The fashion industry is known for its significant environmental impact. Therefore, various manufacturers and apparel brands have been focusing on improving materials and recycling to achieve a sustainable society.
Amid this movement, there is a brand in Tokyo's Taito Ward that specializes in bag-making. That brand is TheContainerShop. They aim to create designs that minimize fabric waste and have established themselves with a commitment to tackling sustainability from where they can.
We spoke with Yasuharu Kobayashi, the representative, who shared the history behind the establishment of this factory brand and its philosophy of bag-making.
