I want to make things from a woman's perspective in the kimono industry.
A few years ago, an acquaintance took me to Hataya, the source of Tango chirimen, and I saw various woven patterns of chirimen for the first time. I was amazed at the high quality of the kimono cloth that has been made as a luxury product, earnestly, stubbornly, and extremely carefully.
However, unlike other traditional industries, the aging of the population is progressing even in Tango, and the old machine shops and craftsmen who maintain the machines are going out of business one after another. I launched the silk scarf brand filtango with the desire to bring to the world not only expensive kimonos that may not be able to make such beautiful silk cloth in the future, but also items that are easy to wear on a daily basis and at an affordable price.
I didn't know anything about the kimono industry, but there were many women among the craftsmen and in-house workers in Tango, and I was able to create high-quality products together with the craftsmen while experiencing the depth of Tango's craftsmanship, which has been going on since before the Edo period. On the other hand, there are almost no women serving customers at wholesalers and dealerships. In other words, for better or worse, there are some things that have not changed since the Edo period, and I sometimes felt that there was not much manufacturing from a woman's perspective.
In this area, where there are many skilled women, we planned a workshop on body wash making with female presidents who make the same things to see if we could make small items that can be used in everyday life by utilizing Tango's silk thread, and filtango lab was born.
The brand name is a combination of fil yarn, tango, and lab.
We aim to create high-quality silk, which has been a presence that can be enjoyed and admired, and that it has functions for health and beauty in accordance with the times, and that it can be used in everyday life.
What are we doing?
Using yarn that can only be made in Tango, manufacturing with women who have been responsible for industry
From my experience as a knitwear designer for many years, I know "how to knit" by looking at the yarn. The idea for body wash was born when I saw a bundle of yarn at a factory that makes Tango chirimen, a high-end kimono fabric that has been in business for 100 years.
The biggest feature of Tango Chirimen is the twisting of the yarn that takes advantage of the humid climate of Tango. The fibers are too weak to be used as they are, so twist = twist to make yarn. In the clothes we usually wear, it is about 200 to 600 times per meter, but at Tango Chirimen, we twist it 2000 to 4000 times per meter, which is a tremendous amount.
Ultra-fine silk threads are easy to break when dry. The threads used to weave cloth are also easy to break.
Both silk cloth and thread become rusty when they dry out too much.
But in Tango, the flexibility of the silk thread is always protected by the natural humidity.
As for how humid it is, I have only seen dead leaves dancing in the fall on TV, not to mention the hot and humid summer, and there is a lot of snow in the winter and the laundry does not dry. Without this humidity, yarn and tango chirimen would not be possible.
In addition, the yarn twisted by Tango's technology retains the natural silk protein "sericin". Taking advantage of these two features is the "dark silk body wash".
The products are knitted by women in their 70s and older living in Tango. In the past, there are many women in Tango who have been involved in local industries such as machine shops and sericulture, and who have supported the industry behind the scenes, called "in-house workers." Through my involvement with them, I developed a feeling that it was a production area that included them.
In the future, we would like to continue our business style with low costs, such as not having an office or store, and be a brand that can pay fair compensation to creators.
This is where the yarn of the body wash is made.
Commitment to the product
The skin-beautifying ingredient called sericin, which is originally attached to silkworms and cocoons, is bundled with 150 threads that have been sufficiently drawn out by processing, and knitted by hand one by one.
When you touch it, it is crunchy with the texture of sericin, but when you soak it in hot water, it becomes soft.
The fibers reach the fine parts of the skin, and the power of silk gently and firmly exfoliates and cleanses cleanly. The material is made only from natural materials and does not contain any chemicals such as fungicides.
【How to use】
Please use it with your usual soap or body soap.
After use, wash it thoroughly, wring it out, and hang it to dry.
From time to time, it is recommended to put it in a net, wash it, and dry it in the sun.
