Minimalist design and earth-friendly materials. Allbirds is launching an apparel line.

Fashion and sustainability are closely linked these days, and brands that manufacture environmentally friendly products are appearing one after another.

One such company is Allbirds, which was founded in San Francisco, USA, in 2016. Their goal is to reduce the carbon footprint of their products from the raw material state to disposal to zero.

To this end, for example, we use natural materials whenever possible, measure & disclose the carbon footprint emissions of all our products, and take a variety of other earth-friendly initiatives.

The brand has developed sneakers, which have been called "the world's most comfortable sneakers," as well as underwear and socks, and now it is launching an apparel line.

T-shirt ¥6,300 in TAX

First, we introduce a T-shirt made of a new recyclable material called XO™. It contains chitosan extracted from crab shells and has an anti-odor effect.

Since this is an item that is worn frequently, such a function that keeps it clean is a nice feature.

Sweater ¥17,500 in TAX

Cardigan ¥19,000 in TAX

Sweaters and cardigans made from Allbirds' signature in-house developed merino wool. The coarser knitting process prevents them from losing their shape without sacrificing comfort.

The tight sizing makes it an ideal innerwear for the coming cold season. This item is highly versatile and can be worn in spring, fall, and winter.

Down jacket ¥33,000 in TAX (on sale in early November)

Conventional down jackets often use petroleum-derived materials and harmful fluorinated water-repellent treatment agents, but not "Allbirds.

Featuring a voluminous silhouette, this one combines the natural materials merino and tencel, and has a fluorine-free water-repellent finish.

The use of unconventional materials, such as Tencel and recycled polyester instead of feathers for the padding, makes this an eye-catching piece of clothing.

As if embodying the brand's philosophy of "the right amount of nothing," the items are minimalist in design and environmentally friendly. The items are now on sale at the official online site of .
