Enshu Textile Apparel Brand HUIS Launches Free Scrap Fabric Distribution Service

HUIS, an apparel brand using Enshu textiles and headquartered in Kamigaya-cho, Chuo-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, will launch a service on April 15, 2026, offering scrap and remnant pieces of Enshu textiles generated during clothing production to the general public through a dedicated website. HUIS has previously held outreach classes at local kindergartens, elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools in Hamamatsu, introducing Enshu textiles and the local textile industry, while also distributing fabric scraps and remnants. As inquiries increased from educational institutions, universities, fashion vocational schools outside the region, as well as artists and creators hoping to use the materials in workshops, HUIS has opened a dedicated website for the “Enshu Textile Remnant Project” and started a free distribution service that anyone can easily apply for. Enshu textiles are used in luxury apparel products, including overseas maison brands, but ordinary consumers have few opportunities to touch them directly. Through this free distribution initiative, HUIS hopes more people will experience the texture and appeal of Enshu textiles firsthand. The company will continue promoting the appeal of Enshu textiles and textile culture across Japan. 【HUIS Starts Public Distribution of Scrap and Remnant Fabrics】 Dedicated website URL: https://1-huis.com/hagire Start date: Friday, April 15, 2026 Details: Remnant fabrics are provided free of charge in a size 120 cardboard box, with shipping paid on delivery. The contents, including color, pattern, and material, cannot be selected. Returns and exchanges are not accepted. Background and purpose: HUIS currently produces more than 40,000 garments annually. During clothing production, cutting waste and fabric pieces used for finish checks are generated, and these would normally become waste. As part of its sustainability efforts to make use of limited resources, HUIS provides scraps and remnants to create opportunities for people to become familiar with the special texture of Enshu textiles and to learn about the traditional industries of the Enshu region and Japan’s textile industry. HUIS is an apparel brand based in Hamamatsu that produces all of its products using Enshu textiles. It operates seven showrooms nationwide, has around 80 retail partners, and participates in events in Japan and overseas. Taking advantage of the Enshu region’s remaining vintage shuttle looms, HUIS focuses on products made from fabrics with distinctive texture and functionality, gaining fans throughout Japan. Unlike ordinary apparel brands, HUIS creates products and communicates information centered on the production region and its industry. In March 2024, HUIS published “HUIS. no Fukuzukuri: Enshu-hatsu no Sanchi-hatsu Brand ga Apparel no Joshiki wo Kaeru” through Shufu to Seikatsu Sha. On May 15, 2026, it will publish “Sanchi-hatsu Apparel to iu Sentaku: Gyokai no Joshiki ni Idomu Enshu-hatsu Apparel Brand HUIS no Chosen to Kiseki” through Nikkan Gendai/Kodansha.
