EDWIN

Founded in Japan in 1947 by Tsunemi Yonehachi, EDWIN began by importing vintage American denim during the postwar era. What started as admiration quickly evolved into innovation, as the brand moved into its own production—driven by a desire to refine and reinterpret denim through Japanese precision.

The Art of Japanese Craftsmanship
EDWIN became known for its technical experimentation, from pioneering stone washing techniques to developing exclusive selvage fabrics. Authenticity, fabric integrity, and construction remain central, positioning the brand as a key player in global denim culture.

A Dialogue Between Japan and the World
While rooted in Japanese heritage, EDWIN carries a strong international perspective. Influenced by music, art, skateboarding, and street culture, the collections merge traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary European attitude—clean, expressive, and understated.

Responsibility Through Innovation
EDWIN approaches responsibility through durable design and evolving production methods. Focus on quality construction, reduced water usage in denim processing, and long-wear philosophy support a more conscious approach to manufacturing.
