Background of Development

In the manufacturing process of Kariyushi wear, scraps and remnants of fabric are generated when cutting the fabric. It is difficult to reuse them due to print stains, scratches, or insufficient length of fabric, and polyester material used for blouses and dresses, in particular, is often discarded.

MAJUN OKINAWA" products are all original designs planned by the company, and the designer's desire that "it would be a waste to throw them away" led to the development of products using scrap materials. The idea was born from the designer's desire that "it would be a waste to throw them away." Noticing that many of the discarded scraps had gorgeous feminine colors and patterns, she asked herself, "Couldn't these be used as accessories for women? This new product was born from this idea.

Initiatives of MAJUN OKINAWA

MAJUN OKINAWA" is committed to contributing to the promotion of Okinawa's apparel industry and the development of lifestyle and culture, as well as to becoming an environmentally friendly brand for the realization of a sustainable society. As part of this effort, we requested the production of the products to be released this time to labor support offices for the handicapped in Okinawa Prefecture through the Okinawa Serp Center, a general incorporated association, and jointly produced the products with two such offices.

In addition, we dispatched staff who had honed their sewing techniques and sewing machine equipment maintenance skills at our sewing factory to the workplaces. By providing sewing instruction and lectures on equipment maintenance, we are also making efforts to improve the skills of the offices.
