Area 51

Rooted from the original New York-based Nautica apparel brand, Nautica Japan stays true to Nautica’s marine elements, the ethos of the brand since its inception, while not limiting its identity to just sailing and the 80’s-90’s NY streets. The brand’s collections set itself apart from the original sportswear label with throwback silhouettes, baggy cuts, and retro-inspired graphics catered to the Japanese market.

Nudie Jeans are a Swedish denim brand based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Since they began in 2001 Nudie Jeans have followed the same agenda; to produce their garments in the most fair and sustainable way possible. With the use of only high quality fabrics and top class sewing Nudie Jeans are made with 100% organic cotton, no pesticides and no harmful chemicals. And, they’re designed to be worn – a lot. Fortunately, every pair of Nudie Jeans comes with a promise of free repairs, no matter where you go with from.

One of the first brands to find its home under the Nepenthes umbrella, Keizo Shimizu’s label Needles menswear debuted in 1997, and remains one of the most renowned Japanese labels to this day. A unique marriage of casual Americana aesthetics and traditional Japanese tailoring features that has made Needles a globally recognised name. 

Assembly Label was born from a desire to create well-made products that embody the relaxed, Australian coastal lifestyle. Reflecting an appreciation for minimalist design, their collections are clean and considered, favouring high-quality materials and refined detail over adornment.
