Nishijin-ori textile brand PRAWEFT
Since the time of the Onin War in the 1400s, Nishijin-ori craftsmen have been producing world-class textiles unique to Japan, mainly for kimono, obi, and other Japanese garments, but also for use in interior decorating. This multi-colored, intricate, and picturesque style of textile, which is primarily made of silk interwoven with gold and silver yarns, is both unique and world-class. Nishijin-ori, which has transcended the realm of traditional Japanese clothing, has unlimited possibilities, not only as a fashion textile but also in the fields of bags, accessories, and interior decorations. Down through the generations, Nishijin-ori craftsmen have always adapted and changed with society, developing new traditions and techniques. PRAWEFT’s mission is to expand the potential of Nishijin-ori in the field of fashion textiles, in the same way that Japan has become an indispensable country in the field of fashion by incorporating the sensibilities of Japanese garments, cultivated since ancient times, into Western-style clothing.

Signifyd Launches Intelligent Returns to Help Retailers Tackle the Growing Returns Challenge15.9.2025 13:14:00 CEST | Press release
New solutions give retailers faster, safer refund capabilities and the insights needed to reduce the cost of returns Commerce protection provider Signifyd today unveiled Intelligent Returns, a two-solution suite designed to help retailers in the UK and Europe tackle the growing complexity and cost of returns. Consumers are clear about what they expect from retailers and in the UK and EU with consumer rights legislation reinforcing those expectations. A Signifyd survey of thousands of shoppers across the UK, Spain, Italy and France found that 77 percent say return policies strongly influence where they shop, while 94 percent say ease of return is essential.
