ABOUTMOONRAKERS
WHO WE ARE
What is MOONRAKERS?
Can a single piece of fabric
lighten a midsummer afternoon?
Can a single voice
set a distant sewing machine in motion?
Can we
change the vast world?
We turn questions that have no answer yet
into clothes.
Worn in the city,
washed,
well-loved—the feelings surrounding these clothes will resonate in the next piece we create.
Dreams cannot be proven with words alone.
That is why we
keep on creating.
To prove our dreams, one garment at a time.

ADVANCED MATERIALS
What Are Advanced Materials?
Extreme heat, sudden downpours, more time on the move, and increasingly casual ways of dressing.
The world around us is changing faster than ever.
Amid these changes, we kept hearing the same request:
“We want our clothes to evolve, too.”
MOONRAKERS uses Japan’s advanced technologies to answer that call.
We seek out technologies developed by Japanese materials companies, consider how they can improve everyday life, and turn them into clothing.
From technology to clothing. From clothing to everyday life.
Each of our material brands offers a different answer.
TECHNOLOGY
Cutting-edge materials featuring Japan's world-class technology
PRODUCT
Design and production of clothing for everyday use.
LIFE
Transforming daily life: from heat, sweat, and rain, to laundry and travel.
INDUSTRY
Connecting consumers directly with manufacturing.
Is the Japanese apparel industry dead?
Is the light of the Japanese apparel industry fading away?
The "lost thirty years" have devastated Japan’s garment industry.
Once accounting for nearly half of the market, Japanese-made clothing has plummeted to just 1.1%.
If this continues, the very option of manufacturing clothes in Japan may be lost forever.
Made in Japan: approx. 40 million units
Made overseas: approx. 3.7 billion units
Ratio of Japanese-made: 1.1%
However, we do not accept that as the future.
Because MOONRAKERS has linked Japan's advanced technology to the evolution of clothing, we will also carry the manufacturing sites that support that technology into the future.
Not to reject overseas production, but to ensure that the option of "made in Japan" remains.
Connecting materials, sewing, and the consumer once again.
MOONRAKERS accepts that responsibility.
HOW WE WORK
How it works
MOONRAKERS brings together Japan’s exceptional materials, weaving, knitting, dyeing, and sewing technologies to deliver finished garments to users, shaping the future by directly connecting their feedback to the manufacturing floor.
MOON∞CLUSTER is an initiative aimed at transcending the boundaries of manufacturing by connecting the apparel industry, retailers, and consumers—creating a new industry that enriches everyone involved.
By connecting creators and expanding that circle to include users, we aim to unite Japan’s textile industry into one great team. MOONRAKERS will serve as the hub for this movement, forging a new future for garment manufacturing in Japan.
