It is said that 70% of clothes produced are discarded. Similarly, many materials (fabrics) used as raw materials are currently discarded.

S. Ando Co., Ltd., a European fabric wholesaler represented by G.K. C.F.S. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Shingo Ueno), has acquired the Italian environmental standard UNI EN ISO14021 and signed an exclusive contract in Japan with ReLiveTex® (Relivetex), an Italian luxury fabric wholesaler committed to the concept of "don't waste fabric." Following this, an exhibition and sale event, "ARCHIVE BOX — European Material Treasure Hunt," will be held for five days from April 6 (Monday) to April 10 (Friday), 2026, in Ebisu, Tokyo, opening up highly sought-after European materials.

Background and Vision of the Exclusive Contract

Top manufacturers in Italy and France support the global fashion market. Many wonderful materials of uncompromising quality lie dormant there. However, for small brands and young designers, procuring European materials has presented high hurdles such as "high prices," "large minimum order quantities," and "long delivery times."

Through our exclusive contract with ReLiveTex®, we aim to eliminate these hurdles. By opening up the finest materials as an "open door for everyone," we seek to support new manufacturing in Japan and champion the entire fashion industry.

Features of the "ARCHIVE BOX" Exhibition and Sale

At this exhibition, professional-grade, high-quality textiles can be purchased on the spot, in the necessary quantities, at strategic prices, without the hassle of import procedures, minimums, or concerns about delivery times.

Sustainability: Archive materials that are environmentally friendly, having obtained ISO14021 certification.

Accessibility: A market format with no minimums and immediate delivery.

Quality: The colors and textures of European textiles adopted by top global brands.

An exciting European material treasure hunt event for fashion professionals.
