World Party Co., Ltd. (HQ: Osaka) and its outdoor brand 'KiU' are offering a collaboration series with 'Kuchofuku®,' the pioneer of fan-equipped clothing. Since its launch in 2022, the series has maintained double-digit annual growth, with cumulative sales exceeding 20,000 units. Remarkably, more than half of the users are women.
With the widespread use of handheld fans, interest in hands-free cooling apparel is rising. KiU's Air-Conditioned Clothing® series features a unique design that allows users to conceal the fan holes when the fans are removed, enabling a seamless transition between functional cooling wear outdoors and regular fashion wear indoors. This versatility for festivals, outdoor activities, travel, and urban use has resonated strongly with fashion-conscious individuals in their 20s to 40s.
The lineup includes the 'KiU Air Conditioned Vest 2ND' (6,600 JPY) featuring unique textile patterns, the 'Multi-function Vest' (8,800 JPY) with numerous pockets, and the 2-way 'Blouson' (8,800 JPY) that can be converted to short sleeves. KiU aims to transform heat protection from an act of endurance into a proactive style choice.
