Better things for less.
improves is a men's fashion online shop operated by Improves Co., Ltd., founded in Osaka in March 2006 (President and Representative Director: Makoto Matsuura). The shop focuses on quality at low prices, offering cost-effective items across genres and categories in line with current trends and the times. With an approach that leaves no compromise from planning through production and avoids passing unnecessary intermediary margins or design fees on to product prices, it offers a wide range of items, including tops, outerwear, bottoms, and shoes, under the motto “quality and price are inversely proportional.” Product listings also include line labels such as “improves SELECT.”

Concept

improves offers items that combine low prices with a focus on quality. It consistently presents cost-effective items from the user's perspective, without being constrained by genre or category and in response to trends and the times. It makes no compromises from planning through production and allows no compromises in its approach to making products. Most of the products it carries are planned and produced in collaboration with partner companies, both in-house and externally. By responding sensitively to trends while adding its own interpretation, it offers a perspective unique to improves. It also takes pride in the quality and materials of its products, which it considers difficult for other shops to replicate. To make fashion enjoyable for more people, it places importance on cost performance. By not passing unnecessary intermediary margins or design fees on to product prices, it challenges the common perception that inexpensive goods are poor quality. Under the motto “quality and price are inversely proportional,” it will continue to offer items.
