Increased production of “Hinari Hemp Mask” sold out immediately after about 48 hours!

2020.07.16

Due to the favorable reception, the production of “Hinari Hemp Mask” (three-dimensional fashion mask for summer), which can be used in the summer scene, using the fabric “NEO Noto Jofu” originally developed by Texushiru, stopped for a while. We are pleased to announce that we will resume accepting pre-order sales at the Texi online shop from noon on July 8 (Wednesday).

When sold for the first time on June 10, 1,000 sheets will be sold out within about 48 hours after reservation starts. Since then, many people have called for resale, and we have decided to increase production by 1,000 more. In addition to reselling 6 designs that were popular last time, 4 designs are newly released. You can choose from a total of 10 designs.

Product name: Cool Hemp Mask (NEO Noto Jofu Summer Summer Fashion Mask)
*Limited 1,000 sheets (100 sheets x 10 types)

[Development background]
Texiru (representative: Osamu Tanaka) in Nakanoto-cho, Kashima-gun, Ishikawa Prefecture, formed in 2019 by volunteers from the local textile business, independently developed the NEO Noto Jofu, a composite fabric of hemp and polyester. ..

This is the “tradition” of 100% hemp fabric “Noto Jofu”, which has been handed down in Nakanoto Town for about 2000 years, and the craftsmen who have been cultivated since the early Showa era as the local industry of the synthetic fiber industry. It was realized by crossing with “technology”.

Nowadays, wearing a mask has become the basis of daily life because of the influence of coronavirus, and I thought that NEO Noto Jofu could help you to spend the summer of 2020 comfortably. Immediately after the 1,000 pieces were sold out at the last sale, we received many requests for resale, so we will make an additional 1,000 masks this time. The features of the dough are the same as the last sale, and are as follows.

[Features of NEO Noto Jofu Mask]
1. Thin, light, cool and comfortable touch
The characteristic of hemp is that it is light and does not damp easily (*). Kimonos such as Noto Jofu are perfect for summer. However, when you touch the face directly, 100% hemp feels tingling. In that respect, NEO Noto Jofu, which is a combination of hemp and polyester, is smooth to the touch and has a cool and comfortable feel.

(*) Characteristics of hemp: It has excellent hygroscopicity and quick drying. As it has good thermal conductivity, it takes away body temperature and radiates heat to give a cool feeling.

It also features a chic design that takes advantage of the texture of the fabric itself. You can enjoy it as a sophisticated fashion item.

2. It is hard to wrinkle and is easy to handle
Although masks are a hassle to manage such as washing, NEO Notojo cloth is a fabric that does not easily wrinkle, so it can be machine washed (recommended to put in the net). You can use it for a long time by washing your hands.
