Special fabrics designed in Japan and produced in a textile-producing region
All of the fabrics used this time were designed by Japanese textile companies,
They are carefully woven in textile production areas such as Kiryu City.
Each fabric has a unique look and is imbued with Japanese craftsmanship.
① Amate — A unique expression where washi paper and velvet meet
Amate features soft velvet pile peeking out in dots. The design is made from layered washi paper, which is made from traditional Japanese materials such as **kozo (paper mulberry), mitsumata (Japanese mulberry), and gampi (gampi)**.
By gluing the washi paper to the velvet while leaving the fibers intact, we were able to create a texture that feels almost "deep, like leather." The contrast between the smooth surface and the soft texture of the velvet creates an elegant look that is perfect for wrapping jewels.

② Spots — Fabric with a natural rhythm reminiscent of hand-drawn patterns
The reverse side of the velvet is flocked (a technique that uses static electricity to attach short fibers)
This "two-face" fabric is beautiful on both sides. Because it's attached to a box, only one side is visible, but the scattered dots have an organic, warm feel, as if each dot was carefully painted with a brush. The artwork-like pattern and texture add depth to the appearance of the jewelry box.

3. Decorative threads — expressive jacquard where the thread itself becomes the main focus
Using a fluffy decorative thread called mohair thread (chenille thread),
Jacquard fabric woven with threads skipped in some areas, creating a floating weave.
The natural warmth of cotton and wool, combined with the three-dimensional texture of the weave, creates a very attractive material that exudes simplicity yet high craftsmanship.
It is slightly thick and soft, and feels comfortable in your hands every time you touch it.

④Inner fabric
This is the fabric used in almost all of MONAKA's displays.
The gray color of both the colored stones and the base metal material makes the colors stand out beautifully, and it is also the brand's image color.
