utopia

Founded in 2018 in Los Angeles, Utopia (often styled as Utopia by Peder Cho) is an avant-garde upcycling label that transforms vintage textiles and luxury remnants into one-of-a-kind streetwear. The brand is the brainchild of Peder Cho, a former accountant who left the corporate finance world to pursue design, teaching himself to sew and quickly gaining a viral following on TikTok for his energetic, process-driven videos. Cho’s work is defined by a playful yet functional approach to reconstruction, turning unexpected materials—from old Louis Vuitton bags and heavy sleeping bags to vintage sports jerseys—into structural puff vests, woven handbags, and oversized outerwear.
