Apparel materials

Supporting the fashion industry with a wide array of materials
procured from around the world

Clothes use buttons and zippers, badges and emblems, and any number of other parts. Shimada Shoji provides secondary materials like those to apparel manufacturers, focusing on high-quality men’s clothing, sportswear and casual lines. Having more than 1,000 suppliers within and outside Japan, and handling hundreds of thousands of items allows you to “ask Shimada—it has everything!” Moreover, with the experience and results cultivated over 130 years, we have the knowledge and the ability to select secondary materials with the necessary functions according to the use and situation—a powerful tool.

LINE UP

EXBITION

Trade fairs are where buyers and people from the apparel industry from all over the world come to get a good look at trends and the latest technologies. The number of exhibits and participants is on an enormous scale, and visitors can approach and hold business discussions with vendors speedily and efficiently. Shimada Shoji started exhibiting at these kinds of trade fairs in other countries ahead of its rivals. By continuing to develop new materials and disseminating information, and by keeping up with the latest trends, we have steadily made the Shimada brand a well-known name outside as well as inside Japan. By proactively going to observe, instead of just exhibiting, and by constantly absorbing trends from around the world, we can improve our product development and capacity to make proposals in business. In Japan, we exhibited at “New Envionmental Exposition” and “Sustainable Fashion EXPO”. We introduced various items that contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

The exhibition was very well received.

SHOWROOM

In August 2022, a new showroom was established at the Osaka Head Office. We now have a total of four showrooms at our Tokyo Head Office, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. They display samples of the secondary materials and products we handle. They are also places to disseminate up-to-date trend information that we have proposed at exhibitions in Japan and elsewhere. We can accommodate business discussions while showing actual products, and we make effective proposals for new products.
