Batoner

Description

Rooted in Sagae, in Japan’s Yamagata Prefecture, Batoner has carried on the expertise of the Okuyama Meriyasu factory since 2013, a historic knitting manufacturer founded in 1951. The brand develops knitwear made from predominantly Japanese yarns, crafted within a local network of workshops where artisanal processes, vintage machines and advanced technology coexist. Drawing on a long-standing heritage yet embracing a contemporary aesthetic, Batoner creates a wardrobe of sweaters, cardigans and accessories defined by generous volumes and distinctive knit structures. This modern interpretation of Japanese knitwear, simple in appearance but rich in craftsmanship, has earned the brand a place in some of the most discerning boutiques in Japan and internationally.
