Fabrics made with circular knitting machines are of high quality and are used by various brands. Our fabrics are knitted by a long-established factory in Wakayama. After being shown around the retro factory, we were led to a separate room in the office. In that room were sample products from many famous brands. It was a humbling experience to realize that we are using the same fabrics as these brands.
"There are many brands, but I guess all we can do is keep working steadily." Yoshikuni had just started. While there were still many things that didn't go as planned, the president's words resonated deeply with me.
This factory, where artisans slowly knit thick fabrics with circular knitting machines, cherishes their lives by fishing in the morning or playing the guitar, all while diligently dedicating themselves to their work. Yoshikuni's fabrics are born in this place, far from the big city.
Due to an agreement with the factory, we cannot post the company name or photos on social media. However, we have posted photos of the circular knitting machines actually operating in this factory on our e-commerce site.
"We just have to keep working steadily." With the president's words in mind, we will move forward so that these fabrics can reach as many people as possible.
