What It Is

ogura-m.com is the official website of Ogura Meriyasu Seisakusho Co., Ltd., Japan. Founded in 1929, this is a long-established sewing factory with nearly a century of history. Its core business is providing OEM manufacturing for a full range of sewn products for corporate brands and independent creators, with strict safety control for children's clothing as its defining feature. It also supports the transition to sustainable domestic production, and is a highly experienced manufacturing partner in Japan's apparel industry.

Core Features & Pricing

The factory's business covers three main areas:

1. Full-range OEM manufacturing for corporate brands, offering end-to-end integrated services from planning and proposal, pattern making, fabric sourcing all the way to mass production, inspection and delivery. It accommodates orders of varying scales, from as small as 500 pieces per month to as large as 100,000 pieces per month. It operates owned factories in Tochigi and Tokyo, Japan, and Shanghai, China, and can also work with partner factories in Bangladesh to meet different cost requirements.
2. Startup support for emerging apparel brands and independent creators. You can get full-process consultation even if you have no prior sewing experience, and support for ultra-small-lot trial production is available.
3. Sustainable brand development support, including eco-friendly fabric proposals and made-to-order production to reduce inventory waste. It is the first sustainable factory in Japan to earn OEKO-TEX STeP certification.

Pricing is quoted per piece. For domestic production in Japan, the minimum order is 100 pieces. Processing fees do not include material costs: T-shirts cost approximately 1,200–2,000 JPY per piece. Pattern making and sample fees start at 8,000 JPY, and single sample pieces start at 15,000 JPY. Final quotes are calculated separately based on style, materials, and order volume.

Pros, Cons & Target Users

Advantages: Close to 100 years of industry experience, especially a full-process formaldehyde control system built specifically for children's clothing, with safety standards far higher than average factories. It has friendly, helpful service, is welcoming to startups, and its commitment to eco-friendly production aligns with current industry trends.
Disadvantages: It has temporarily stopped accepting new inquiries from individuals and startup brands, and is only open for corporate orders at the moment. The website is only available in Japanese, and production costs are higher compared to manufacturing in Southeast Asia.

It is a great fit for collaboration with apparel brands that need high-quality production based in Japan, new sustainable-focused apparel brands, and children's clothing brands with strict requirements for quality and safety.
