History
Founded in 1947 by K.K. Tsunemi, Edwin initially imported used American denim to Japan. In 1961, the company produced the first pair of domestically made Japanese jeans. The brand developed the stone wash technique in the 1980s, which influenced global denim finishing processes. Edwin's history reflects the transition of Japanese manufacturing from importing Western goods to producing specialized textile exports.
