What to know about FilMelange
The mill work is the product
FilMelange controls cotton selection, yarn spinning, knitting and sewing in-house, working with mills and craftspeople in Wakayama and elsewhere in Japan.
A wardrobe of cut-and-sew basics
The range stays with jersey tees, sweats, knitwear and plain trousers rather than tailoring or outerwear-led collections.
Auralee's founders shaped it early
Yuhi Ozaki and Ryota Iwai, later of Auralee, directed the first collections after the label started in 2007, which explains the restrained cuts and roughly $250 sweatshirts.

Brand facts
FilMelange is a Japanese label founded in 2007 that builds its wardrobe around cut-and-sew essentials — jersey tees, sweats, knitwear and simple trousers. Its name pairs "fil" (thread) with "mélange," and the brand controls the process in-house from cotton selection through yarn spinning, fabric knitting and sewing, working with mills and craftspeople in Wakayama and elsewhere in Japan. Early collections were directed by Yuhi Ozaki and Ryota Iwai, later of Auralee. Sweatshirts run roughly $240-270; the flagship HOUSE FilMelange sits in Motoazabu, Tokyo.
