About Towel Craftsmen and staff working at IKEUCHI ORGANIC
IKEUCHI ORGANIC produces towels and other fabric products. We have been spreading the word about the safety of the organic cotton used as raw materials and the dyeing process on our website, in various media, and at store events. Keiji Ikeuchi, our president, also communicates his thoughts through TV, magazines, websites, and other media.
We want to let our fans, who support our efforts, know more about IKEUCHI ORGANIC. At that time, we realized that there was something we had not yet told you.
It was the towel craftsmen and other people working at IKEUCHI ORGANIC. Various staff members are involved in the planning, weaving, sewing, inspection, production control, quality control, and sales process before towels are commercialized and reach your hands.
March 2016 marks two years since IKEUCHI ORGANIC changed its name from Ikeuchi Towel to IKEUCHI ORGANIC. In this series of "IKEUCHI's People," we will report on IKEUCHI ORGANIC's goal of introducing organic products to the world and making towels that can be eaten in 2073, the 120th anniversary of the company's founding.
Please read to the end for the voices of staffs working at IKEUCHI ORGANIC.
