30 years ago in Oakland, CA it all started with Harputs adidas, selling adidas sneakers and merchandise. it has since transitioned. a couple of times. the first phase was the emergence of Harputs Market, stocking hard to find designers such as Martin Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto, and Stephan Schneider. it became apparent that it was the right time to begin making quality garments of their own; thus, Harputs Own came to light.
"We take a pragmatic approach to design, concentrating on the development of select "generic" garments (a shift dress, sweater, overall) as statement pieces. Our creative process leans on curiosity and experimentation in conjunction with the various influences that inform our work: how each garment ages, how our customers react, and what new fabric we find... Ultimately, we aim to make easy clothing that can be worn multiple ways, accentuate many different body types, and last several seasons." -Harputs
