This cool and elegant washi x Peruvian cotton knit skirt from FACTORY is knitted with a special yarn that combines Japanese traditional material washi yarn with high-quality cotton yarn grown in Peru in South America.

You'll love it every time it touches your skin

This knit skirt is made of a twisted yarn made from washi paper yarn and Peruvian cotton. The lightness and crispness unique to washi paper and the softness and elegant luster unique to Peruvian cotton combine to create a unique texture that is unlike any other. It is also great that it does not lose its shape because it has low elasticity, and it maintains its beautiful shape for a long time.

The design is a balloon silhouette with a soft and three-dimensional look. The natural fullness gently covers the hip line and thighs. The waist is stretchy and not tight, so it is comfortable for everyday use. You can tuck in your top and wear it neatly without it being bulky.

Available in three colors: black, navy, and pale gray, which is dyed with pine soot. The gray is a traditional color that uses soot obtained by burning pine roots and wood as a dye, and has a natural unevenness and depth of color. It has a calm tone but a sophisticated atmosphere. It goes well with a blouse or cut-and-sew for an elegant look, as well as a relaxed summer knit and sandals. Because it is simple, you can enjoy various styles depending on the top you wear.

A unique atmosphere created by your own hands

The predecessor of the brand was a boutique that started in 1978. Originally, the company started out as a store selling purchased clothes, but in 1983 they changed their policy to manufacture all of their products in-house, built a factory behind the store, and launched the brand "FACTORY" to develop original clothing.

The brand started with just one sewing machine, and as more and more people joined, they continued to make clothes that fit the customer's body. In 1990, they wanted to make more original products, so they went overseas in search of materials and established a dyeing studio. Although they were small, they continued to make clothes with a particular attention to detail, and the current form of creation was born, where they handle all of the planning, material development, manufacturing, and production themselves.

All of FACTORY's design patterns are created in a design atelier in Tokyo. Staff members who have gained experience in collection brands and have practiced pattern making create all of the shapes using three-dimensional cutting, and by repeatedly sewing samples, they create one-of-a-kind clothes that are "comfortable to wear without being bound by trends" and "simple, but a little unique." The clothes are then made based on the patterns they have created at their own factory in Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture. Not only is cutting and sewing done, but the company also has an attached dyeing factory where they dye the products and raw materials. This manufacturing style is so consistent that it even reflects the atmosphere of Ashikaga, a place that has a long history of textile manufacturing, in the clothes.
