NEEDLES × The Make Happy Studio / Zipped Hoody - Poly Smooth “TMHS”

This is a collaboration item featuring the popular Poly Smooth zip-up hoodie from 〈NEEDLES〉, made with a lustrous material. It adopts the zip-up hoodie silhouette, which is not available in the standard track series, making it a special collaboration piece. The embroidered logo on the left chest, the glossy material, and the unique color combinations create a finish that is not just sporty but also fashionable, making it a highly versatile staple for any occasion. Available in two colors, the subdued color contrast between the body and the side lines enhances its stylish appeal.

The embroidered logo (papillon) on the left chest features a collaboration-exclusive design with logos from both NEEDLES and The Make Happy Studio.

The Make Happy Studio × NEEDLES 1st Collaboration

Bringing a little happiness into everyday life.

Bringing NEEDLES' free and peaceful mood into your daily life. The Make Happy Studio cherishes finding small joys in everyday life. These two sentiments have come together to create their first collaboration.

The joy of wearing clothes you love enriches your day. Such small happiness can also lead to someone else's smile.

In this campaign, we captured the everyday lives of people active in various fields wearing the collaboration items.

The reason they continue their work. Moments of happiness in their daily lives. When they feel their work or actions have brought happiness to someone.

And, “What does MAKE HAPPY mean to you?”

We explore the forms of “happiness” that live within each person’s work and life through interviews.

NEEDLES

NEEDLES is a brand designed by Keizo Shimizu, the founder of Nepenthes.

It offers jackets, shirts, pants, cutsews, and knits, as well as hats, shoes, and bags. The standard track series primarily features polyester jersey jackets and pants. The iconic design includes a papillon (butterfly) embroidery and side stripes, with different colored lines combined with a plain body. A velour series is also available, with pants offered in multiple silhouettes.

“REBUILD by NEEDLES” is a line that reconstructs mass-produced clothing that is difficult to utilize today, reviving it into new garments.

The brand is expanding its reach through collaborations with artists active worldwide and appearances at global festivals.

The Make Happy Studio

Debuted in July 2025.

The Make Happy Studio was launched by Taisuke Sawamura, who has worked on GARDEN and WAREKORE, with Daisuke Yokoyama of Sasquatchfabrix. as an external creative partner.

Based on the belief that “Creation is Happy,” the studio aims to create opportunities for small happiness in life through tangible and intangible things that can be used, gifted, and talked about, transcending the boundaries of clothing, food, and housing.

Beauty is born only when it is used.

Happiness grows as it passes through people’s hands.

Creating. Using. Touching by hand.

True “happiness” resides in each of these activities.

Everyday tools. Traces of hands. Small gifts.

They adorn the day with nameless beauty, making it irreplaceable.

Creation is Happy.

The joy of creating things is a small light that illuminates life.

Therefore, we want to create much happiness and deliver much happiness.

Happiness circulates. And it illuminates someone else.
