＜TOQUE＞Baby Alpaca Low-Gauge Knit Coat

A luxurious knit coat made from 100% rare baby alpaca. By not lining it, you can fully enjoy the unique soft texture and warmth of alpaca, which is different from wool. The simple design means it can be matched with a variety of items such as shirts, cut-and-sew tops, and dresses, making it a reliable piece for any occasion.

It is knitted in a knit factory in Ehime Prefecture, where during the washing process, the craftsmen's many years of experience and tactile judgment determine the finish, and final adjustments are made down to the second. Furthermore, to bring out the unique texture of alpaca, they insist on natural drying, even if it takes longer, rather than using a time-saving dryer. Such meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail.

"TOQUE" means "touch" in Spanish. We pursue comfort that delights the skin and allows both mind and body to relax. We offer simple tops and dresses that are not influenced by trends, using only carefully selected natural fibers. All processes, including spinning, knitting, dyeing, and sewing, are carried out in domestic factories. We also pay close attention to the fact that products can be easily hand-washed at home, creating items that allow you to daily and long-lastingly experience the感動 and comfort of wearing them.
