A Japanese brand supported for its high-quality texture.
2007 | TOKYO, JAPAN | Yuhi Ozaki
FilMelange is a popular brand known for its comfortable, natural-material cut-and-sew garments, emphasizing "MADE IN JAPAN" quality.
Following the direction of Yuhi Ozaki, who is currently active as the designer of <SUN/KAKKE>, and Ryota Iwai, who is currently in charge of the design of <AURALEE>, Fumiya Sekiguchi took over as director in 2018.
As the brand name FilMelange suggests—meaning "mixed color yarn," or the heathered colors of traditional sweatshirts and T-shirts—they use carefully selected materials such as organic cotton. At the same time, they also engage in sustainable practices that consider the environment, such as developing items that incorporate recycled cotton without compromising on high-quality comfort.
This brand is committed to "Made in Japan," handling everything from sewing to production in-house and weaving fabrics on vintage loopwheel knitting machines, while also focusing on training skilled craftsmen. Furthermore, its commitment to introducing high-quality items not only in Japan but also around the world through collaborations with excellent brands such as Trippen, a leading German shoe brand, Descente's Mizusawa Down, and Johnstons, a supplier to the British royal family, has earned it widespread acclaim.
