Natori is a high-end fashion brand founded in 1977 by Josie Natori in her native Philippines. Originally, its focus was on design and manufacturing nightwear, loungewear and lingerie, but the company has branched out into other women’s ready-to-wear fashion, as well as perfume, jewelry and home textiles. Its various lines are sold in upscale department stores in the US and internationally.
The company has remained family owned, with Josie’s son Ken serving as President since 2007. Headquartered in New York City, most items in the Natori collections are manufactured in their own factory, based in the Philippines. Natori is one of the fashion brands leading the way in sustainability, committed to using low-impact, environmentally sensitive production methods, as well as exploring the use of recycled materials.
