“TRUECOTTON” developed by Toyoshima is an environment where people who work on cotton farms can lead healthy and cheerful days, and people who work at spinning factories that spin cotton to make yarn can work energetically tomorrow. It is safe and secure organic cotton made in a proven location. We aim to spread the values of valuing producers, methods, and land into the world of fashion.
Ron Herman has set the goal of “shifting the main materials of the original brand to sustainable materials” in its sustainability vision, and is working towards realizing it. In 2021, the company developed “the BEAUTIFUL,” a project that produced items by reducing environmental impact and moving to the Japanese production background while maintaining simple and beautiful designs.Toyoshima’s TRUECOTTON and waste ingredients are reused as dyes. The fabric from FOOD TEXTILE was used.
A total of 8 types of knitwear (4 types for women, 4 types for men) that will be released at Ron Herman stores from Friday, December 1, 2023, will be made from plant-based products developed by TRUECOTTON of Toyoshima and Spiber, a bioventure. The mixed material used is Brewed Protein(TM) fiber, an artificial protein material made from biomass as the main raw material and using a microbial fermentation process. Brewed Protein(TM) fiber is said to be the most revolutionary material since polyester, and enables sustainable production that does not rely on depleted resources or animal resources as the main raw material.
As the importance of fashion’s impact on the environment is growing, we hope that by adopting TRUECOTTON, we will be able to expand the use of materials that are produced in a way that is considerate of the global environment and people’s lives, and will be a step towards creating a better future. I hope.
