ANAP Holdings and Nakama City Join Forces
On June 5, 2025, ANAP Holdings, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, formalized a partnership with Nakama City in Fukuoka Prefecture to launch the "Children's Future Clothing Circulation Agreement." This innovative collaboration aims to support children's welfare facilities, including children’s homes and group homes, by providing clothing samples that were not sold during the production process.
Commitment to Children's Development
ANAP Holdings is committed to the belief that fashion can serve as a catalyst for self-expression and confidence in children. By allowing children to select their own clothes, this initiative not only boosts their self-esteem but also teaches them how to dress appropriately for various occasions. The goal is to create an empowering environment where every child can express themselves through clothing.
Environmental Awareness
In addition to focusing on the well-being of children, this agreement has significant environmental implications. The initiative aims to effectively utilize clothing samples that would otherwise be discarded, contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions and promoting resource circulation.
