▼ "ANNUAL"
"Annual" is a DtoC knit brand originally developed by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. using highly rare New Zealand merino wool, which is excellent in terms of quality and animal protection. Since we are involved in all processes in the supply chain, from the purchase of raw wool to yarn making, dyeing, commercialization, and sales, we are characterized by safe and secure manufacturing with high transparency. The wool used in "Annual" is a highly functional natural material that has been cultivated by receiving the blessings of the harsh and beautiful nature. It transforms into a product, snuggles up to our daily lives, and conveys the breath and kindness of the earth with its comfort. We made our pre-debut in a collaboration project with a select shop in the fall and winter of 2019, and the products are almost sold out, and we will start full-scale sales mainly from our own collection from the fall and winter 2020 collection. We provide products at a reasonable price unique to DtoC.
▼ Introduction of "CLOTHLOOP", a system for recycling clothing <br /> A system for collecting PET bottles as recyclable waste from each household has already been completed, and it has been reborn as a raw material for various products. It is well known that there is. However, the current situation is that most of the clothing that is no longer needed is discarded as it is.
Therefore, "Annual" aimed to be a recycling-oriented brand that does not throw away clothes, and introduced "Crossloop", a system in which producers responsibly recycle clothes.
"Crossloop" is a clothing developed by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. that collects recyclable clothing that is no longer used, sorts it, returns it to a cotton shape, and then spins it into threads. It is a system to recycle resources.
