Geschiedenis
Founded in 1981 by the parent company Domingo Co., Ltd., Spellbound emerged during the rise of the Okayama denim industry. The brand played a significant role in establishing the global reputation of Japanese selvedge denim through its commitment to shuttle loom weaving and indigo dyeing processes. Historically, it contributed to the preservation of mid-century American workwear silhouettes while integrating Japanese textile innovations. The brand remains a foundational entity within the Kojima garment manufacturing district.
