【OEM Aprons】Interview with the café 2022 (2024/05/15)
Impressions on using Apparel OEM Search
We used to outsource apron production to another company, but due to fabric procurement However, we were unable to manufacture aprons to our satisfaction due to the purchase of fabric. So we decided to use the “Apparel OEM Search” to find a domestic and overseas company that met our requirements.
I was able to talk to a variety of companies through the Apparel OEM Search. All the companies were very responsive and had a good track record, which showed the high quality of the registered companies.
Deciding on an OEM partner, points that were important to us when making the request
Since our previous improvement was in the fabric, this time we looked for a company with strong fabric purchasing capabilities. Among several companies that contacted us, we requested the company that had the fastest and most accurate response time.
In the actual communication, we were able to manufacture aprons that were nicer than we had imagined by checking the previous samples and communicating the improvements we needed to make. In addition, we received advice not only on processing techniques but also on design, and simple changes to specifications were sometimes reworked at the factory.
The “Michelle Machoto” concept
The concept is to create aprons that even people who do not normally wear aprons will want to wear. Michelle Machoto” aprons are designed with an emphasis on design rather than functionality, and the structure of the aprons dares not to include pockets, creating a smart and glamorous look. The flowers on the apron are wildflowers and vegetable flowers, such as the Japanese knotweed and rakkyo, and we would be happy if this apron could be used as a springboard for people to develop an interest in vegetables and wildflowers.
We expect that wearing these cute aprons will brighten the atmosphere of those around them, leading to a warm home environment and a lively work environment.
Future brand development of the café 2022
As for the development of “Michelle Machoto,” the 92 floral designs already completed will be sequentially adopted for use on aprons and released.
In addition to individual demand, the uniforms are also used as uniforms for cafes and beauty salons, and we would like to respond to this kind of demand as well.
Cute aprons will brighten the atmosphere of the store and attract more customers.
We intend to contribute to economic and community revitalization through apron sales.
