Lịch sử
Kenji Kobayashi founded Auberge in 2018 after his tenure at the label Slowgun. The brand focuses on the technical reproduction of vintage garments from the 1930s through the 1950s. It holds significance in the contemporary Japanese heritage scene for its rigorous material research and collaboration with local mills. Auberge contributes to fashion history by bridging the gap between archival European functionalism and modern Japanese textile innovation.
