In recent years, fashion brands have continued to place a premium on brand, with a proliferation of "fabless" brands that do not own factories.
These products are subject to trends, designs are simply consumed, and homogenization is inevitable. Sensing a sense of crisis, we opened our own factory in Saitama Prefecture, where the company was founded.
The relationship between brand and factory we aim for is not a "factory brand" but a "brand factory."
It is a factory that originates from the brand, where the designer's philosophy is instilled in the engineers and quality can be guaranteed.
Rather than being a fabless brand (a brand that does not have a factory), we create products in line with the brand's identity as a manufacture (with an integrated production system) that can guarantee product quality.
Value created by the hands : Aristotle's words
"The hand is the tool of tools."
This phrase symbolizes the essence of our manufacturing.
The hand is not just an organ, but a symbol of creation and evolution.
In our factory, students use a variety of tools with their own hands, learn knowledge, skills and sensibilities, and express the outstanding techniques they have cultivated to the world, passing them on to the next generation.
What is born from this is not just clothing, but a work of art that intersects with history, present and future.
