LAUNER LONDON arrives at Kyoto Isetan November 3: QE II 100 bags in British Fair Part 2
The Kyoto Isetan appearance runs November 3–8, with QE II 100 designs, TRAVIATA, TURANDOT and small leather goods. Check the brand’s dates before planning a visit.
If a Kyoto trip includes seeing LAUNER LONDON handbags, the relevant dates are November 3–8, rather than the British Fair’s opening day of October 27. The brand joins Part 2 of JR Kyoto Isetan’s British Fair 2026 on the tenth-floor event space, presenting handbags and small leather goods. Highlights include the QE II 100 series marking the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth, alongside TRAVIATA and TURANDOT.
Start by comparing silhouettes and metal details. The released photographs show structured outlines, slender handles and rope-inspired emblems, but do not establish identical dimensions, prices or stock across every design. If you have a particular colour or shape in mind, noting the complete model name is more useful than relying on a single campaign picture at the counter.
QE II 100: look closely at the emblem
The QE II 100 series reinterprets the brand’s rope emblem for the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth, combining plated detailing and small crystals. A commemorative name does not establish investment returns. A more practical comparison is the hardware’s scale and finish against the clothes and occasions for which you would use the bag.
A released cream-coloured bag photograph shows a single handle, a flap silhouette and gold-toned emblem, with metal decoration at the handle bases. Those are visible exterior features, not evidence of its internal compartments, shoulder-strap accessories or capacity. Before visiting, note the dimensions of the phone and wallet you carry, then ask about the actual product specifications.

TRAVIATA and TURANDOT offer different structures
TRAVIATA combines a structured body with rope-inspired hardware; its name refers to La Traviata. Brand material describes it as one of Queen Elizabeth II’s cherished handbag designs. That history does not mean every bag on display belonged to the Queen, nor does the association establish authenticity or future financial value.
TURANDOT is distinguished by a framed opening and double handles. Compare the opening mechanism, handle feel and proportions rather than colour alone. Wallets, coin purses and other leather items are also planned. No verified item-by-item price or quantity list is provided here, so prices from other markets should not stand in for the Japanese counter’s quote.
Part 2 only, with an earlier final-day finish
The wider fair’s Part 1 runs October 27–November 1; the venue closes November 2 for changeover. LAUNER LONDON appears only in Part 2, November 3–8, on JR Kyoto Isetan’s tenth floor. Usual department-store hours are 10 a.m.–8 p.m. Japan time, while the event finishes at 6 p.m. on November 8. Use local Japanese clock times when planning a visit.
Check the department store’s current event information and the brand’s attendance before travelling, and allow alternatives if an item sells out. Photographs are not promises that every pictured item will be available. Confirm the correct phase first, then the model, colour, dimensions and price, to avoid arriving during Part 1 before the brand has moved in.
