ROYAL CASHMERE FUR
職人の目と手で、ひとつひとつ繊細に染められたカシミヤニット。北アルプス立山連峰の裾野に位置する工場は、世界遺産の白川郷に代表される豪雪地帯。ここから流れ出るふんだんな雪解け水の中でゆったりとニットを泳がせ、美しい発色と繊細な優しい起毛感に仕上げます。一般的なファー加工はコームで表面の毛を掻き出して起毛する為、繊維が痛むだけでなく、およそ20%の原料がそこで脱落し、無駄になってしまいます。ATONでは日本の紡績メーカーによって厳重に品質管理された細番手のカシミヤを使用し、その貴重な原料を大切に使うため、美しい水での加工と、原料ロスの少ないホールガーメント(無縫製)での編立をおこなっています。
Cashmere knitwear is delicately dyed one by one by craftsmen's eyes and hands.
The factory is located at the foot of the Tateyama Mountain Range in the Northern Alps, in an area with heavy snowfall as typified by the World Heritage Site of Shirakawa-go. The knitwear is slowly and leisurely swum in the abundant melted snow water flowing from this area, resulting in beautiful colors and a delicate, gentle fur texture.
In general fur processing, fur is raised by combing out the surface hair, which not only damages the fiber but also causes approximately 20% of the raw material to fall out, resulting in waste.
ATON uses fine cashmere, which is strictly quality-controlled by Japanese spinners, and in order to use this precious raw material carefully, we process it with beautiful water and knit it by WHOLEGARMENT (no sewing), which minimizes the loss of raw material.
