Who is Kimono Reborn Tokyo?

Kimono Reborn Tokyo is a Japan-based brand dedicated to giving new life to traditional kimono fabrics. By sourcing secondhand materials, the company prevents high-quality textiles from being discarded or sent to landfills. Instead, they are transformed into contemporary products such as shoes, backpacks, totes, and shirts. This approach not only preserves cultural heritage but also aligns with the principles of sustainability and waste reduction.

Why Kimono Reborn Tokyo Chose Adiantes

Kimono Reborn Tokyo and Adiantes share a common goal: eliminating waste and maximizing material utilization. Each product made in Japan results in fabric scraps that, until now, remained unused. The partnership between the two companies is centered on upcycling these materials and integrating them into new product lines, ensuring that every piece of fabric is fully utilized.

Adiantes was the ideal production partner due to its:

✔ In-house R&D and Production Capabilities – Allowing for efficient material innovation and product development.

✔ Commitment to a Circular Economy – Aligning with Kimono Reborn Tokyo’s mission to promote sustainability through upcycling.

✔ Strategic Manufacturing & Supply Chain Management – Creating a seamless production and logistics process between Japan and Thailand through dedicated free trade agreements.
