"SAIFUKU" is a knitwear brand from Gosen City, Niigata Prefecture that brings joy to people and their lives. The brand's concept is "snow country knit," and they create knitwear inspired by the nature and lifestyle of the snowy country of Niigata. The beauty of Niigata's nature is the starting point for their designs, and the wisdom that can only be born in a harsh snowy country is embodied in their knitwear.

"SAIFUKU" is the brand of Saifuku, a knitwear manufacturer based in Gosen City, Niigata Prefecture, which has been producing products exclusively since 1963. Blessed with abundant, high-quality water, Gosen City has flourished as a silk textile production center since the mid-Edo period, and after the war developed into a major center for the knitwear industry. Using the company name as a brand, the company continues to hone its knitwear techniques and ideas, along with the know-how that has been passed down in the production area.

The "226" (Tsutsumu) series is based on the concept of "wrapping people and their lives in knitwear to make everyday life comfortable and humorous," and is a series that uses knitwear to wrap not only the body but also everyday items in a fun way.

The collection includes a variety of fun and ingenious knit items, such as a "showy belly band" that lets you enjoy a layered look, a spray cover that stylishly covers a spray with a bold design, wrist warmers that can be used as an accent color by peeking out from the cuffs, and a knitted detachable collar that keeps your neck warm.

This knit vest is made from washi paper, making it light and comfortable to wear.
The relaxed silhouette gently wraps around your body for a comfortable fit. The fine waffle knit creates a subtle texture and blends naturally with simple outfits.

This knitwear is made from yarn made from washi paper, a traditional Japanese material.
To turn washi paper into thread, advanced techniques are required to cut the paper into thin strips while maintaining a uniform thickness. The washi thread produced in this way has many tiny gaps in the fibers, giving it the ability to absorb and release moisture just right.
This prevents stuffiness and keeps you feeling dry and comfortable. The lightness that only washi paper can provide makes it comfortable to wear even though it is a knit.

Additionally, polyester is used in moderation as a material.
Polyester is a lightweight yet durable material that helps knitwear last longer and helps prevent wrinkles and deformation. It's also wash-resistant, and after washing, it can be easily re-shaped by simply spreading it out to dry.
It has low absorbency, so it dries quickly, making it a knit that is easy to handle and suitable for everyday use.

The soft texture of natural materials and ease of care for everyday use.
This lightweight knit vest combines both of these elements.
