Historia
Founded in 2010 by Hiroki Kishimoto under the Japan Blue Group, the brand emerged from the Collect fabric mill in Okayama. It serves as a bridge between traditional Japanese craftsmanship and global fashion markets. The label gained significance by introducing diverse cotton varieties, such as Cote d'Ivoire cotton, to the heritage denim scene. Its role in fashion history involves popularizing artisanal Japanese denim through accessible, contemporary fits while maintaining industrial production standards.
