“ApparelX- Changing apparel material and accessories procurement process”

Developed and operated by Okura Shoji Co., Ltd., with the idea of ”Changing apparel material and accessories procurement process”, ApparelX is a site where you can order all apparel textile, trims and accessories at once, going beyond the boundaries of location and distribution channels. ApparelX has been welcomed by many apparel manufacturers and accessory factories, with the number of registered companies exceeding 10000. There have been many inquiries for Japanese fabric from over the world, so we decided to develop an Ecommerce site that supports the languages and currencies of different countries to introduce Japan’s finest products worldwide. Besides bringing Japan products to the world, in the future, we aim to be the network where overseas textile, trims and accessories can be easily purchased in Japan. Finally ApparelX will be a service which users all over the world can procure goods from any country, regardless of languages and borders.
