Made with a mindful effort to achieve Sustainability and Circular Fashion.
Founded in 1950 as a sewing house, nest Robe and CONFECT are a small eco-conscious fashion brands that take pride in meticulously designing and locally crafting timeless clothing in Japan. We prioritize the use of premium natural materials, with linen being our primary fabric of choice.
Building upon our foundation of sustainability, we are dedicated to embracing the traditional Japanese concept of "MONOZUKURI." This principle inspires us to craft exceptional, high-quality garments with an unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. By working closely with our skilled artisans, we ensure that every piece reflects our dedication to conscious, sustainable, and circular fashion practices.
At nest Robe | CONFECT, we believe in the power of slow and mindful practices. By carefully selecting natural materials and employing eco-friendly production processes, we create exquisite and enduring fashion pieces that genuinely reflect the essence of MONOZUKURI. Our ultimate goal is to offer our customers truly sustainable products that showcase the perfect balance between aesthetics, quality, and environmental responsibility.
Forging strong, long-term partnerships with local factories is a cornerstone of our brand's philosophy. These valuable collaborations allow us to join forces with skilled artisans and textile specialists who are equally committed to exceptional craftsmanship and sustainable practices.
At nest Robe | CONFECT, our original garments are crafted using nearly 100% natural fabrics. As part of our commitment to reducing waste, we produce limited-quantity collections that minimize excess stock. To further extend the life of your nest Robe and CONFECT garments, we offer a highly skilled mend and repair service at all our Japanese storefronts, reflecting our steadfast dedication to responsible fashion practices.
In our constant pursuit to lessen our environmental footprint, nest Robe | CONFECT consistently refines our production methods to create a more sustainable future. A prime example of our ingenuity is the creation of UpcycleLino yarn, an eco-conscious blend of 100% linen fabric waste and organic virgin cotton fiber. We persistently explore innovative ways to incorporate UpcycleLino yarns into our fabrics, while excess materials from our Upcycled garments are ingeniously transformed into upcycled hangers. Through these efforts, we actively contribute to waste reduction and promote circularity within the fashion industry.
Our commitment to sustainability is deeply integrated into every stage of our production process. Our primary sewing factory harnesses self-generated solar power and energy-efficient LED lighting to reduce energy consumption. Moreover, at our dye house, where substantial amounts of hot water are crucial for dyeing fabrics, we employ cutting-edge energy-saving boilers, ensuring our environmental footprint remains minimal.
We have also adopted cutting-edge, eco-certified e-Flow technology from Spain in our washing and bleaching processes. This state-of-the-art machinery relies on ozone to achieve impressive reductions in water consumption by 95%, energy consumption by 40%, and harmful chemicals by 90%. Additionally, our innovative stone washing process uses eco-friendly recycled resin stones instead of traditional pumice stones, eliminating grit waste and promoting a greener approach.
Our retail stores, which are thoughtfully constructed using biodegradable materials such as wood, stone, and diatom soil. Energy-efficient LED lighting illuminates our spaces, showcasing our garments while reducing our carbon footprint.
In our quest to minimize waste, we offer our customers an array of eco-friendly alternatives to disposable bags. Our selection of FSC®-certified paper eco-bags and reusable canvas eco-bags with the Eco Mark from the Japan Environment Association encourages shoppers to make environmentally conscious choices. We also invite customers to bring their own bags, further supporting sustainable practices and fostering an environment of conscious consumerism.
For our online store, we've adopted biodegradable biomass plastic bags made from plant-based materials to package online purchases. This environmentally friendly approach ensures our packaging solutions have a minimal impact on the planet.
