KNT365 Opens Its First Flagship Store in Harajuku

On September 30, 2025, KNT365, a lifestyle brand focused on environmentally friendly practices, unveiled its first flagship store, 'THE KNT365 HOUSE', located along Meiji Street in Harajuku, Tokyo. The company is renowned for utilizing recycled polyester to create stylish and functional knit bags that promote sustainability.

KNT365 operates from its factory, KNT365Lab, in Osaka, collaborating with artists globally to create art pieces designed to be beneficial for the earth, humans, and animals. Part of their mission involves upcycling materials that couldn't be used in traditional artworks, thereby breathing new life into them through unique creations known as 'upcycled works'. At 'THE KNT365 HOUSE', the company plans to regularly host events centered around these upcycled works, dubbed 'Upcycle Week', encouraging visitors to explore and discover something new with each visit.
