It just feels right. Southern Europe moves slowly, dresses easy, and values comfort as much as style, and that is exactly the spirit monpe pants were born from, half a world away.
Tracing their roots to rural Japan in the Edo period in the 17th century, the simple attributes of monpe pants have kept resurfacing at different moments in Japanese history, as a timeless garment.
The loose fit and distinctive wrap-around style allow for ease of movement during various tasks, and centuries later, that same ease has found a new home in Lisbon, worn the same way it always was, without effort and without asking permission.
We started here, and plan to stay. Downtown Lisbon has become our home, right in the heart of the city. It’s also our only physical store, the one place where you can see every colour we make, all hanging side by side, with no screen in between.
Our basic pants draw from Japanese tradition, but they’ve found a natural home in the relaxed rhythm of southern Europe. If you’re visiting Lisbon, come see the full range, try them on, and feel why they belong here.
