Lapine Co., Ltd. produces eco bags as a novelty and online limited product to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the company's establishment, as awareness of ecology is increasing in society toward the charge for plastic shopping bags starting in July 2020. The eco bag uses 100% organic cotton from the organic cotton promotion project "ORGABITS". One yen for each eco bag will be used to support organic cotton farmers in India and support school attendance by "Peace by Peace Cotton". In addition, this time, by donating 10 yen per eco bag to the NPO Sakura Namiki Network, it will be used for the activities of the "Sakura Namiki Project" to plant cherry blossoms at the tsunami arrival point of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

We are a group of life fashion creators who create clothes that are truly loved by our customers.
What is the Orgabits Project?
"Orgabits" is an organic cotton spread project that started in 2005 with the idea that everyone should contribute "bits" to the global environment and producers.
In order to facilitate the use and popularization of organic cotton, we have adopted the "reversal idea" of delivering 10% organic cotton products to 100 times more people, regardless of the amount of 100% organic cotton used in a single piece of clothing. More than 100 fashion brands have participated in the event, producing more than 7.2 million items in total. Activities have expanded to include support for farmers in the country of origin of organic cotton and NPO corporations. 2020 marks the 15th anniversary.
