About TCG

TCG is an emerging sustainability brand grounded in scientific research and material innovation. Our mission is to provide stylish, well-designed, and reasonably priced sustainable clothing to consumers who are looking for a better alternative. We hope to bring new materials, new processes, and new ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace.

We currently operate retail stores in Hong Kong and are expanding across Japan and East Asia. Our goal is to become a leading regional omni-channel brand. In Japan, our small but highly experienced startup team includes suppliers, designers, and operations professionals from across Asia. We have launched several pop-ups in Tokyo and are preparing to open additional stores — including a flagship location — in the coming months.

TCG is now seeking Sales Associates to join our growing retail team in Japan and help deliver a best-in-class customer experience.
