Lumine New Man Introduces Sustainable Uniforms for Fall/Winter 2025

Introduction to Lumine New Man’s Sustainable Initiative

Lumine Co., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, is partnering with Andesty, a member of the Andesty HD Group, to introduce innovative sustainable uniforms beginning in autumn/winter 2025. The uniforms will officially debut on September 1, 2025, promoting eco-friendly practices while maintaining modern aesthetics.

Key Features of the Uniforms

- Recycled Polyester Threads: The uniforms are crafted from recycled polyester threads, significantly reducing the use of petroleum resources. These durable fabrics are resistant to wrinkles and pilling, along with excellent stretchability, ensuring all-day comfort.
- Year-Round Fit: This initiative strives to effectively reduce waste by allowing for a full year of wear instead of seasonal changes.
- Versatile Styling: The design facilitates multiple styling options, enabling wearers to express their personal style.

Background and Rationale

In previous years, the uniforms underwent seasonal updates, leading to considerable waste post-wear, even after recycling efforts converted them into solid fuels. Through this new approach, Lumine and Andesty aim to minimize waste significantly.
By crafting durable, easy-to-maintain, and stylish uniforms, the collaboration promotes longevity in corporate apparel. The design is under the auspices of Andesty’s sustainable B2B brand O0u, ensuring a focus on environmental responsibility while offering various styling alternatives.

Lumine adheres to its sustainability policy, embodied in the phrase, "WE ILLUMINATE THE FUTURE... the choices I make daily shape our future." This principle guides their commitment to reducing uniform waste while fostering positive changes for the Earth and the environment.

Uniform Details for Autumn/Winter 2025

The new uniforms utilize recycled polyester threads made from PET bottles and worn-out garments. Despite their recycled nature, they maintain quality akin to traditional polyester fabrics. This choice not only curtails petroleum usage but also contributes to waste reduction efforts, marking a significant step towards sustainability.
