The brand name "melple" is a coined term derived from "mellow people." It represents people who lead rich lifestyles, inspired by the mellow and relaxed atmosphere of California. Influenced by such culture, we propose a "Modern Vintage Style" that reflects those values in our craftsmanship.
Rather than simply reproducing archives from the past, we propose evolving cultures and styles in our own unique melple way. Please enjoy the relaxed, inimitable atmosphere that is quintessentially melple.
A mellow rugby shirt that lets you feel the sea breeze of the West Coast. Amidst the rising trend in styles like IVY and PREPPY, this piece offers a unique melple twist rather than a direct take. It features a traditional rugby shirt placket and buttons, but the collar has been removed for the perfect, laid-back balance. The retro stripes, exuding the vibe of 70s California, are knit in Wakayama using recycled drop waste from extra-long staple cotton. Combined with the five-quarter sleeves and relaxed silhouette, it will be a versatile piece to wear all year round. Wear it on its own in spring and summer, or enjoy layering it with innerwear or outerwear in autumn and winter. The left chest features the mellow message, "For Your Loved Ones." Includes a signature melple triangular label on the left hem.

This is a melple-style rugby shirt I was really looking forward to after seeing it at the exhibition. It uses a lightweight, thin, retro striped material that is incredibly comfortable to wear even in the hot season. While keeping the placket typical of a rugby shirt, it features a unique design with the collar removed. With its relaxed silhouette, it's the perfect piece for the coming summer.
