Looking out at the majestic ocean, my imagination is stimulated in many different ways.
I try imagining the lives of people out there across the ocean in foreign lands.
ONE OCEAN, ALL LANDS. The ocean is one and the world is connected.
What this means is that all people in the world are connected by one ocean.
The clothing of nanamica has both the functionality to let anyone wear it comfortably and design that allows it to be worn for a long time,
regardless of where you live or how old you are.
We hope that putting on our clothing lets people feel freer and relaxed in their daily lives.
Through clothing, we share this thought with people all around the world.
Return to your free self
With this relaxing shirt and pants, you can free yourself from your busy schedule and go back to being your true self. That’s the kind of feeling you get when you wear this drop-shoulder shirt and tapered easy cargo pants setup. The fabric of both items uses covering core yarn made of cotton wrapped around a polyester core. It makes the material quick drying and also lightweight and comfortable to wear.

The message behind the unbleached tag
We create environmentally sustainable clothing that is not fixed to any certain nationality or way of thought. By doing so, we want to support a peaceful way of living. This idea is represented by the words, “ONE OCEAN, ALL LANDS. The ocean is one and the world is connected.” This is the message that we want to express with the unbleached tag on the items.
Care for the environment with sustainable materials
The moderately glossy outer material of the field jacket is original taffeta made of recycled polyester and natural merino wool. To care for the future of our planet earth, let’s wear sustainable, environmentally friendly clothes.

Changing the values that we hold within us.
I think the first time words like ‘eco’ and ‘sustainable’ came onto the scene was around 2007. With Anya Hindmarch releasing the “I am a Plastic Bag,” eco suddenly became fashionable. At the Outdoor Retailer Show that I went to every year, all the brands were beginning to offer eco and recycled items. Even the beer served at happy hour there was green in color. However, at the time it seemed to me like they were expending even more energy for the sake of ecology, and I didn’t feel it was real. Rather, I felt it would be a lot more eco to continue wearing one item of clothing for a long time, so our concept from the start of our brand has always been “Keep a little distance from trends and create high quality items that can be worn for a long time.”
Practically all functional materials are made of synthetic fibers. The development of functionality has always been dependent on technological advancements of such fibers, but just to even manufacture the material expends vast amounts of energy and water. Also, if we stop using chemical processing that negatively impacts the environment, it oftens means a few steps backward for functionality. Hence, our challenge now is to realize the high level mix of functionality and caring for the environment. Another way to approach this issue is to revisit natural fibers. Natural fibers such as wool and linen actually have amazing functionality. Creating textiles that fully draw out the functionality of natural fibers, and making clothing that utilizes these properties is one of our main concepts in recent times.
Nowadays, the topic of environmental measures is not a trend, but a pressing challenge facing the people of the world. For us at nanamica too, we can only do what we can, one small step at a time. For instance, we’ve always kept leftover cloth and made eco bags to gift our customers, and last year, we changed the water-repellant coating of all our new materials to one that doesn’t contain PFC. Starting this year, even the membercards that we hand out to our customers has been switched from plastic to an app or paper card, and we also stopped using PET bottles at our company. We are now aiming to change all of our materials to environmentally sustainable alternatives within 3 years.
We don’t want merely the result of getting change reflected in our products, but to also change the values that we hold within us.
