ABOUT ODAKHA
ODAKHA is a women's wear brand specializing in knitwear, founded in 2014 by designer Mari Odaka under the concept of “Toughness and Softness”. ODAKHA develops made-in-Japan collections, inheriting the exquisite knitting techniques and handiwork of craftsmen that Japan prides itself on. Taking advantage of the flexibility of knitwear and its ability to change from strength to toughness depending on the technique, the brand expresses a world view that combines strength and softness, which is the brand's philosophy.
