「2026年8月に生地のロスの発生を抑えた衣料品「まっすぐ仕立てた」シリーズを発売しました。」

「The "Breathable" series was launched in 2021 and has expanded to 25 items for the 2026 spring/summer season. In June 2026, we launched a series of 8 household "Diluted Cleaning Products" made by mixing the products with water.」

「From December 2025, the company has been progressively expanding its “Kapok Blend Made from Tree Fruits” series. Following further improvements, it launched new shirts in lightweight, soft “Light Denim” and “Light Twill” fabrics that can be quickly thrown on, lightweight dresses, and cut-and-sew tops with a moderate thickness and structure, between T-shirts and sweatshirts.」

「Since December 2025, we have been gradually expanding the "Kapok Blend Made from Tree Nuts" series.」

「From April 2024, the company launched 8 types of personal care products, including the “Body Scrub, Cool Type,” made with 100% naturally derived ingredients.

Since its founding in 1980, it has continued to produce products focused on substance, re-examined through the selection of materials, inspection of processes and simplification of packaging, while further refining its ESG perspective.」
