Sejarah
Established in 2008 by Yoon Hyung-seok, Covernat emerged during the initial rise of South Korean domestic streetwear. The brand name is a portmanteau of 'Cover' and 'Need Needle and Thread.' It played a central role in popularizing the 'Amekaji' style in Seoul, bridging the gap between traditional American heritage clothing and contemporary East Asian street culture. Its longevity marks it as a foundational entity in the modern Korean fashion industry.
