What Human Made does

Tokyo streetwear brand founded by designer NIGO, selling vintage-Americana-inspired apparel, accessories and homeware.

Sells through its own stores and online shop and a smaller number of wholesale stockists, releasing limited runs that often sell out, so brand heat rather than discounting supports prices. Collaborations with other brands and artists are a recurring way to reach new buyers.

In one line: A Japanese Supreme, founded by the creator of BAPE.
