Hill Crop - The cool clothing

These are actual tags affixed to clothing being sold in a Japanese store. The hard-to-read tag is made of cloth, and is sewn into the clothing itself. The more legible one is a paper tag affixed to the clothing.
As always, the alphabetic characters are used more as design elements than to convey any kind of information.
Actually, that makes perfect sense… if you’re a copy of Adobe Illustrator. It obviously started life as a software glitch, but did they fail to notice, or decide they liked it better this way?

If I were presented with some string of hiragana and kanji characters on a label like that, I wouldn’t be able to tell you if they were washing instructions or error messages from a computer program.
