In recent years, from the viewpoint of sustainability, many manufacturers and brands have started manufacturing products using Japanese paper. This brand is also going to start using it from the 23SS season, but the finish is somewhat different from others.
“MHL.The "Washi" collection is based on the Japanese paper, which has been popular in Japan for centuries.
To begin with, the raw material of washi is Manila hemp, which does not require fertilizers and grows with only water in a couple of years, making it a resource that can be recycled for daily life. . Therefore, it is recognized as a sustainable material that has a low environmental impact.
In order to make the fabric, the yarn must first be made, and the sheet-like material is cut into a thin tape called a slit , which is then twisted into paper twine. Then it is twisted while being stretched further, resulting in a yarn that looks almost the same as cotton yarn.
MHL.] has taken advantage of the characteristics of Japanese paper and interwoven it with cotton to create a material that is both expressive and comfortable to wear.
Washi is a cool, yet extremely lightweight material , ideal for spring and summer. The blousons, shirts, T-shirts, and socks made from this material will surely become indispensable items for the sweaty season.
. The coloring is exquisite, as is typical of "MHL. The coloring is finished by product dyeing, so the chalk, carbon, burnt sienna, and other nuanced colors that would fit in easily in anyone's life are well expressed in the textures.
. This effort has pushed the brand to a higher level without sacrificing the relaxed mood and classy quality that it has long cherished. ." We look forward to its release on February 10 (Friday), with a keen sense of the deep conviction and technical prowess of MHL.
