Kohei Makita, who launched the brand MOTIVE that dominated the street scene during the peak of Ura-Harajuku, relocated his base to his hometown of Osaka in 2009 and started the team 【THE UNION/The Union】 which consists of 5 lines: THE FABRIC, THE COLOR, THE ONE SHOW, THE WOOOPS, and THE MERMAID. With a strong commitment to Made in JAPAN, they handle as much of the production process as possible in-house, and the products created through this background are worth paying attention to.
