MUJI LABO

I just got back from Hong Kong two weeks ago, and had my first encounter with one of Muji's line, LABO. Yes, with its label MUJI LABO, the japanese label provides a new high-end housewear collection, that is representing the brand's value, which are balancing simplicity and practically, under a more refined vision. Not only comes with a cleaner cut and finer details, MUJI LABO products also labeled as "Environmentally Conscious", by their uses of organic fabrics and recycled materials. The prices is a bit steeper than their basic line, but believe me, its worth it. Just like their basic line, Muji Labo offers a minimalistic pieces of clothing that is done properly. Can't wait to get my hands on another piece of Muji Labo.

Practical | Useful | Straightforward | Edited | Simple | Wearable

Unpretentious | Comfortable | Basic | Environmental Conscious

The basic design look a bit similar to Uniform Wares watch, but the material used is very different.

Event Report : King Pins Show, Hong Kong

On June 8th-9th 2011, Our good friends at Sober Denim Co. was invited to the King Pins Show at Hong Kong. If you're wondering what is King Pins Show, here it is :

Our show is about casual wear. We desire to attract buyers who produce or market sportswear, be it jeans or any casual apparel. Specializing makes the show not just about textiles but a global supply chain. Our first Kingpins had hardware people attend, a laundry attends and today the same exists including chemical companies and fiber companies who have new, innovative products. Kingpins will always specialize in the casual area and seek to invite global players, leaders in their fields so that anyone who produces a casual wear garment will find innovation at our show. That’s a value for our customers.

Kingpins today is a show of 12-15 suppliers, and is always presented in a comfortable setting. We treat all guests as if they were coming to our home. We absolutely believe that Kingpins must feel comfortable to exhibitors and customers. Unlike the other shows that charge for water or a sandwich we feed and serve everyone, which creates a kind peace and calmness to our exhibition. One night of each show we serve a large dinner where everyone has a chance to get together and talk over drinks (NOT CHARGED) and relax to music.

This year King Pins Show was participated by Kurabo Japan and China, Knitindigo, Cone Denim Burlington, and several Denim Producers from Thailand, India, China, Italy, Korea, and also participated by Lycra, CoolMax and Cordura. This 2 days event was for invitation only, so thank you to Sober Denim Co. for sending us the event report and showing us pictures of beautiful denim such as Kurabo denim and selvage Okayama denim.
