 ■Development with a focus on creativity

Toko Shoji Co., Ltd.

At the upcoming Milano Unica, Toko Shoji Co., Ltd. will present a colourful array of creative and original materials designed from jersey, lace, and other fabrics. For its denim series, the company has developed new varieties of Tencel denim and cotton jersey denim to accompany the traditional cotton. It will also be unveiling a new material made by subjecting cotton denim to a tanning process and then embossing it to create animal patterns. Toko Shoji has expanded its lace selection as well, giving particular focus to raschel lace.

At Premiere Vision in Paris, Toko Shoji will offer a variety of easy-to-wear materials imbued with a three-dimensional feel through the use of uneven textures and colour gradations. These remarkable results are produced through the combination of several different materials, applying polyester, nylon, and lamé thread to cotton, hemp, wool, viscose, and other fabrics.

Rather than placing the focus on cost, Toko Shoji stands apart as a company that chooses to emphasise creativity in the development of its products.
