＜TOQUE＞Alpaca Silk Honeycomb Mesh Knit＜Off-white＞

This mesh knit combines rare baby alpaca with washable silk. While it's a simply designed knit, the soft texture of baby alpaca and the luster of silk give it an elegant touch. The honeycomb mesh fabric is slightly sheer and incredibly lightweight. The fabric itself breathes deeply, making it a versatile piece that can be worn from autumn to early summer.

It is knitted at a factory in Ehime Prefecture. During the washing process, artisans use their many years of experience and tactile sense to judge the finish, making final adjustments in mere seconds. Furthermore, to bring out the unique texture of alpaca, they prioritize natural drying, which takes more time, over machine drying. This attention to detail is evident throughout the process.

■ The gray color variation is available here.

Launched in Autumn/Winter 2024 by stylist Naoko Okusa. This brand is like a magazine content, capturing the mood of the moment and expressing it as a new style. The brand name "NO.b" combines the initials "NO" of the editor-in-chief (director) Naoko Okusa, and "b" from Okusa's favorites: "book, beer, black, beach." It aims to be a brand filled with surprise and joy "every issue," reflecting the real feelings of busy consumers, offering exciting suggestions for slightly more advanced styles, and capturing the atmosphere of the times. The second collection is themed "black."
