ABOUT US
From Mitane, Akita, Japan.
Clothing shaped by fabric and nature.
Creating new value, rooted in Mitane.
Valuing fabric. Sharing the care of the people who make it. Creating new value in Mitane. These ideas are the starting point for everything we make at World Products X.
Each garment brings together local resources, people, skills, and care. By giving fabric a new purpose and dyeing it with local natural materials, we share the landscape and everyday life of Mitane.

The colors of Mitane, in everyday clothing.
Clothing dyed with local natural materials, from water shield stems to farm produce and trees. Each piece carries a little of Mitane’s landscape and everyday life.
Bring your clothing ideas to life.
We welcome inquiries about small-batch apparel production. Start with what you know so far: garment types, quantities, and your preferred timeline.
Our clothing is supported by the skills developed in Mitane’s sewing factories. From cutting and sewing to finishing, makers work with the character of each fabric, turning materials into garments through careful handwork.
Thoughtful ways to use fabric. The natural resources of this land. The skills to turn materials into clothing. We value each of these in everything we make.
