These one-of-a-kind shawls are made of Banshu-ori textile and designed to feel soft and comfortable against the skin. Slow and loose weaving creates a soft and light fabric that breathes. The delicate texture cannot be reproduced by a high-speed loom that is geared toward productivity and becomes more noticeable in the feel of the material with longer usage. The color schemes and patterns are all different, and this is a representative work of the company that can provide the joy of fashion products for people of all ages and genders.
Nishiwaki City in Hyogo Prefecture, where tamaki niime Co., Ltd. is located, has supported Japan’s textile culture as a production center of “Banshu-ori” (Banshu weave). The appeal of Banshu-ori is its rich colors created by dyeing threads in advance and weaving them in various color schemes. The technique and quality of traditional yarn-dyed fabrics are recognized worldwide. Based on the Banshu-ori technique, the company weaves, knits, dyes, sews, sells and disseminates its products in an integrated manner within the company. It also cultivates the cotton used for its materials and hopes to send the company’s manufacturing process to the world as a nature brand that is committed to self-sufficiency.
Currently, the apparel fashion industry is faced with the problems of mass production, mass consumption and mass disposal. To solve this problem, tamaki niime Co., Ltd. believes that the important thing is for people to have an attachment to what they have. Just as each individual is unique, the company invites people to find their one and only favorite shawl in the world.
