EDWIN VINTAGE - ESTABLISHED 1947, TOKYO, JAPAN
Edwin – an anagram of D, E, N, I, M (reversing the M creating a W) was founded in Tokyo, by Mr Tsunemi, 1947 in response to the expensive and poor quality denim domestically available in Japan at the time. Driven to create his own denims, Mr Tsunemi placed emphasis on sophistication in fits, washes and quality and from this point on quality, craftsmanship, innovation and integrity have been fundamental to the identity and aesthetic of the Edwin brand.
In the 1990’s Edwin created the ‘new vintage’ denim concept, which encompasses the subtle beauty of hand replicating vintage washes from archive references pre-dating 1947. Made in Japan from red selvage denim, all wear and detailing is done by hand and each style is limited to 150 pairs worldwide.
