The Story

Mico Gabardine

Infused with an iridescent, beetle-wing lustre that shifts with every angle of light, "Mico Gabardine" brings understated elegance to daily life. Woven with ultra-high density in the Banshu (Hyogo) region using premium three-ply cotton yarn, it achieves a flawless surface. Highly wrinkle-resistant, it effortlessly maintains a beautiful, sharp silhouette with a luxurious feel.

Banshu-ori Textiles

Nestled in the lush, nature-rich region of Nishiwaki, Hyogo, hatsutoki fabrics are crafted using traditional banshu-ori (播州織) techniques that date back over 200 years.

Blessed with abundant, crystal-clear river water perfect for yarn-dyeing, this historic textile hub is renowned for its premium quality. By weaving together intricately pre-dyed yarns, we create fabrics defined by their stunning depth of colour, poetic textures, and an incredibly soft touch against the skin.

Every thread carries the serenity of our natural surroundings and the meticulous craftsmanship of local artisans.
