job description

Topologie is a Franco-Japanese brand founded in 2018 by Carlos Granon and Go Urano, two friends passionate about climbing. Carlos and Go have always seen a certain aesthetic in the equipment they use to climb routes and mountains. But how to apply this aesthetic to everyday accessories? This question gave birth to Topologie in Tokyo. Since its inception, the brand's motto has been to improve everyday objects with minimalism and elegance.

In 2022, Topologie launched the concept of the Wares System. A collection composed of iPhone cases, pouches, and straps that invite customers to create their own product combination. An innovative retail experience highlighting co-creation. In-store, the Wares System is presented on furniture specially designed for this purpose by Japanese designer Keiji Takeuchi.

Over the years, the brand has expanded into several Asian countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. More recently, Topologie has established itself in France where it has been met with great success. Gradually, Topologie has partnered with Citadium, Le Printemps, Le Bon Marché, La Samaritaine, Galeries Lafayette, and Merci. Its popularity grew even more when collaborating with the electronic music label Ed Banger or the luxury brand Koché.

With its success, Topologie has gradually become a reference in the accessory industry. The brand continues its expansion worldwide by reinventing itself each season with innovative products, always with the aim of facilitating the daily lives of urban travelers. After opening 8 shops in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan in 2021 and 2020, Topologie opened its first flagship in Paris, rue du Temple. In 2024, Topologie aims to expand its European retail network by opening its first store in London, targeting the Spitalfields district.
