■Mainly used materials

HEMP

Hemp is resistant to pests and is an environmentally friendly eco-material that does not require pesticides or chemical fertilizers during cultivation.
It is attracting attention as a sustainable plant that requires little cultivation effort and has a low impact on the global environment.

Hemp is a versatile plant that is used not only for clothing, but also for food, oil, and even as a material for bioplastics that return to the soil.
It has been used in Japan since ancient times, and has been used as a material for clothing and hemp rope for about 8,000 years.

The hemp used in THE ONENESS is a special material that recreates the texture of traditional Japanese hemp.
Unlike the typical stiff texture of hemp, this fabric is characterized by its soft and voluminous feel.
Its charm lies in the elegant look created by the lustrous, soft wrinkles that develop rather than sharp ones.

----------------------------------

ORGANIC COTTON

This cotton is grown using organic farming methods that work in harmony with nature's cycles.
As more people use organic farming and organic farmland expands, it will also help reduce the burden on the environment.

Unlike regular cotton, organic cotton is a material that is kind to both people and the planet, as it is carefully cultivated over time with great care and effort.
This refers to cotton grown on farmland certified by a public certification body, adhering to strict standards for pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

THE ONENESS uses materials from the "Peace India Project," promoted by ACE, a certified NGO whose profits go towards supporting children in Telangana, India.

----------------------------------

ECO LEATHER

Japanese Eco Leather utilizes natural hides from livestock that are produced as a by-product of food production.
This refers to environmentally friendly leather materials manufactured in factories where wastewater and waste are properly managed.

Throughout the entire product lifecycle, from manufacturing and transportation to sales and reuse,
It is recognized as leather that takes environmental impact reduction into consideration.

Furthermore, harmful chemical substances such as formaldehyde, heavy metals, PCP, and prohibited azo dyes must be below the standard levels.
The absence of carcinogenic dyes is also an important criterion.

THE ONENESS uses horsehide leather that has been treated with oil twice.
It uses Eco Leather, which has a soft and smooth texture.

RECYCLED POLYESTER

This is a recycled fiber material made from recycled materials such as plastic bottles, polyester clothing, and textile waste.

Since around 2015, efforts have been made in earnest, mainly in Europe and the United States.
In recent years, technological advancements have led to a significant improvement in quality.
With growing environmental awareness, this material is expected to see even greater demand in the future.

THE ONENESS uses recycled polyester material and employs a hand-rubbed print that produces no wastewater.
The CROSS dot pattern is expressed using varying shades of black on a black fabric.

It features moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and UV protection (UPF50+) functions.
It is an eco-friendly, sustainable, and high-performance material.
