Originally launched in 2002 as the men's line of French denim house Le Temps des Cerises, Japan Rags was born from a family passion for vintage Americana in Marseille. Founders Gil and Lylian Richardière channeled their experience from their vintage clothing shop into creating a brand focused on expertly aged denim inspired by Japanese textile culture. After being absorbed into the parent company in 2016, Japan Rags was officially relaunched in early 2024 with a renewed vision.
