What to know about CIOTA
CIOTA is a Japanese apparel label launched in 2019 by Shiota Co., Ltd., an Okayama sewing factory and textile manufacturer, with designer-director Masakazu Arasawa. The brand controls every stage in-house: raw material selection, fabric development, weaving, garment design and sewing. It works almost exclusively with rare Indian Suvin cotton, an extra-long-staple fiber prized for silk-like luster and soft hand. Collections stay deliberately minimal, letting fabric lead: high-rise Suvin denim, sweats, shirting and outerwear in relaxed heritage silhouettes. CIOTA operates its own Tokyo store in Shibuya and stocks specialist retailers worldwide.
