On October 14, 2026 (Wednesday), Alpen Co., Ltd. announced the fall/winter women's knit collection of its private brand "TIGORA." The collection has been on sale in stages since late September, and the ribbed crew neck sweater goes on sale in late October.
Three pieces with different looks are offered: a fine-gauge sweater, a ribbed knit with a three-dimensional texture, and a cardigan in melange yarn with depth of color. The company suggests ways to wear them in everyday outfits, from a casual look with simple bottoms to pairing them with a dress or shirt.
The machine-washable crew neck sweater comes in 6 colors
The "Washable Knit Crew Neck Sweater" is a machine-washable knit made of 100% polyester. It is designed with anti-static yarn to reduce clinging and the discomfort of static electricity. The company describes it as a product made of a material that resists shrinking and dries easily, and can be worn like a sweatshirt.
The six colors are dark brown, olive yellow, pale blue, cherry pink, light beige and black. It comes in four sizes, S, M, L and XL, at ¥2,999 (tax included).
A ribbed sweater on sale in late October, and a cardigan in melange yarn
The "Ribbed Crew Neck Sweater" is characterized by a chunky, three-dimensional look created by half-cardigan ribbing. It is also 100% polyester and has an anti-static function.
The five colors are cocoa, dark blue, rose, off-white and gray. It comes in four sizes, S, M, L and XL, at ¥3,999 (tax included), and is scheduled to go on sale in late October.
The "Knit Cardigan" is made with melange yarn that produces a mottled pattern and a depth of color. Anti-static yarn is used in the areas where static electricity tends to build up. The company suggests it as an item that works both as a light outer layer when going out and as a layer to throw on indoors.
It comes in three colors, grayish pink, light beige and gray, in sizes M and L, at ¥4,999 (tax included). Its open-front shape, different from the two sweaters, lets you choose how to layer.
