History

Mitsuru Kumagai established Factelier in 2012 to counter the decline of Japan’s domestic garment industry. The company partners with specialized regional factories to produce apparel, bypassing conventional wholesale structures. This approach responds to the historical outsourcing of Japanese textile production to international markets. Factelier is recognized for its contribution to the factory-brand movement, which emphasizes the preservation of technical expertise and the revitalization of local manufacturing sectors within Japan.
