Trusted by Customers Since 1929

小倉メリヤス看板

Established in 1929 in Sumida, Tokyo, we began with OEM production of baby and children’s clothing. Over the years, we have expanded into a comprehensive production system that covers men’s wear, women’s wear, accessories, and all apparel categories.
Today, with our mission as a “Support Team for the Textile Industry”, we have built strong partnerships with diverse domestic cut-and-sewn and woven fabric factories nationwide.
Beyond the apparel sector, we also collaborate with leading department stores, sports clubs, bedding manufacturers, and many other non-apparel industries.

Pioneering Sustainable Manufacturing for 100 Years

SDGs
  • Environmentally conscious factory with completely formaldehyde-free production
  • A century of responsible business operations
  • Commitment to fair and supportive working environments
  • “Zero-waste manufacturing” — producing only what’s needed

Together, toward a sustainable future for the fashion industry.

Our unique strengths come from our origins as a baby and children’s clothing manufacturer.

We strictly exclude any materials and processes containing formaldehyde across all our products. With comprehensive management—not partial control—we eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.
