MESSAGE
Since 1975, Sun Fashion Corp. has been delivering textile materials, mainly garment accessories, to various customers around the world.
In recent years, the environment surrounding our industry has changed drastically, and “sustainability” has become an essential key word for both suppliers and consumers. We believe this is not just a passing trend, but rather will become an even bigger swell in the future.
It is very important to be more considerate of the global environment. Yet at the same time, it is important to not only use recyclable materials on the assumption that they will be thrown away, but also to “use good products carefully for a long time”, as the word “MOTTAINAI” has become a universal phrase for sustainability. We believe that it is our mission to provide our customers with high-quality products that contribute to this goal.
True sustainability means that all stakeholders in society can sustain their activities. Keeping this in mind, Sun Fashion will continue to offer ideas that are beneficial to sellers, buyers, and society as a whole, without forgetting the ancient Japanese spirit of “Triple Win”.
