CDLP is a Stockholm-based design house specializing in luxury essentials. Its aesthetic emphasizes architectural minimalism and cinematic visual storytelling. The brand represents a subculture of conscious consumption, prioritizing sustainable materials like lyocell over traditional cotton to redefine masculine intimacy through a refined, understated lens.
History
Founded in 2016 by Christian Larson and Andreas Palm, CDLP emerged from a desire to elevate men’s undergarments to the standards of high fashion. Larson’s background in film influenced the brand’s distinct visual identity. Historically, the label contributed to the shift toward sustainable luxury by utilizing closed-loop fibers. It gained cultural significance for its collaboration with diverse artists and its role in moving men’s basics away from mass-market branding toward artisanal craftsmanship.
