Hello to everyone reading this blog! I'm Ririka, a member of the KNT365 staff.
Starting Wednesday, November 26th, until stocks run out, we are holding a special event called "Upcycled Week" at our Harajuku flagship store, "THE KNT365 HOUSE," featuring only upcycled items!
What exactly is an “upcycled item”?
- "Get Back" Project -
At KNT365 Osaka Lab, our manufacturing base in Osaka,
We carefully store knitted fabric that can no longer be used due to scratches or other reasons, and never throw it away.
Get Back is a project that uses this knitted fabric as material to "transform it into a new, valuable, one-of-a-kind piece"!
💬 Creating a "one-of-a-kind" piece — The creator's thoughts
The person in charge of producing the upcycled works is Morihana worked at the lab as a part-timer during her university days and is now an employee.
Mori currently creates a variety of items, including not only bags but also key chains, book covers, hats, and more. She selects fabrics from the stock shelves on the second floor of the lab and creates upcycled items by incorporating her own ideas.
Mori says that she creates her works by "drawing inspiration from the scenery she sees that day, the sweets she eats, and the colors of her clothes."
Therefore, each piece has an expression that is unique to that moment, and no two pieces are ever the same.
Each one is filled with a story, emotion, and feeling.

⭐️ Introducing the new lineup coming on Wednesday, November 26th ⭐️
The upcycled items that sold out in an instant at the store's opening on September 30th and on ZOZO TOWN will now be available again at the KNT365 flagship store "THE KNT365 HOUSE" in Harajuku ☺️🎉
Idea and creator Mori We will introduce the new work along with a comment from Hana 💜
◼️Upcycled Bag (L)
Made with plenty of knitted fabric, this bag is part of the "Mam" series, a large-capacity bag familiar to KNT365!
Taking advantage of the softness inherent to the durable and lightweight knit material, each piece has a unique pattern and color created through upcycling.
💬 I tried cutting knitted fabric into various shapes and creating patterns. I love spiral patterns and often draw them in pictures, so I wanted to express that in fabric. I really enjoyed spending time cutting out the patterns and sewing them together in various directions.
💬 I don't usually wear pink, but I know there are a lot of people who love pink, so I thought, "Let's have as much fun with pink as we can!" and created this piece. I used a coaster designed by Dalazdaakaa as a pocket, added ruffles knitted with leftover yarn to add a cute touch, and added ribbons on both sides to create a really frilly look. This piece made me realize once again how wonderful pink is.
💬 This design expresses the "exhilarating happiness" you feel when you get your favorite item. May lots of love and happiness shower down on everyone's pockets.
◼️Upcycled Bag (S)
💬The design is based on white and makes you want to add colorful flowers.
The ribbon symbolizes a "happy knot." We imagined an elegant bag that can be used for any occasion.
💬 My first 3-way bag is complete! I didn't want to hide the design of the bag itself, so I cut out a heart shape so that it could be seen.
You can use it as is, or tie the ribbon to turn it into a drawstring bag, or grab the black handle and tuck the top part inside to turn it into a mini bag.
💬 I'm always thinking about new things to create, and this time I've created a new drawstring bag. The "Fantasy" bag, designed by Dalazdaakaa, features the main font "Fantasy" arranged in triplicate.
[NEW! 】◼️Upcycled Hat (Zukin)
A new product, "Zukin," has been added to KNT365's upcycled works.
It covers the neck, making it a fashion piece and a great way to keep warm in the coming cold season.
💬 I created a bag with Zukin using the "Lemon" design, which is my personal favorite.
It has a Korean feel and is finished in a beautiful way. This is our top recommended item!
◼️Upcycled Hat
💬 I used the last knitted fabric from the "Giraffe" series that was produced in the past. It was a piece that I personally loved and had been keeping, but I thought, "Rather than just letting it sit like this..." so I decided to cut it out. I'm really looking forward to seeing it in stores in its new form.
