About CRAFTSHIPS, Inc.

OEM & ODM Partner Bringing Japanese Craftsmanship to Modern Brands

CraftShips Inc. is a creative manufacturing platform that provides comprehensive support for brand launches, product planning, OEM and ODM development, and production management.

Rather than simply manufacturing products according to predetermined specifications, we begin by understanding each brand’s concept, values, and future vision. We then combine the expertise of artisans, workshops, and specialized manufacturers throughout Japan to translate that vision into distinctive, tangible products.

We support a wide range of product categories, including apparel, bags, leather goods, fashion accessories, interior products, lifestyle goods, stationery, and corporate gifts. Depending on the project, our services can cover brand concept development, product planning, material and processing selection, design proposals, prototyping, mass production, production management, quality inspection, and final delivery.

CraftShips specializes in adapting and translating traditional Japanese craftsmanship for contemporary brands and modern lifestyles. Our network includes specialists in indigo dyeing, textile dyeing, embroidery, foil finishing, lacquer, woodworking, metalworking, glassmaking, ceramics, washi paper, and leatherwork. We can support not only the application of these techniques to existing products, but also the development of original products that combine different materials, processes, and regional craftsmanship.

We welcome projects that may be difficult to realize through conventional OEM manufacturing, including new brand launches, small-lot test production, new product development for existing brands, limited-edition items, corporate gifts, anniversary products, and collaborations with brands or intellectual properties.

CraftShips works with clients at every stage, from individuals launching their first brand, small businesses, and startups to established lifestyle brands and domestic or international companies. We tailor each project to the client’s current business stage, budget, desired quantity, sales channel, and long-term objectives, proposing a manufacturing approach that is both realistic and appropriate for the brand.

Our goal is not simply to produce an item. We aim to create products that strengthen brand value, communicate a meaningful story, and remain appreciated by their users for years to come.
