GRAND EST. VINTAGE WASH TEE

A collaborative T-shirt themed around the intersection of two urban cultures: Tokyo and Paris.
The Japanese craftsmanship cultivated by KURO and the lightness of French culture that MAISON KITSUNÉ possess are incorporated into graphics that can be worn as everyday clothing.
While eliminating the symbolism of the city, this piece quietly exudes the background of both brands.

Material

We use thick open-end yarn (air-spun yarn) that is generally used for casual wear.
This fabric, which evokes American culture, has been deliberately reconstructed as a Japanese-made fabric. It features a dry, light touch and the unique texture of air-spun yarn.

Processing

Product dyeing and washing are carried out in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, which boasts some of the world's leading dyeing technology.
Repeated washing gives the color depth, resulting in the soft, sleek look that is unique to light blue.
The uneven color creates a vintage-like atmosphere.

Silhouette

Round body design made on a traditional circular knitting machine.
The seamless construction at the sides allows for a natural drape and a comfortable fit. The regular fit is subtle and can be worn with any style.

Background Story

This product was created through a collaboration between KURO and MAISON KITSUNÉ.
The combination of materials and processing using Japanese artisan techniques and the perspective of a Parisian brand gives the items depth that goes beyond being mere logo items.
This piece embodies the sense of distance between the two cities and is completed over time as it is worn.
