Wear Trees
The mystical fabric “Engi no Ito” (Fated Tree thread) is made of trees. It is a new recycled textile made from Japan’s domestic wood. The natural and faint scent from the trees embraces your body, giving you a new but nostalgic feeling of warmth.
Wondering if there was a way or place to enjoy the warmth and healing of the trees, and connect more closely with nature in our daily lives, “Engi no Ito” was born out of that thought. Wrap yourself in a cloth spun from trees, and take a deep breath. It will make you feel as if you are bathing in the forest.
