Exclusive Contract Secured with 'ReLiveTex®', a Luxury Fabric Wholesaler with the Concept of 'Not Wasting Fabric' and UNI EN ISO14021 Certification. Exhibition to be Held in Ebisu from April 6th to 10th.

It is said that 70% of clothing produced ends up being discarded. The same is true for the raw materials (fabrics) used to make them, with a vast amount of material currently going to waste.

S-Ando Co., Ltd., a European fabric wholesaler represented by C.F.S. LLC (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Shingo Ueno), has signed an exclusive domestic contract in Japan with 'ReLiveTex®,' an Italian luxury fabric wholesaler that has obtained the Italian environmental standard UNI EN ISO14021 and operates under the concept of 'not wasting fabric.' In conjunction with this, we will hold an exhibition and sale event titled 'ARCHIVE BOX — A Treasure Hunt for European Materials' from Monday, April 6, to Friday, April 10, 2026, in Ebisu, Tokyo, to make these high-barrier European materials accessible.

Background and Vision of the Exclusive Contract Top manufacturers in Italy and France support the global fashion market. Within these companies, many wonderful materials with uncompromising quality lie dormant. However, for small-scale brands and young designers, there have been significant hurdles to procuring European materials, such as 'high prices,' 'large minimum order quantities,' and 'long lead times.'

Through our exclusive contract with ReLiveTex®, we are removing these hurdles. By opening the doors to these top-tier materials for everyone, we aim to support new Japanese craftsmanship and the fashion industry as a whole.

Features of the 'ARCHIVE BOX' Exhibition and Sale At this exhibition, you can purchase professional-grade, high-quality textiles on the spot in the quantities you need, at strategic prices, without worrying about cumbersome import procedures, minimums, or lead times.

Sustainability: Environmentally conscious archive materials that have obtained ISO14021 certification. Accessibility: A market-style format with no minimums and immediate availability. Quality: The colors and textures of European-made textiles adopted by the world's top brands.

We are hosting a treasure hunt event for European materials that will excite anyone involved in fashion.
