NARU FACTORY Tasmanian Lamb Fair Isle Box Vest for Women [665621] Minamide Meriyasu Sweater Factory Brand

A factory brand of "clothes that enrich the soul" that are part of your everyday life

"NARU FACTORY" is a factory brand created by Minamide Meriyasu, which has its own factory in Izumiotsu, Osaka, with the concept of "clothes that enrich the soul."

The Senshu region, including Izumiotsu City, developed as a cotton cultivation and cotton textile production area during the Edo period, and from the Meiji period onwards as a major textile production area for spinning, towels, blankets, etc. Minamiide ​​Meriyasu, founded in 1953, is based on the Senshu spirit and technology of "being close to thread and fabric and supporting people's lives," and carries out everything from material selection to design, cutting, knitting, sewing and finishing in its own factory, producing clothes that are loved by generations.

The "NARU" in the brand name comes from the kanji character "成" which means "to achieve something naturally" or "to create connections."
Based on the belief that "clothing has the power to enrich people's hearts," we hope to weave connections between clothes and people, and between the history and future of the places where they are produced, to become a natural part of everyday life and a presence that lifts the spirits of those who wear them.

A Fair Isle knit vest in three muted colors that blends in seamlessly with the winter scenery.
Based on the traditions of the Fair Isle region of Scotland, the Fair Isle pattern is made up of small, regularly-spaced patterns that create a pleasant rhythm and highlight the beauty of the neat stitches.

Although it uses multiple colors, it is not loud, and the calm tones create a subtle elegance and wintery depth.
Depending on the light, the unevenness of the knit fabric will softly emerge, creating a subtle look.

The material is 100% Tasmanian lamb's wool.
It has an excellent balance of lightness, softness, and heat retention, and provides a soft, fluffy feel on the skin.
It's less itchy than regular wool, and another great feature is that it's washable and can be hand washed at home.

The gentle colors of the Fair Isle pattern and the thick, soft texture make this a winter piece that is comforting to look at and touch.

This vest has a boxy silhouette that doesn't show off your body lines, and is loose-fitting so you won't feel constricted even when layered.
Even when layering in winter, which tends to make clothes look flat, the design allows for just the right amount of room around the shoulders and body, naturally creating a "soft vertical line."

Another point is that the fabric has just the right amount of firmness, so when paired with thick innerwear such as a shirt or turtleneck, it fits nicely around the shoulders and creates a balanced look.
Pair it with a drop-shoulder top or an inner layer with puffy sleeves to add a rounded edge to the straight silhouette, creating a soft, feminine look.

The ribbing from the armholes to the hem tightens the overall line just enough, creating a clean impression.
The design provides ample room around the shoulders, so it won't feel bulky even when layered with shirts or turtlenecks, allowing you to enjoy layering comfortably throughout the season.

The neckline is a crew neck with just the right depth.
It has an elegant finish that makes the area around the face look beautiful while also giving off the warmth that only knit can provide.

Marble-style buttons are added to the side, adding a subtle yet eye-catching accent.
It blends naturally with simple styling and adds a touch of mature sophistication.

This vest features a striking Fair Isle pattern, making it a statement piece that will brighten up your winter style.
The colors and patterns are quite strong, so the trick is to keep the items you pair it with simple.

Adding a plain turtleneck or shirt in white, black, or gray will bring out the vividness of the pattern, creating a balanced look that makes the whole outfit look neat and tidy.
By choosing an inner layer with simple sleeve and collar lines, you can create a mature look while still making the most of the vest's presence.

For bottoms, classic items such as denim and black pants go well with this outfit.
Even flashy tops can be worn as everyday wear, subtly adding a fresh touch to your winter outfits.

When layered under outerwear, the color and pattern can be seen when the front is opened, naturally bringing together the flashy look while also acting as an accent.

Even on days when you're wearing a simple outfit, just adding this one piece will add a seasonal touch and a touch of elegance.

Every time I wear it, I feel a little better.
NARU's clothes have the charm of adding these "little joys" to everyday life.
This piece is perfect for relaxing and enjoying, and will gently complement your winter wardrobe.

A special knit for someone special.
Perfect as a gift for birthdays, Christmas, Respect for the Aged Day, or autumn/winter.
