Announcement: Joint Pop-Up Featuring Three Japanese "Future Fashion" Brands
We will be holding a joint pop-up store with two Japan-originated projects, "TENEZ" and "mate-mono," at Nihonbashi Takashimaya in Tokyo.
The theme is "Future Fashion" born from a beautiful fusion of Japan's proud advanced technology and Japan's proud sensibility.
Advanced material apparel pursuing ultimate functionality. Pop and beautiful designs that showcase young talent. Sustainable bags made from discarded materials.
The reason seemingly unrelated projects harmonize beautifully is due to a shared passion for challenges and a collaboration based on carefully selected materials.
Products that embody "future fashion," beautifully harmonizing based on a passion for challenges and carefully selected materials.
We hope you will come and see them.

Dates: May 10 (Wed) - May 21 (Sun), 2023
Location: Nihonbashi Takashimaya Main Building 6F SPACE6-①
2-4-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
Hours: 10:30 AM - 7:30 PM
■ MOONRAKERS
A project by the Toray Group to develop advanced technology products, aiming to create "future fashion through advanced technology." It directly connects the latest advanced technology to your daily life, aiming to create a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future life" together with you.
■ TENEZ
An activewear brand created by the "Tomita Twins," young twin brothers who are active tennis players who have competed in the UK, US, and Spain, and also talented designers who studied fashion in New York, the mecca of fashion. Experience the "seamless integration of comfort in sports scenes and style in casual scenes."

■ mate-mono
A sustainable brand developed by Komatsu Matere, a material manufacturer in Ishikawa, with the concept of "transforming waste into something unseen." The utilization of materials that would otherwise be discarded and efforts to minimize waste create colorful and unique items.
New "MOON-TECH®" Colors In Stock
A new color, "HEATHER GRAY," has been added to "MOON-TECH®."
It was extremely difficult to reproduce a natural and beautiful "heather gray" in a functional material like "MOON-TECH®" without compromising its high functionality and texture. However, after about half a year of trial and error, by fusing the latest technology and craftsmanship, we have achieved this challenging color tone.
For those who have felt, "I like heather gray, but I'm concerned about sweat stains," we encourage you to experience this color, which combines magical beauty and functionality without worrying about sweat stains.
▶ MOON-TECH® "HEATHER GRAY" T-shirts are available here.

Announcement of General Sale Launch for the New MOON-TECH® Model
Last year, we released three new items made from "MOON-TECH®" material on Makuake: a zip-up hoodie, a long-sleeve t-shirt, and long pants, which were supported by over 600 people.
Due to popular demand for a restock, general sales have now begun on the "MOONRAKERS Official Website."
The "MOON-TECH®" series is available in the same color lineup, so you can wear them as a set with a T-shirt.
We hope you'll take a look.

"MACKINTOSH PHILOSOPHY" and "MOONRAKERS".
They were both born in distant lands, the UK and Japan, respectively.
Yet, it is a miraculous and inevitable combination, as if they found their long-sought counterparts, sharing the same vision for the "future."
The beauty of this collaboration.
We hope you will all have the chance to see it.
Notification of Out-of-Stock Item(s)
Hello everyone. This is Project MOONRAKERS.
Thank you very much for the numerous orders we've received for our "MOON-TECH®" products. However, due to higher-than-expected demand, many items are currently out of stock in various sizes.
We have also received many inquiries from those wishing to purchase these items, so we have decided to proceed with an additional production run for the T-shirts, which are currently in highest demand.
We anticipate that replenishment will be possible in May, and we will update you once that happens.
(Please note that for polo shirts and cardigans, replenishment is not currently planned.)
"MOONRAKERS x Space Brothers" Collaboration Announced!
This collaboration was born from an encounter with "Space Brothers," a popular manga series that has sold over 31 million copies.
As we discussed our mutual aspirations, an extraordinary collaboration project emerged, aiming to materialize the shared sentiments between "Space Brothers" and "MOONRAKERS."
The shared sentiments between "Space Brothers" and "MOONRAKERS."
This was encapsulated in the protagonist Mutta's words, "Let's try things that are just a little bit impossible." We then commercialized this idea as a project to "gently encourage people who continue to challenge 'just a little bit impossible' things in their daily lives."
The first phase features items using "MOON-TECH®" material, incorporating space technology.
These will be available for a limited time on the "Space Brothers" website starting April 21 (Friday).

Comfort beyond limits.
The second collaboration in 2023 for "MOON-TECH®" has begun pre-sales on Makuake: the "MOON-TECH® 4D POCKET TEE".

The material, born from a collaboration between JAXA and Toray and featuring "advanced space technology," is sewn with Maruwa Sen-i / Membrana's special sewing technology, "4D dynamic pattern," which was also used for astronauts' intra-vehicular activity wear.

Based on the concept of "making life on Earth comfortable with space technology," it transforms your daily life on Earth into a surprisingly comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future life" with its "unbelievably comfortable fit," "overwhelming functionality," and "convenience that feels good even when you're not wearing it."
"Beyond the limits of comfort."
We hope you'll experience that feeling for yourself.
