NEEDLES

Launched in 1995, NEEDLES is a brand designed by Keizo Shimizu, the representative of NEPENTHES.

The brand was launched as a reflection of the worldview that he has developed through his long experience as a buyer in various countries around the world.

Recently, the group has been expanding its scope of activity, collaborating with internationally renowned artists and setting up shop at festivals held around the world.

REBUILD BY NEEDLES

REBUILD BY NEEDLES, which was launched as a new line within the collection, offers items such as flannel shirts, T-shirts, and pants that are reconstructed by dismantling used items and adding new elements.

The word used is rebuild rather than remake, but rather than remaking old clothes, the idea is to reconstruct them from scratch and create new, valuable clothes, giving them new life, and each piece is unique.

Features of NEEDLES

Commitment to domestic production

NEEDLES products are primarily made in Japan, boasting world-class sewing techniques and quality.

While NEEDLES maintains an extraordinary commitment to Made in the USA, its role has always been to fill in the gaps that import brands cannot.

Fans are enthralled by the attention to detail in the domestically produced construction and design, which has given the brand an unshakable presence.
