About us
"Media" in the form of clothes
The fashion industry is said to be the second most environmentally destructive industry.
Excessive production, mass consumption, and mass disposal are not only causing environmental destruction, but also leading to various social problems such as labor problems and poverty.
It is said that 1 million tons of apparel products (approximately 3 billion pieces) are discarded annually in Japan. Production is expected to reach 102 million tons.
Now that mass-produced apparel products are available at low prices, we are questioning this conventional way of production and consumption, thinking about people and the earth, and thinking about what to wear and how to live. I think that each person needs to be conscious.
So, in 2020 we launched the brand "coxco".
However, what we create is not just clothes. It is a media in the form of clothing that confronts social issues. Each time, we focus on a certain issue and attempt to solve it through fashion.
The day will come when the simple act of "wearing clothes" will change the world. I believe this and would like to take a step forward with you, who have picked up this media.
From here, together.

Founder's Message
“Since I was a child, fashion has been like a "hero" to me, bringing color to my daily life. I admired overseas fashion, so I worked part-time to save money and went on my first solo trip to New York at the age of 18. On that trip, I encountered the words and experiences of "Pay it forward". "Pay it forward" means "give back to those around you the benefits you have received". My life has been colored by "fashion" and "people". Next, I would like to create a better society through fashion myself. With that in mind, I launched coxco in 2020. Currently, we operate a clothing skills training school and factory called "coxco Lab" in the Philippines, creating education and employment opportunities for local young people and mothers. Some of coxco's products are made at "coxco Lab". We hope that clothes with the faces and names of the producers will brighten your daily life.
