Who are supporting us?
Representative Karasawa himself initially had a negative negative about "veganism" and started the brand fashion business with the aim of understanding diverse values and motivation for sustainable lifestyles through familiar fashion. In addition, we aim to solve environmental problems caused by the livestock industry by developing products using plant-derived vegan leather such as "apple leather" that is friendly to animals and the environment.
Worldview: It is a brand that strives to convey not only fashion but also the intention of "why do we deliver products using apple leather?" in an easy-to-understand content.
Design: The brand offers a symbolic design that is reminiscent of apples, as well as a rounded silhouette and stitching.

[About Apple Leather]
The raw material of "apple skin (apple leather)" used as a material for the product contains about 20%~30% bio-ingredients derived from apples that are upcycled from the squeezed dregs of discarded apple juice. This is due to the reduction of the percentage of petroleum resin in vegan leather, which is normally made from 100% petroleum, so it is possible to reduce carbon dioxide emissions during the production and disposal of the material. In addition, compared to animal leather, it emits about 7 times less CO2.
There are many female customers in their late 20s to 40s who are interested in ethical sustainability, and we often hear them say, "I was looking for a sustainable item with a high design!"
On the other hand, we are also developing unisex items that can be used regardless of age or gender.
