founded in 2015 by toshiaki watanabe and yukari watanabe, cottle is based in kojima — the historic home of japanese denim and textile craftsmanship.
available at carrousel the store, cottle creates handmade japanese garments using natural dyes, original hemp-cotton fabrics, and traditional techniques from a restored 130-year-old textile factory.
known for natural indigo dyeing, rich textures, and refined workwear silhouettes, cottle blends heritage japanese craftsmanship with modern everyday wear. jackets, trousers, shirts, and outerwear are designed to age beautifully and gain character over time. from fabric development and dyeing to sewing and finishing, every step happens in kojima, ensuring authenticity, quality, and attention to detail.
rooted in japanese workwear culture and artisanal craftsmanship, cottle represents thoughtful, sustainable japanese fashion made with integrity, purpose, and respect for material and process.
