Japanese Style from Shiroi Neko
Say ‘konichiwa’ to the greatest export from Japan since Sushi and Nintendo – the soon to be massive fashion label Shiroi Neko. Japan is noted for the futuristic fashion sense of its city dwellers with blunt cuts, customised finishes and inventive fabrics being signature looks of Japanese fashion. Now Shiroi Neko has brought elements of these classic Japanese styles to the world in the form of smart, easy to wear t-shirts which feature eye popping prints.
Shiroi Neko is Japanese for ‘white cat’, an animal which according to Japanese myth symbolises good luck and is renowned for keeping bad karma away so by choosing a Shiroi Neko t-shirt you can avoid evil spirits and look good – not a bad combination! The Japanese influences in design means that Shiroi Neko t-shirts are completely original and unlike any others on the market but this is just one of the reasons why this label is growing so fast.
Quality
Although paying around thirty quid for a t-shirt is not going to break the bank, for that money you want to make sure your tee will last. Shiroi Neko t-shirts are renowned for their quality and each t-shirt is made from 100% cotton making them highly durable and comfortable to wear. Shiroi Neko t-shirts involve a large range of colours, some of which are blended and then enzyme washed making these colours completely unique to the brand’s clothing range. The quality of the garments is matched with the quality of the colour and the dyes are designed not to fade. Each t-shirt in the range is handmade so you know you’re investing in fashion which has been lovingly designed and put together.
Designs
It’s a case of East meets West and they certainly mash it up when it comes to the designs on the Shiroi Neko t-shirts. The designs include influences from biker style tattoo art, vintage Japanese Manga, religious icons and other elements of both Eastern and Western cultures. Bold designs are the signature look of Shiroi Neko tees and they include torso size graphics both on the front and the back of the t-shirts so these designs are certainly not for the reserved as you are sure to get noticed. Many of the fantastic screen printed designs involve foil detailing too for an eye catching look.
Ethics
Shiroi Neko don’t just design amazing t-shirts, they actually care who makes them and focus on the welfare of their employees as well as their bottom line. Shiroi Neko aim to play their part in improving conditions in the garment industry and focus on being responsible for human rights, wages, working hours and social accountability. To make sure they follow through on their word, Shiroi Neko ensure that their garments are only made in countries with good ethics when it comes to working conditions which is why Shiroi Neko t-shirts are created by adult workers in Thailand, after they are designed in Japan.
