All About Phigvel
The goal of Phigvel is to fully embrace the value of historic garments while implementing today’s technology and reinterpreting heritage garments for modern wear.
By continuing the progression of utilitarian clothes, a dialogue has been created that will advance perpetually.
Cottle: A Uniform for Living
COTTLE is rooted in Kojima’s historic textile culture, operating from a restored 130-year-old factory where workshop and gallery merge into one.
Founded by Bunka Fashion College alumnus Toshiaki Watanabe in 2015,
the brand reinterprets Kurashiki’s folk traditions into garments that feel timeless and deeply personal.
