Small Scraps, Big Imagination: Go Green

Fabric craft activities at MIKI HOUSE Tangram in New York during the 2025 Go Green campaign

A small piece of fabric can become the beginning of a child's next idea. In 2025, MIKI HOUSE's Go Green campaign invited families at selected stores around the world to turn sample fabrics into handmade keepsakes.

The fabric's next life

Before a finished garment reaches a store, fabrics and patterns go through development. Sample pieces help the team explore materials and designs, but they do not all become clothing. The workshops gave those pieces another purpose, inviting children to make something personal.

Using the fabric's colors and patterns, participants created thank-you cards, tissue holders and other small items. The activity made a simple idea tangible: materials can have value beyond their first use.

Shared creativity in New York

The New York events took place at The Plaza on June 7 and Tangram on June 8, 2025. Children decorated letters of thanks for loved ones, using fabric patterns to give each card its own character.

In Singapore, children made pocket tissue holders—a different way to turn the same kind of material into something useful. Participating locations also included Paris, London's Harrods, Shanghai and Taipei.

Beyond the workshop table

The campaign also highlighted other ways of using resources thoughtfully. Through Kurabo's L∞PLUS, or Looplus, technology, cotton cutting offcuts from sewing factories are broken down into fibers and spun into new yarn. MIKI HOUSE uses that yarn for towels offered as customer gifts on selected occasions.

Other initiatives described for the 2025 campaign included traceable natural rubber in Made-in-Japan baby-shoe soles and changes to selected store supplies, such as paper bags, biomass-derived polybags and wooden hangers. At the workshops, children encountered the broader idea through a creative activity they could enjoy with their families.

These workshops took place in 2025. This archive story records the campaign and the creations it inspired.
