WHAT'S RIFORMA

RIFORMA Inc. is a group of artisans based in Yamanashi Prefecture who operate under the concept of "Spreading artisan skills from Yamanashi to the world."

Based on three ideas: "Providing new enjoyment through clothing," "Reviving artisans," and "Spreading Japan's excellent manufacturing to the world," we create clothing with reliable techniques and a discerning aesthetic, and distribute it not only domestically but also around the world.



What lies ahead in the work

01

IGARASHI To make TROUSERS and Ignore a reproducible brand. And to gain high recognition. We create products that we truly want to recommend, not just products that sell, and can propose and sell them to customers. This will realize a to C mechanism.

02

By establishing a group company that will operate its own factory and provide consulting services, we will increase the opportunities for our in-house staff to advance. We will develop craftsmen who can think about business.

03

We aim to create a company that can generate sales in-house without relying on others. We also aim to revive craftsmen and improve their professional status by increasing sales and improving quality for our business partners.



target

Our products do not have a clear target audience. This is because custom-made clothing involves talking to customers who place orders and creating a garment that is just right for each individual. Our job is to do our best for each and every customer.

Our ideal customer is not someone who orders 10 items in one order, but rather someone who orders just one item each time, but with whom we can have a long-term relationship.

The reason is that we are still a young company. Our craftsmen are still developing. So rather than trying to make 10 items at once with our current skills, we want to get to know our customers' preferences and continue to provide them with products that are of a higher quality one by one for a long time to come.



Product Development

"We make what we truly want" is our product development policy. The products we envision are product-out, not market-in. Rather than "making what sells in the market," we create and propose to our customers what we truly want and what we truly want to recommend.

Direct to Consumer

RIFORMA Inc. offers Direct to We have adopted a direct-to-consumer business model. Through dialogue with our customers, we create the ideal clothing for each individual in our own workshop and deliver it directly to them. These garments are handcrafted by artisans in our workshop in Yamanashi Prefecture. Our products and our passion are shared through trunk shows held around the world, our ateliers, and our online store.

CEO

Toru Igarashi

RIFORMA Representative Director of Inc. During his time as a sales staff member at Ridea Co., Ltd. (now Strasburgo Co., Ltd.), he created bespoke trousers for customers and staff, which were highly praised. This led to the spread of IGARASHI not only in Japan but also around the world. He held trunk shows under the name of TROUSERS and produced over 2,000 pairs of trousers a year. After that, he moved his Jingumae atelier to Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture as his headquarters and workshop and established RIFORMA. He founded Inc. As a trousers craftsman, he continues to interact with customers and create trousers, while also training the next generation of craftsmen. He continues to thrive, armed with the know-how of trousers-making that he learned entirely on his own and a keen business sense that goes beyond the traditional boundaries of a craftsman.
