NEEDLES × The Make Happy Studio / Mohair Cardigan “TMHS”

NEEDLES × The Make Happy Studio / Mohair Cardigan “TMHS”

A classic mohair cardigan featuring a crazy pattern using four types of argyle patterns in the purple base that NEEDLES has used for many years.

The incompatibility unique to crazy patterns is unified by the purple base, giving it an impression that is easy to style.

For the image visuals, we had the band “HAPPY,” who, despite having their major debut once decided, chose to stick to their indie roots, and film director Momoko Ando (older sister of Sakura Ando), both of whom we have wanted to ask for a long time, wear the items.

The design is characterized by its inspiration from 70s hippie culture.

The Make Happy Studio × NEEDLES 1st Collaboration 2026.11.13 RELEASE

Bringing a little happiness into everyday life.

Bringing NEEDLES’ free and peaceful mood into your daily life. The Make Happy Studio cherishes finding small happiness in everyday life. The first collaboration was born from the convergence of these two sentiments.

The joy of wearing your favorite clothes enriches your everyday life a little. Such small happiness connects to someone’s smile.

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

The reason they continue their work. Moments they feel happiness in their daily lives. When they feel their work or actions have connected to someone’s happiness.

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

We explore the forms of “happiness” that live in 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, cut-and-sew items, and knits, as well as hats, shoes, and bags. The standard track series primarily consists of polyester jersey jackets and pants. The symbolic designs feature a butterfly embroidery and side stripes, with different colored stripes combined with a plain body. A velour series is also available, with multiple silhouettes for the pants.

“REBUILD by NEEDLES” is a line that reconstructs clothing that was mass-produced in the past and is now difficult to utilize, bringing it back to life as new clothing.

The brand is expanding its reach through collaborations with artists active worldwide and participation in 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 WARE-KOU, 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 things and experiences 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 the hands of others.

Creating. Using. Touching by hand.

True “happiness” resides in each of these activities.

Everyday tools. Traces of hands. Small gifts.

They are adorned with nameless beauty, making today an irreplaceable day.

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 then, it illuminates someone else.
