Vision
Toward a world enriched
by creative expression.
A product created with care for even a single owner —
one that meets their unique preferences and touches their heart —
ultimately reaches and resonates with many.
At Inoya / MSPC, we strive to create such masterpieces
by embracing the following values:
-
The Spirit of the Artisan and the Spirit of the Merchant
The dedication of our makers brings fulfillment and inspiration to those who own our products.
-
Imagination and Innovation
We imagine the lifestyle and values of each owner,
bringing ideas to life through creativity and refined technique. -
Tradition and Trend
We honor time-honored techniques and timeless presence,
while responding boldly to the needs of the times
and creating new value that the world has yet to see.
Brand management
“The Inoya Approach
to Brand Management”
At Inoya, we take a holistic approach to brand management by ensuring consistency across all aspects of our business—
from product development and production, to distribution, sales, corporate philosophy, and our long-term vision.
By examining the needs of our target customers from multiple angles,
we integrate originality and clear brand concepts into every stage of the process.
We have adopted the SPA* model, now standard in the apparel industry,
and actively apply it to reduce inefficiencies across the supply chain.
Drawing on the know-how we’ve accumulated since our founding,
we aim to contribute to the industry’s future through this integrated system.
Rather than confining ourselves to a closed, internal supply chain,
we also engage in wholesale partnerships with other companies and manufacturers.
This flexible and diversified model allows us to develop unique sales channels and respond dynamically to market needs.
Looking ahead, we will continue to evolve our planning and craftsmanship to deliver even greater value.
*SPA (Specialty Store Retailer of Private Label Apparel) is a highly vertically integrated business model that includes everything from material sourcing and product planning to manufacturing, logistics, and store design.
The term was introduced by Donald Fisher, founder of GAP, in 1986.*
