Everything we release is produced in Occitania — not in a factory, not abroad. A proudly artisanal approach, a deliberately limited production.
japan style was born from a simple conviction: what we wear deserves to be made seriously, close to home, by hands that know what they are doing.
Our workshop is in Occitania. Not an anonymous supplier — a real workspace, with real equipment and real people. Every piece you order passes through here before it reaches you.
It is slower than mass outsourcing. That is also why our runs never exceed a few hundred units.
Every motif is applied in our workshop, on selected fabric, with the care one gives to a piece one signs. No automated pipeline, no race to the bottom.
The visuals are designed to last — how a piece looks after washing is as important as how it looks straight out of the workshop. We do not release anything we would not wear ourselves.
Every piece is inspected individually before being packaged. A defect and it does not leave.
T-shirts are cut from a jersey cotton selected for its hand feel and structure. A fabric everyone knows, in its honest version: serious weight, genuine softness, a silhouette that holds over time.
Our crew-neck sweatshirts are made from dense 290 g/m² fleece, 60% cotton / 40% recycled polyester — not the lightweight basics that lose their shape after five washes. A weight that gives body, drape and warmth without being a blanket.
The visuals are applied to withstand everyday use. Repeated washing, friction, light — we test before releasing a colourway, not after. What we sell must deliver what we promise.
Every piece is visually inspected before packaging. Not an automated check, not a simple tally. We examine the visual, the cut, the labelling. When something is not right, it does not ship.
Each japan style capsule is limited to 80 to 200 units, never more. Not a marketing strategy — a physical constraint. With a human-scale workshop, that is what we can do properly.
This has a direct consequence for you: when a piece sells out, it is gone. No restock, no 'second wave'. What you have, few others do.
And for us, it is what allows us to never cut corners on quality. A short run is a run we can still monitor piece by piece.
