It took about 3 years to develop Spun yarn with gloss and whiteness that meets the demands of Kamakura shirts.

 In addition, by taking advantage of the whiteness created by Australian cotton and reducing the amount of chemicals such as fluorescent agents used in the thread dyeing process of our partner factories, we are reducing the environmental burden. Not only the raw materials, but also the materials and shirts that are particular about sustainable production have been completed.
