A little while ago, a customer came to the store.
While looking at the products and having a casual conversation, that customer said to my partner...
'Is that vest still available?'　

Partner: 'Is the vest a native pattern vest?'

When the customer said, 'That's right!', they took something out of the bag.
What was taken out of the bag was a nicely worn native vest.

Customer: 'I bought this vest 9 years ago. My eldest son wore it, my eldest daughter wore it, and my second son wore it too.'

Partner: 'Seriously? It's looking good.'

Customer: 'That's right. Actually, in the end, my second son also outgrew it, so I passed it on to a friend's child, who could still wear it, but that friend's child also outgrew it and came back to return this vest to us!'

Partner: 'Really? That's great!! Four people wore it, and the vest came back to you again?'

Customer: 'That's right. When I saw the vest that came back to me, I couldn't help but think if there was a size that my second son could wear, so I came to buy it today!'

At that time, unfortunately, we didn't have the size available, so the customer said, 'Well, I'll come back again' and left the store, but...
While making clothes with the thought of 'clothes that can be worn as long as possible and that we don't have to think about throwing away!', it was a delightful event for us.

This native vest was created when my partner thought about importing and selling children's authentic Ortega vests, and we ended up saying, 'Let's make it ourselves!' We thought, 'It might be interesting to turn our fabric inside out, print it, and then dye it?' and 'If we make the collar a shawl collar, it might become softer,' and that's how this product was developed.
