Presenting wide-ranging fabrics

For the Bird fab studio, making its debut, Japan is a single, unified production region. Amassing two decades of experience in textile planning, production and sales, they have a long history of collaboration with numerous regional companies, which has paved the way for their enviable range of textile solutions. They have also consolidated their original material development prowess to ensure differentiation in fabric offerings. They are actively promoting their textile matching platform “KIZIARAI” which is open to buyers for free, including fabric samples at no charge, among other benefits. This platform encourages collaboration across different regions to make the best possible use of surplus fabrics.

On this occasion, they aim to expand their customer base by proposing multicoloured jacquard fabrics using chenille yarn. Also on show will be mohair materials for coats and featuring shaggy effects using Kasuri yarn. They also plan to introduce retro-like cupro-blend jacquard fabrics, inspired by vintage clothing.

＜ Time to Pass On to the Future ＞

Changing at an ever-quicker pace, our world has become mired in uncertainty, struggling for anchors of reassurance. And amid the hectic rush to take the next step forward, Earth is struggling to evolve. But even if our world and its values remain in flux, time passes unchanged. At this point, above all, we seek to embrace support and collective power in our lives, supplemented with the sweeter scenes we enjoy. What we crave is a chronology cocooned in cheer, encapsulating past, present and future, while looking ahead and tracing the timeline we treasure.
