Create with Harajuku

When gim Co., Ltd. launched its knitwear business in Harajuku, it was a quiet residential area, unlike the glamorous fashion district of today. With the changing times, the Harajuku/Jingumae area has developed into an international fashion information center, and in order to continue to be a "safe, secure, bright, energetic, and attractive town," we will cooperate with the local community and fulfill our responsibility as a company to connect Harajuku's culture and industry, which is unique in the world, to the next generation.

株式会社ジムが原宿の地でニット事業を立ち上げた頃は、現在のような華やかなファッションの街とは違い静かな住宅地でした。
時代の変化と共に、原宿・神宮前一帯は国際的なファッションの情報発信地として発展し、今後も「安心・安全・明るく元気な魅力ある街」であり続けるために、私たちは地域の皆様と協力し、世界でも類を見ない原宿のカルチャー・産業を次世代へ繋ぐ企業としての責任を果たします。

Innovative material development

We will strive to become the world's number one knitwear manufacturer by procuring natural materials such as cashmere and wool through a safe and stable procurement network, and by actively working to develop high-quality materials and products that are environmentally friendly.

カシミヤやウールなどの天然素材を安全かつ安定した調達網で仕入れ、環境に配慮した高品質な素材、商品開発に積極的に取り組み、世界一のニットメーカーを目指して努力して参ります。

Contribution to the Local Community

Since our establishment in 1965, we have been actively involved in various community activities, including the Harajuku Jingumae Shopping Association, in order to contribute to Harajuku and Jingumae.

1965年の創業から現在まで、原宿及び神宮前の街に貢献できるよう、原宿神宮前商店会をはじめとした様々な地域活動に積極的に取り組んでおります。

Use of environmentally friendly materials

Use of Environmentally Friendly Materials
We have been developing products using organic cotton since 1990 under the slogan of "passing on the beauty of the earth to the next generation". We hope that the circle of environmental protection will be expanded to as many people as possible through the use of organic cotton.

環境配慮型素材の使用
「美しい地球を次世代に継承しよう」を合言葉に1990年からオーガニックコットンを使用した商品開発に取り組んでおります。オーガニックコットンを通じて少しでも多くの人に環境保護の輪が拡がっていくことを願っています。

Creating knit wear with Japanese factories

In today's fashion industry, the majority of the market is dominated by products made overseas. In such an environment, we continue to produce many of our products, including cashmere, at our domestic factories. We have been making our products in Japan for many years, using the best quality materials, our own designs, state-of-the-art weaving machines, and the skills of our skilled craftsmen. gim's knitwear is the culmination of Japanese craftsmanship, a combination of experience and skills cultivated over many years. We will not only pursue profits for our own company, but will engage in our business with the goal of involving the entire industry, including spinning and weaving, to further invigorate the manufacturing scene.

日本の産地と作りつづける
海外生産品が市場の大半を占める昨今のファッション業界。そんな中、私たちはカシミヤをはじめ多くの製品を国内工場で作り続けています。質の良い素材選びにはじまり、自社で細部までこだわり抜いたデザイン、最新鋭の織り機、そして熟練の職人たちの技術力。長年培ってきた経験や技術がつまったジムのニットには、日本のものづくりの技術が結集しています。自社の利益だけを追求するのではなく、紡績や織物をはじめとした産業全体を巻き込み、ものづくりの現場をより活性化させることを目標に事業に取り組んで参ります。
