About Brown Supply
Brown Supply is an original brand that embodies VERNACLE's theme, "Life & Journey." In today's world, where things and information are overflowing and just living can be exhausting, we collect "things necessary to live comfortably and in a good mood every day." The theme that supports our activities, "Life and Journey," is "Travel to cultivate a life, cherish each day to travel, and cultivate the culture of life." We create essential, primitive products that allow us to cherish the time that passes before our eyes and gather the small joys of each day.
Everything is made from earth.
The word "brown" in the name refers to the Earth. Everything in this world was originally part of the Earth. Buildings, food, tools, and even humans—all "materials"—are made from elements, minerals, and organic matter that originally existed on Earth. We named our brand "Brown Supply" as a way to acknowledge this "obvious" reality. Working with artists who share our philosophy, we develop our premium decaffeinated coffee series, "Allday COFFEE," as well as supplies perfect for coffee time. Our "CRAFTED OPEN SHIRT" is a reimagining of the flannel shirt, a staple in our fashion, dyed with natural tea leaves at a tea dyeing studio in Shizuoka Prefecture. The buttonholes are hand-embroidered, stitch by stitch, and reimagined as a front-opening haori (jacket) style. It's an item that can be worn by both parents and children.
Our Message
This earth nurtures us.
Everything in the world was born on this planet, and we share a mysterious relationship for every moment we spend together.
You can never find again what you have lost,
You cannot encounter anything that has not yet been born.
So, let's live our lives with confidence, without assuming that things will continue as they are.
Life & Journey
