3rd Edition of go slow caravan × "Electric Fiber" PIECLEX Series Adopts "Corn" Motif

PIECLEX Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yasu City, Shiga Prefecture; President: Daiji Tamakura), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., has released new T-shirts as the 3rd collaboration series with apparel brand "go slow caravan" on Friday, April 17, 2026. The shirts feature PIECLEX, a newly developed "electric fiber." This series represents an ongoing initiative with go slow caravan, a brand conceptually based on "playing outside," to adopt the "electric fiber" PIECLEX and "P-FACTS," the circular apparel infrastructure promoted by our company. A key feature of this 3rd installment is the integration of "corn"—one of the raw materials of the fabric—into the design. Concurrently with this product launch, the number of go slow caravan stores equipped with P-FACTS collection boxes has expanded from four to six. ■ "Raw Materials into Design" —— Visually Conveying the Fiber's Background For the new products, a design motif featuring "corn," a raw ingredient of PIECLEX fiber, was newly adopted. This approach serves as an entry point to spark consumer interest in the continuous flow from plant-based materials to fibers, products, and ultimately, a circular ecosystem. ■ P-FACTS Collection Hubs Expanded to a 6-Store Network with 2 New Locations Coinciding with the launch of the 3rd edition, P-FACTS collection boxes were newly installed at two stores: Emiterrace Tokorozawa and Yumegaoka Soratos, bringing the total number of go slow caravan stores with collection boxes to six. go slow caravan Emiterrace Tokorozawa store floor (layout varies by season) Laketown Store (Saitama) *New Emiterrace Tokorozawa Store (Saitama) *New Aeon Mall Takasaki Store (Gunma) Yumegaoka Soratos Store (Kanagawa) Aeon Mall Suzaka Store (Nagano) Aeon Mall Odaka Store (Aichi) ■ Characteristics of the "go slow caravan × PIECLEX" Series 1.
