Hello. I'm Ozaki from the ApparelX Sustainability Team.


Starting this month, we will be introducing recommended sustainable products featured on ApparelX every month!


Nowadays, there is an increasing demand for sustainability in the materials used in apparel products, from the outer fabric to the accessories.

I hope you will find this information useful.


EXCY SILK COLLECTION

For this first commemorative issue, we will be introducing our company Okura Shoji Shoji's original silk series!

As many of you may know, silk is a fiber made from the cocoons produced by silkworms.
It is a natural animal fiber whose main component is animal protein.
Therefore, it is considered a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material.

Recently, when it comes to the sustainability of materials, there has been a lot of emphasis on their biodegradability, or whether they can be returned to nature after disposal.
In that sense, silk is a fiber that is attracting attention.

In addition, the production process is also highly rated as it produces little waste, as the components extracted from the pupae can be used as fertilizer.

At Okura Shoji, we stock a variety of silk materials in various product number!
This time we will introduce some particularly recommended product number.


SLK120 pure silk habutai 12 momme

This is a standard product in Okura Shoji's Silk series.

It is a 12 momme habutai. It is available in over 90 colors and is a very versatile product.

Cupra is a biodegradable material for lining, but as cupra production has been unstable recently, I would also recommend using luxurious silk for the lining.


SLK200 pure silk crepe 20 momme

This is 20 momme satin crepe, which has not only a glossy finish but also an elegant texture.

It is recommended not only for reverse side or partial use, but also as outer fabric.


SLK270 pure silk Twill 16 momme

This is 16 momme twill.

This fabric is also made of twill and has a certain amount of industry weight, so it is also recommended for the lining or outer surface of a coat.


Conclusion

This time, as the first in our series of sustainable products, we introduced our company's silk series.

We will continue to introduce more sustainable materials, so be sure to check back!
