Evisu was founded in Osaka Japan in 1991 and is named after the Japanese God of prosperity Ebisu. Initially only around 14 pairs of jeans a day were created, each one hand-painted with the now famous seagull logo. Evisu captured the imagination of the detail-obsessed Japanese fashion crowd and spurred a revival of interest in vintage denim which spread around the world. Today Evisu has gained critical acclaim, as one of the ultimate denim must haves, is internationally know and embraced by both collectors and hipsters alike.
