KOBATOU TEXTILE

KOBATOU TEXTILE

50,000 archived samples to respond to any demand

A family owned company founded in 1920, it started as a kimono producer. Fashion fabric production began after 1945, quickly establishing the company as a leading manufacturer in the city. Kobatou is especially proud of the 50,000 fabric samples in its well-maintained archive. The owner, Kobayashi Masako, says: “We are always happy to show the amazing variety of Kiryu textiles to anyone interested.” The archive helps the company to respond to any demand from clients, which allowed it to build wide support and trust. More machines (2 German Dorniers and 28 Jacquards) mean a larger production scale, as well as a broader product range, such as faux-kimono, mixed natural fibres, and free-style picturesque design with fil-coupé jacquard. Kobatou has exhibited internationally, including the most renowned textile fair, Milano Unica. The company enjoys a great market presence both in Japan and overseas.

KOBATOU TEXTILE
A plain weave multi colour tartan fabric. Patterned and raised with the red chenille yarn.
A fabric woven with many different yarns, yet very light, as the floats on the back are clipped off. The shine from the polyester and the volume fromacrylic wool bring a natural irregularity and a raised effect.
A yarn dyed matelasse. The stretchy nature of high-performance Solotex fibre brings a raised effect.
The acetate yarns are woven in the polyester base. Finely clipped into a milled effect.
The triacetate yarns are used to create the deepest black. This fabric dye results in the matelasse-like texture. The drum-roll pressure finish brings a faux-leather effect.
A fil coupé jacquard fabric made of the polyester/cupro yarns. Six different colour yarns, including metallic, are used to achieve the kaleidoscopic design.
A bold checker fabric accentuated with the black yarns with fil coupé.
A fil coupé jacquard fabric with cupro rayon base. Sheer, soft, light, and drapes well.
