clocomi

clocomi, which started from a producing-region weaving factory. At the base is the wish "to create communication where feelings pass through cloth." Multiplying Banshu-ori history, in-house factory technology, and designer sensibility — continuing to propose textiles that accompany daily life.

clocomi was born as a brand of Kondo Factory Co., Ltd. — with roots in "Kondo Orifu," a Banshu-ori factory founded in 1961. With third-generation Yoshiki Kondo and his designer brother Makoto at the center, leveraging techniques cultivated in the producing region and design power, the brand develops original textiles and products.

The brand name "clocomi" contains the wish to "nurture communication with users through cloth (cross)." People who pick up the cloth, those who tailor something with that cloth, and those who wear or use it — at every place the cloth passes through, the brand aims for design where small stories and connections are born.

Yarn-dyed Banshu-ori — dyeing yarn first then weaving — is characterized by color-fade resistance and patterns themselves being woven into the fabric structure. At clocomi, leveraging that characteristic, the brand plans diverse texture fabrics — three-dimensional Jacquard, gauze with good skin-touch, light lawn. From the fabric stage, design looks ahead to use scenes and finished imagery.

Beyond just fabric sales, the company also plans and develops in-house — 3-layer gauze towel "Konayuki Towel," handkerchiefs, stoles, tableware, and other cloth-related daily life items. At the online store "clocomi" and the physical store, limited items not posted online and remnants also line up — becoming a place where cloth lovers and craftsmanship lovers gather.

In the "Fanfare" series for entrance-school preparation, the brand develops production kits for lesson bags, lunch bags, and more. Pattern-free and with sewing lines — a design where handicraft beginners can also engage with peace of mind. Linking with the online store, the physical store also opens a sewing school — continuing to share "the joy of making" from the producing region.

Committed to "yarn-dyeing" — dyeing yarn first then weaving — the in-house factory also handles complex pattern expression leveraging Jacquard looms. By precisely designing colors and weave structure, the factory produces fabric strong against washing and with three-dimensional nuance.

"Delivering heart-fluttering design"
