About cottle
cottle is a Japanese clothing brand founded in 2015 by Toshiaki Watanabe and Yukari in Kojima, Okayama—an area renowned for its rich textile and denim heritage. The brand operates from a renovated 130-year-old textile factory that functions as both atelier and gallery, reflecting its deep commitment to craftsmanship and hands-on production. cottle draws heavily on Japanese folk traditions and utilitarian design, creating garments that feel timeless, textured, and purpose-driven.
Material development is central to the brand’s identity. Fabrics are often dyed using natural methods such as indigo, persimmon tannin, sumi ink, and iron oxide, resulting in rich, earthy tones and evolving character over time. Working with natural fibers like cotton, linen, and hemp, cottle produces garments designed to age beautifully and become personal artifacts of wear. With a small, dedicated team, the brand prioritizes integrity, sustainability, and cultural continuity—crafting what can best be described as thoughtful uniforms for everyday living.
