Share this blog post

This is Yamazen from the ApparelX team.

In this blog, we would like to introduce the new makers that started being handled from April 2025.


To briefly introduce each company first,


・Piacere

They specialize in hybrid textiles from the Bishu and Kiryu production areas, and the items currently listed are mainly fancy tweeds.

Since these products are generally not continuously produced, please make use of them for one-of-a-kind items. We do not offer sample cards, so please check the texture through images and videos.

・Japan Blue

A denim textile maker founded in Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, and it offers textiles under the COLLECT brand. They also make selvedge vintage denim, and you can really feel their commitment to textile production.

One-wash and enzyme wash processing are also possible, but because of the nature of the process, reproducibility is low, so variations are likely to occur. However, if you are willing to accept that as part of the charm, please feel free to contact us.

・Shinko

Shinko carries many interior materials for the Sincol brand, as well as textiles for bags, pouches, and miscellaneous goods. They handle many textiles that are hard to find elsewhere, such as woven fabrics, synthetic leather, and aluminum-coated textiles.

Not only bag textiles but also textiles for interiors are listed, so please consider new ways to use textiles. Test data can also be requested.

・Tokyo Tagawa

While also handling OEM for rain umbrellas and sun umbrellas, they carry waterproof textiles. They achieve a level of waterproofing different from the water repellency used for apparel, such as for outdoor use.

If you would like to make items such as sun umbrellas as novelties, please contact us and we can arrange them for you, so please feel free to inquire.

・Coral

They carry many textiles for bridal, dance, and stage costumes, and in particular they handle many textiles not found elsewhere, such as glittering gold textiles. The product names are a little unusual and distinctive.

・Kamiishii

A maker that handles metal parts for apparel and bags, their parts are made with molds crafted by artisans and designed with the angle of light reflection in mind. They are metal parts that combine the warmth and softness of craftsmanship with beauty.

They use sand-based mold making, so rather than being industrial products, they have a stronger handcrafted element and are priced higher than others, but they are metal parts that add value to garments.

Only brass color is listed, but custom plating is also possible, so please contact us.

We will also continue creating articles that focus on each maker, so we hope you will look forward to them.
