Ecological Fashion Brand

Several years have passed since our 1993 fashion show in the waste incineration factory. It has been our belief that the day would come when fashion and the environment would work together in harmony.

In Japan, nature has been considered a god since ancient times. From this abundance comes the term "beauty of nature". Unfortunately, however, in the twenty-first century more importance is placed on convenience and economic growth with the endless cycle of mass production and consumer waste. This has lead to the destruction of the balance of the environment on a global scale. ECOMACO® aims to protect the ‘origin of beauty = nature’ equation that has afforded us so much richness and comfort, and will continue making nature friendly products in order to achieve this goal.
ECOMACO® advocates "Ecology - raw materials that can be returned to nature", "Healthy - raw materials that are good to our skin", "Free - freeness of lifestyle for the mind and body", and for raw materials uses a new natural fiber made from corn, bamboo, soybeans and Japanese paper.
By using natural dyes reflective of each season, ECOMACO® is communicating the LOHAS (lifestyles of health and sustainability) lifestyle, clad in the four seasons of Japan, from our base in nature filled Nagano.

Wear natural colors, find the new you

Natural color diagnosis

"Wear nature colors, find the new you"

Have you ever worn a favorite natural colored piece of clothing, or thought you had your makeup on just right and someone made an unwelcome remark like "you look old" or "you look pale"? It is most likely because it was not a color that truly suited you. There are certain colors that naturally suit each one of us.
From amongst the multitude of natural colors, Ms. Oka's nature color diagnosis will determine the best individual color that suits you, makes you look more beautiful, and healthy.

Nature Color Therapy

"Confirming one's existence through natural energy"

In the nature color therapy that Ms. Oka performs, she selects from the myriad of natural colors that we experience in daily life and picks out colors that are necessary for one to get to know oneself and comfort the mind and body. Amongst the natural colors that surround us, colors that you unconsciously prefer are sending a message that you need to take another look at yourself.
Nature color therapy is a way to help draw out oneself by communicating the natural colors in the form of words. Through colors you can get to know yourself. Let's find the colors that will effectively support you in getting to know yourself.

Image Consulting

"Corporate Image Building via Corporate Color"

Nowadays the 21st century is being called the "environment century". Many industries and groups are preparing corporate colors and designs that utilize nature in their motif, presenting an image of carrying out operations that are environment-friendly. Corporate color refers to the use of a unified color design that expresses the intended image, concept or other ideas of the corporation or organization.
Ms. Oka proposes not only making beneficial use of the company's logo, brochures etc., through corporate color, but also transforming existing corporate images to coexist with nature, the way 21st century corporations should.
