Hello.
This is Kimura from the ApparelX trend blog.
Today, I’d like to introduce GINGA, which handles synthetic leather products.
The ApparelX maker page is here.
In this blog, for those in the apparel business looking for faux leather materials, we will introduce the company overview and products.
GINGA is an original brand of Simura, a specialized trading company that handles synthetic leather products such as leather and suede items.
Since its founding in Osaka in 1966 as a specialized trading company for fashion materials, mainly leather and suede products, Simura Co., Ltd. has handled materials for bags, belts, shoes, clothing, and more.
Since then, amid the rapidly changing fashion industry, it has continued developing products rich in originality by leveraging its many years of knowledge, experience, and know-how.
In addition to PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PU (synthetic leather), and semi-synthetic leather, it also handles canvas.

By laminating transparent colors, this crocodile pattern has depth and vibrancy. The embossed pattern on the back and belly, which is its defining feature, is realistically expressed.
The glossy, textured embossing gives it a realistic feel. Compared with exotic leather, the fixed roll length also means less waste, which is another great point.

A distressed synthetic leather fabric. The precisely patterned embossing has a three-dimensional feel and makes an impact even when used in part.
It is also recommended for bags, pouches, and other miscellaneous goods that make use of the pattern as is.

A vegan leather made using an environmentally friendly process, based on a nonwoven fabric formed by three-dimensionally entangling ultrafine fibers of 0.1 to 0.001 denier and assembled in the same way as the collagen fiber structure of natural leather.
With a deep hue, a rubbed finish, natural leather-like flexible stretch, excellent strength, and high durability, it has all the physical properties suitable for using artificial leather in furniture applications.
It has a moderate thickness and suppleness, so it seems likely to be useful for a wide range of items such as outerwear pocket sections.

This sheet fabric changes color and shines depending on the angle, like a soap bubble.
A video is also posted on the product page, but we hope you will see the glossy iridescent effect in person.

GINGA's long-selling casual PVC leather. It comes in a wide range of colors, from dark tones to pastel shades.
In addition to gold and silver, the fluorescent color product number Fluorescent 777 is also available.
In closing
