Markerware's next collaboration partner is TERAS, a support for continuous employment support type A business. This is another form of sustainability.

The designer himself travels around the world to obtain high-quality materials, which he then uses to make his clothes.

MARKAWARE takes a different approach to clothing production than the usual methods, focusing on the word "sustainable" even before the SDGs were being loudly proclaimed, and realizing this in the field of fashion. The designer of the brand, Shunsuke Ishikawa, has been working to realize this concept in the field of fashion.

This time , Markerware is releasing a T-shirt in collaboration with TERAS, a Type A business for continuous employment support based in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture.

TERAS is a social welfare corporation that creates employment through handicrafts while conducting community-based activities. This time, the sashiko that these members painstakingly create are displayed on T-shirts made of original "Markerware" fabrics.

The stitch-by-stitch stitches carefully crafted by the members of "Teras" not only enhance the individuality of the wearer, but also give the wearer a sense of traditional Japanese culture. The fascination lies in the fact that they incorporate the stitching into modern designs that resemble abstract paintings, rather than as folk art.

Markawear" is always pursuing sustainability in fashion while taking into consideration the environment and human rights, and through this initiative, the company aims to support local employment and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

When we hear the word "sustainable," we tend to think of the environment and ecology, but it also includes human rights issues such as these. Wearing this T-shirt, we can think about our future in a fashionable way.
