The hair colorist* who is in charge of coloring the customer's hair uses a lot of chemicals such as hair coloring agents during salon work, so there is a possibility of staining their own clothes, so please wear an apron to work. It makes sense to
This time, "kakimoto arms" wanted to create a stylish and functional apron. Two types of apron were produced, but the indigo denim apron and denim using traceable organic cotton "TRUECOTTON" were adopted. The brown apron uses the brown denim fabric developed by the brand "THE SHISHIKUI" operated by Mr. Chiharu Dodo. "TRUECOTTON" is an environment where people working on cotton farms and those working in spinning factories that spin cotton into yarn can live healthy and bright days, and work energetically tomorrow. It is a safe and secure organic cotton made in a place with backing. We aim to spread the traceability (the value of valuing producers, methods, and land) that has already permeated the world of food to the world of fashion.
Since 2020, TOYOSHIMA has adopted the SDGs declaration, and one of its five missions is to "produce Creating materials that are friendly to the earth." In addition to apparel products that use environmentally friendly materials, we would like to continue to propose environmentally friendly lifestyle products in collaboration with people in different industries who are thinking about the future global environment.
*Hair color list: A hair color list that is widely recognized in Europe and the United States. In Japan, Kakimoto Arms has trained hair colorists for the first time since 1994, and currently has about 100 hair colorists.
We propose hair color designs that skillfully incorporate highlights and lowlights based on the “personal color” that each person has, such as skin color and eye color. Kakimoto Arms' hair coloring is an outstanding technology that cannot be obtained anywhere else, and is supported by models, celebrities, and fashion-conscious influencers.

Organic cotton yarn that can identify "farms and spinning mills".
Toyoshima & Co., Ltd. was born by signing an exclusive sales agreement with UCAK TEKSTIL, a Turkish organic spinning groove that is a representative of traceable cotton, to Japanese companies.
Since integrated management from farm to spinning can be performed, it is possible to provide organic cotton yarn that can identify "farm and spinning factory". Cotton is grown from seeds that have not been genetically modified, and is harvested by machine picking, so it is organic cotton that is less contaminated with foreign substances.
Choosing organic cotton actually protects producers from health hazards such as pesticides. It is an organic cotton yarn made in an environment where even people who work in spinning cotton factories who make yarn can feel that they will work energetically tomorrow.
