Environmental responsibility is treated as a long-term obligation, guiding decisions that favour durability, honesty, and thoughtful production.
Manufacturing takes place exclusively in Japan, in regions such as Fukuyama, Wakayama, and Gifu, where generations of specialised knowledge continue to define the highest standards of textile and garment production.
Fukuyama's textile industry predates denim itself. Long before jeans existed, Edo-era 'Bingo-kasuri' was born from repetition, patience, and labor; a fabric meant to endure work, weather and time.
When denim production took hold in Japan, Fukuyama naturally became its backbone. Today, the majority of Japanese denim fabric is still woven in and around this area; a culture of indigo and workwear cloth built for everyday life.

Sustainability is approached through restraint. Materials are selected for longevity, repair, and continued use, not seasonal relevance. Production is kept within small, specialised facilities where waste is minimised by intent rather than correction. Packaging is reduced to its function, using paper and reusable materials so that nothing remains without purpose.
The value of a garment is ultimately defined by how long it is lived in.
