Introducing the Unique Collaboration between ESTNATION and FOLK
FOLK, a veteran uniform manufacturer founded in 1903 and based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is set to launch a new line of hospitality uniforms designed specifically for customer service staff on February 2, 2026, in collaboration with ESTNATION. This launch will coincide with the release of their new catalog, "FOLK GRACE."
Concept and Vision
The partnership between FOLK and ESTNATION represents a vision built around the philosophy of "Drawing a Color of Life," emphasizing clothing that not only meets functional needs but also moves the hearts of those who wear it. The aim is to provide high-quality uniforms that enhance staff trust and pride, merging FOLK's extensive experience in creating uniforms for the medical sector with ESTNATION’s pursuit of what constitutes true luxury in fashion.
Highlights of the New Uniforms
The collection features six different uniform styles, each crafted to meet specific needs of hospitality professionals while ensuring elegance and sophistication.
1. Front Staff Tunic (Style: EN200)
This stunning tunic is inspired by ESTNATION's signature peplum top, designed to flatter the neckline with a “Sabrina neck” that enhances the décolletage even during deep bows. Made from lightweight, supple materials, it offers a graceful silhouette that exudes elegance, priced at ¥15,000 (tax included: ¥16,500).
2. Sharply Designed Counseling Dress (Style: EN100)
Targeting medical office staff, this dress includes understated tucks on the shoulders for added dimension and a refined silhouette. The flared skirt creates an elegant drape that complements movement, priced at ¥17,000 (tax included: ¥18,700).
3. Versatile Receptionist Dress (Style: EN101) and Tunic (Style: EN201)
These items are crafted with roominess that caters to both reception duties and treatments, ensuring a perfect balance between fashion and function. They are designed to accommodate both service delivery and mobility, priced at ¥17,000 (tax included: ¥18,700) for the dress and ¥15,000 (tax included: ¥16,500) for the tunic.
4. Quality Scrubs (Style: EN700)
A sophisticated option for patient interactions that conveys both warmth and intelligence. Its simplicity allows the wearer’s expressions and gestures to shine through, priced at ¥12,000 (tax included: ¥13,200).
5. Minimalistic Pants (Style: EN300)
These pants feature a streamlined design with a bootcut silhouette that offers both comfort and style for long hours of wear, priced at ¥12,000 (tax included: ¥13,200).
Advanced Fabric Technology
All items from this new line will be made using the innovative "ES Luxe Motion" material, which is 100% polyester and boasts features such as electrostatic resistance, rapid drying, moisture absorption, and lightweight properties. This fabric covers the functional requirements expected from medical uniforms while ensuring durability and maintaining a beautiful, flattering silhouette through its unique double-woven structure.
