Needles

One of the first brands under the Nepenthes umbrella, Needles is designed by Keizo Shimizu. Inspired by his love and admiration of American made product and film, the label explores the juxtapositions of American and Japanese shapes and fabrics. Needles was conceived in 1988, Rebuild by Needles in 2012 and all garments are produced in Japan.
