STUDIO D’ARTISAN is a pioneering Japanese denim brand, established in 1979 by Shigeharu Tagaki. As a founding member of the “Osaka Five,” the brand played a crucial role in reviving vintage American workwear using traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Known for its meticulous attention to detail, STUDIO D’ARTISAN combines high-quality selvedge denim with unique dyeing techniques and a touch of humor in its designs.
“1970’s, the time of rapid economic growth in Japan, a wave of mass production and mass consumption permeated all the country.
This had the biggest impact in the denim industry. New denim fabrics were made by new looms as mass production instead of selvedge denim made by the original traditional old looms.
STUDIO D’ARTISAN was founded in 1979 with the aim to reproduce and continue the history of “real” jeans made with old looms from Okayama.”
StTUDIO D’ARTISAN continues to honor traditional Japanese craftsmanship while introducing innovative designs, making it a revered name among denim enthusiasts worldwide.
