A Japanese knit brand with fans in Europe

C.T.plage, which started in 2007, is a knit brand with the concept of "casual yet striking knitwear." It adds a unique nuance to the silhouette in a simple design that is easy to wear every day. It is a very soft knit that is also designed with care, such as finishing the yarn so that it can be hand washed as much as possible. Knitwear products that reflect the attention to detail that is unique to Japanese women have gained a solid following even in Europe, where there are many long-established knitwear brands.

Designers Naomi Suwa and Mikako Kanaya are both women who have been involved in planning in the Japanese knitwear industry for many years. "When I wanted to work with the idea of ​​giving shape to the clothes themselves, I decided that knitwear design was a job that allows you to choose materials and threads and plan them. It's very fun to see your own ideas appear in the product as it turns a single thread into a product. The best part of knitwear planning is that even if it seems like an ordinary shape, it can be created just by changing your awareness and way of thinking. One of the greatest rewards of being a designer is being able to touch the wearer's five senses, such as ease of wear and comfort. "

The two designers who said this do a wide range of work, such as developing patterns and production processes that make the most of the characteristics of the materials and original materials, in order to pursue not only the design but also the essence of the product, and they have realized simple yet very comfortable designs.

In addition, by planning everything from the yarn stage to the finishing, they take the time to arrange the materials, taking into consideration time and space. For example, when it comes to producing colors, they dye the cotton instead of the yarn, so as to put as little strain on the yarn as possible. In particular, for autumn and winter materials, they dye most of the cotton. The difference between yarn-dyed and cotton-dyed items becomes more apparent the more you wear them. This is especially noticeable with black items.

Despite the time and effort required to create their products, C.T.plage's knitwear subtly expresses their commitment, and you can feel the difference in comfort and silhouette compared to others. As you notice things as you continue to wear them, this brand is particularly popular among experienced adults who have worn a lot of clothes.
