Founded in 2017 by its namesake designer, Taiga Takahashi, the brand operates between Japan and the United States, deeply rooted in a philosophy that transcends contemporary fashion cycles. Takahashi, who apprenticed under esteemed vintage collector and designer Nigel Cabourn, developed a profound respect for historical garments and authentic craftsmanship. His label is celebrated for meticulously recreating vintage workwear and military clothing from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often sourced from his vast personal archive. Each piece reflects an obsessive attention to detail, using period-correct construction techniques, natural dyeing processes, and custom-developed fabrics that age beautifully over time. Taiga Takahashi's work is a testament to the enduring beauty of garments made with integrity, aiming to create "future vintage" that tells its own story.
