There are many items that differentiate your outfits from others, such as brightly colored tops, patterned pants, and hard printed T-shirts, but I believe that there is nothing more useful than a “low-gauge knit” that is knit in a “zakkuri” style.
From beautiful to casual
I try to avoid wearing the same clothes as everyone else, and I am not a fan of flashy outfits that stand out from the crowd. Ideally, I would like to achieve an outfit that is based on basics but subtly differentiated from others by its silhouette and details. However, with the focus on normcore and quiet luxury in 2024 and street chic in 2025, simple styling has recently become the mainstream, and I find it very difficult to differentiate myself from others. Zakknit knitwear” is the solution to this problem of differentiation.

When most people think “I want a knit,” they think of the high to middle gauge sweaters sold at mass merchandisers such as Uniqlo and MUJI. On the other hand, zakkunit knitwear, as the name suggests, is characterized by its low-gauge, uneven look, which makes it stand out from the rest at a glance without resorting to flashy colors, prints, embroidery, or other designs. By incorporating zakknit knitwear, you can easily create a coordinated look with a twist, even if you use basic and subdued colors.
The charm of zakkunit knitwear (1)Simply by wearing it, you can easily give a stylish impression
There is no need to try out eccentric designs or flashy colors. Even with a simple item configuration and subdued use of color, you can add a twist to your outfit and achieve a coordinated look that is different from the others by simply incorporating a zaknit knit. The uneven and expressive texture is sure to break up the monotony of a one-tone coordinate.

The charm of zakkunit knitwear (2)
Compared to high-gauge knitwear, which has a more relaxed feel, the zakkunit knitwear has a more relaxed feel and goes well with modern relaxed loose silhouettes. A modern spring/summer coordinate is as good as complete with a zakkunit knit with wide shoulders and body, and a short length.
One of the charms of zaku knitwear is that you can change the look of your outfit by changing the innerwear you wear with it. It is also great to wear with a basic crew-neck T-shirt, or with a round-neck T-shirt or tank top for a more open look.

The charm of zakknit knitwear (3)
Zakknit knitwear is highly breathable and has a dry touch that feels good on the skin, making it less stressful to wear. By wearing it over your shoulders during the day and then throwing it over your head when the sun goes down, you can expect to see it in action even on sweaty days when the temperature rises to near 30 degrees Celsius.

SUKHNA
This time, we introduced “SUKHNA” & “ZEN”, which feature an original zakku knitted fabric designed inspired by rattan furniture. Although made of 100% natural cotton, it has a dry touch, wrinkle resistance, and washable (OK for home laundering) functions that are comparable to those of functional materials. The uneven knitted fabric is easy to pull apart from the skin, and the moderately shiny look adds a touch of class to your outfits. The knitted fabric is wrinkle-resistant, so it can be woven loosely or worn over the shoulder or around the waist as an accent without hesitation. This is a must-have knit that will give a chic and stylish look to your outfits.
