In Japan in 2025, it would be an absolute nonsense to wear gloves that would not enable you to use your smartphone. It should very soon be the same all over Europe. 

This is the starting point - the very reason why EVOLG was created. Two years of research and development led to a glove with flawless finishing and built-in touchscreen compatibility from the very first design. An accessory crafted with the same precision as a garment : a cut that follows the hand, and technology that never compromises comfort. From 2008 to 2010. It's already been 15 years since EVOLG came to life. 

Then it really started in 2010, the first range of tactile and quality gloves you could find, knitting only for a start. The gloves are directly knitted with conductive yarns at the fingertips. They are designed to follow everyday life - urban, active, demanding - crafted with style, precision and discretion. Colors, textures and finishes are carefully selected : not to follow trends - EVOLG rather anticipates them - but to create pieces that adapt to every style and talks to every gender. Then will come the blends of wool and leather, with cutting-edge technology ensuring the same precision, no matter the material. The gloves are produced in two Japanese factories, where the prevailing culture is the pursuit of efficiency and quality. One is located on the country's largest southern island, the other in the center of Japan.  

The name of the brand "EVOLG" is the reverse of the world "GLOVE". Fumio has always been fond of word games.

My mission, as a french distributor, is to make Evolg become a famous brand all over Europe : an authentic Japanese product with high technology and comfort, sold in the best European shops. 

Evolg adventure in Europe is at first the discovery of another culture, another way of operating, which makes you think and move forward. 
Meeting Fumio, my partner at the far end of the world - on my left side -has been an amazing experience. Communication has been quite difficult during the first two - or three - years, but it has been much better since we shared sushis and couple of sake together in his favourite pub in Tokyo. Now I can say that we learned to understand and respect each other. Every new Zoom meeting is easier than the previous one. And I must also say that Toru, on my left side on the photo, who was born in Hawaï, fluent in english, with a perfect understanding of our western culture, is essential in our success.
