Founded in 1866 , Makita Shoten is the only factory in the world that carries out all production processes, from weaving umbrella fabric to assembling the umbrellas. This time, Makita Shoten's textile designers will be presenting sustainable products made from yarns they have collected over the years.

 

A wide variety of threads are collected at textile factories. Some threads are woven into fabric and shipped, but of course, some are not. Makita Shoten has long treasured this beautiful thread dyed with spring water from Mount Fuji, hoping to one day make use of it.

Questioning the consumer society that changes with the times, Makita Shoten has been proposing umbrellas that we hope people will use for a long time. Now that we are able to freely manufacture original products, the time has come to use " YARN = thread."

Using this collection of yarns, we have created textile designs with textures that make you want to touch them, and each umbrella and textile item is handcrafted by an artisan. As these items are made using limited yarns from dead stock, they are all limited in quantity.

We consider the fabric design to match the thread. Please enjoy the unveiling of this luxurious umbrella.

【 Product lineup 】

(Left) feel.t : A limited edition umbrella made from yarn from the collection. Please also take a look at the textiles created from the yarn.
(Center) mozaique shushu : A scrunchie from the vintage collection of textiles that Makita Shoten has produced up until now.
(Right) moZaiQue : A one- of-a-kind original parasol made from a combination of various materials such as silk, cupra, and linen.


On Tuesday , May 18th , we will be holding an order event for our custom-made parasol, " moZaiQue."

Additionally, attendees of the event will receive a free gift if they follow us on Instagram or Facebook. Please show the staff your follow screen. You can also follow us on the spot! (Please note that free gifts will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. We are also happy to help you choose the color and pattern.)

Why not take this opportunity to experience a one-of-a-kind "encounter with a special umbrella"?

[ SPIRAL ]
This multi-purpose cultural facility opened in Aoyama, Tokyo in 1985. With the theme of "integrating art and life," it offers a variety of proposals aimed at realizing a rich lifestyle. This means offering ways to casually enjoy high-quality artistic activities in everyday life, and to make everyday life itself more artistic. It offers a way for urban dwellers to enjoy the space and relax in their daily lives.
