About the exhibitor
POLS is a modern textile brand that came into creation in 2015 with a collaboration between textile designer Kanako Kajiwara, and the well-established dyeing and textile manufacturer Maruman, which was founded in 1901.
Maruman specialises in dyeing techniques in which the yarn is dyed before being woven, instead of afterwards. With a wealth of experience and rich knowledge from their parent company’s century of working with textiles, POLS aims to create new artistic works while communicating the beauty of accessible, modern textiles.
About the products
POLS wants to express the presence of the historic Banshu weaving into intricate three-dimensional textile. The jacquard weaving made from yarn-dyed in advance results in a vivid colored woven fabric that is both delicate and tough, traditional and modern. A jacquard weaving that only POLS can make. They want to show us a new world of textiles that makes us simply happy to wear them.
