The 24th Premium Textile Japan (PTJ) Spring/Summer 2024 fair, organised by JFW (Japan Fashion Week Organization), is set to be held from 24-25 May at the Tokyo International Forum / Exhibition Hall E-1 (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo Prefecture). This year's event will be on an even larger scale than last year's spring/summer edition. As we gradually emerge into the post-COVID era, the fair will host 74 exhibitors occupying 97.5 booths (*cf. PTJ 2023SS: 71 entries/92.5 booths), reflecting renewed optimism for the recovery of the apparel business.

As we at JFW announce the trend seasonal theme, 'Memories to collect as we mark the passage of time,' we are also implementing a special project, 'What's Next,' to search for upcoming textiles that could potentially become the next bestseller. Here are some of the new exhibitors at PTJ.

TAKASHIMA SARASHI (TAKASHIMA CHIJIMI)　<C-57>

A Refreshing, eco-conscious crepe texture for the fashion forward

Takashima Crepe Finishing Corporation, primarily established by weavers of chijimi (crepe fabrics) associated with Takashima Textile Industrial Association, oversees the entire production process from embossing, scouring and bleaching to dyeing, printing, drying, finishing and inspecting.

Originating in the Edo Period (1603-1868) in the western region of Shiga Prefecture, Takashima Chijimi is renowned for its distinctive embossed crepe texture. By twisting weft yarns more than twice compared to plain weave, an embossed feature is created, which minimises the fabric's contact with the skin and creates more space between threads. The result is a highly breathable, moisture-absorbent fabric perfect for Japan's hot and humid climate, with applications spanning underwear, sportswear and casual wear.

The aim of participating in PTJ is to raise awareness of the company and the textile region while also forging connections with new customers. For this occasion, they present various finishing methods, such as abrasion resistance, softening with jojoba oil and cool-touch processing - all of which align with eco-friendly practices.

FLORIA CO., LTD.　<C-50>

Premium-quality and high-grade lace

As a lace manufacturer, Floria boasts in-house original planning and design functions, along with an integrated production system within their domestic factories.

At this event, they aim to attract new customers and enhance sales with existing clients while promoting newly developed products.

Takumi materials and Kiwami laces, on the other hand, are high-value-added laces that combine different fabrics and techniques, such as extra-fine and pure gold lamé yarns, shrinkage yarns, untwisted threads, thermo-cut and foil printing.
