Texture and Color You Can Feel – Fabrics That says good stories

Mastering Colorful Formalwear with precious Yarn-dyed Technology

Founded in 1973, Kuroda Textile Co., Ltd. has established itself as a leading weaver, specializing in yarn-dyed fabrics for formalwear. While the current president once left the textile industry, he found himself questioning, Is this really where I should stop? Is there unfinished work left to do? These reflections led him back to Yonezawa with a renewed perspective, where he inherited Kuroda Textile as the second-generation leader, carrying forward its rich traditions and values.

Kuroda Textile’s greatest strength shows in its unique techniques and artistic sensibility, which bring sophistication and elegance to colorful formalwear. In yarn-dyed fabric production, the selection of each thread and the weaving structure determine the overall harmony of the textile. To perfect rich colors and intricate patterns, Kuroda seamlessly integrates design planning and master craftsmanship, weaving fabrics of exceptional beauty. This dedication has earned the company the reputation of being outstanding in colorful formalwear production.

Well-experienced and an ultimate commitment to color precision allow Kuroda to capture even the subtlest nuances in its fabrics, ensuring exceptional quality. Beautiful textiles have the power to captivate, and Kuroda Textile believes in that power. Through continuous innovation and craftsmanship, the company remains committed to creating one-of-a-kind fabrics that can only be born here.

Creating with Joy Leads to New Value

Kuroda Textile utilizes its unique “Tukkiri Jacquard” technique to create dimensional jacquard fabrics. By elevating specific parts of the fabric and cutting them with a specialized blade, the process produces a soft, velvety texture with remarkable taste. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the fabric’s expression, giving it a rich and sophisticated appearance. This technique has earned high acclaim from both domestic and international brands, including prestigious luxury maisons worldwide.

Beyond innovation in texture, Kuroda Textile is also committed to sustainable manufacturing by developing washi paper and recycled polyester into its textiles. The company even developed a custom tool- reed (osa) for weaving washi fibers, demonstrating its relentless pursuit of new materials and techniques. Breaking away from conventional color formalwear fabrics, Kuroda continues to explore groundbreaking materials and methods, producing textiles that inspire designers’ creativity.

Above all, we believe that craftsmanship should be enjoyed. There is no greater fulfillment than seeing a designer hold our fabric, smile, and feel its texture. That moment of satisfaction reaffirms that our work was worth creating, recharging our passion for the next challenge.
