One of the most fascinating twists in street fashion history is how Japanese youth fell in love with American pop culture in the aftermath of World War II. Amid this cultural shift, Edwin was founded in 1947, merging Japan’s exceptional craftsmanship with denim production.
Edwin pioneered key innovations that shaped modern denim fashion—it was the first to pre-wash jeans before selling them and also developed the earliest version of stone washing. It’s no exaggeration to call Edwin a true pioneer, one that has remained deeply rooted in its origins.
Now, in the 2020s, Edwin stands as both a cultural and technological leader—an iconic denim brand. Its collections showcase exclusive materials, treatments, and production methods that only Edwin can deliver.
