Gentle on the skin and kind to the environment, Kontex textiles are crafted in Imabari, Japan, using centuries-old techniques, as they have been since the company’s founding in 1934. Every towel and accessory is made from fine, garment-quality thread gently woven on traditional low-speed looms to achieve unparalleled softness, then washed in snowmelt from the slopes of Mt. Ishizuchi. The end result is a product that’s incredibly absorbent, surprisingly compact, and free from impurities - an ideal addition to any home.

Like other Hirali products, these kitchen towels feature striking double-sided designs, but they stand out as much for their absorbency as for their aesthetics. Hirali Kitchen Towels can soak up incredible amounts of water thanks to the high-quality cotton fabric from which they're made, and they dry exceptionally fast. With use, a Hirali kitchen towel will also grow quite soft to the touch, pampering the hands while tackling the toughest jobs.

The Kizara Project utilizes excess wood from sustainable, human-grown Japanese red pine to create their one-of-a-kind stationery. The group's eco-conscious process sources trees from local woodlands that are thinned as part of healthy forestry practices. By creating a wood product from a constantly renewed resource, Kizara supports the growth of both a national industry and the trees on which that industry - and the world at large - depends, demonstrating how conscious design can have a positive impact on our environment.

Its innate detoxifying properties make it a potent addition to many beauty and wellness goods, where it helps to cleanse on a microscopic level.
