■Project Background

Based on a global pandemic, our company has developed a glove made of Japan with antibacterial copper woven into silk and started selling on a Japanese crowdfunding site, Makuake. We attracted lots of attention from the public, and we got 144 supporters three days after the publish.

In consideration of the current global situation in which we don’t know when this pandemic will be handled and our hope that this product will be useful and essential for more people all over the world, we've decided to sell this product on INDIEGOGO. Also, this product is an improved version with renovated colors based on the voices of supporters in Japan.

■The four characteristics of this product

1. We used copper fiber that has antibacterial effects for the outside part.

2. We used 100% silk that has a pleasant texture for the inside part.

3. It is compatible with a touch screen display of smartphones or ATM.

4. We stick to a Japanese product, and it is a 3D design without sewing.

■Supporting comments received on a Japanese crowdfunding site, Makuake

・“My father, who finished his cancer treatment and radiation therapy, has been taking a walk and going to a hospital with a pair of plastic gloves, so I've decided to buy this product. I expect he will like this product.”

・“I work at a nursing home. I have really bad rough hands because of too much washing hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer. I was looking for gloves for the prevention of viral infections. I’d like to use this product for commuting.”

・“I’m a doctor. My wife and I are medical workers, so we are very careful about preventing viral infections. Thank you so much for your development of a vital product. I will take good care of it.”
