addict clothes
everyone has something that drives him. for satoshi ishijima, head of the japanese label addict clothes, it is the perfect patina. the way the first traces of usage are immortalized deep inside the leather of a motorcycle jacket, or how the colour of a zipper slowly fades due to weather influences. satoshi leaves nothing to chance. because he knows a lot about patina. the label started with the trade of old english motorcycles and the matching vintage motorcycle jackets. if you were looking for a belstaff roadmaster from the 70s with original harrods tags, then addict clothes was the right address. but satoshi didn't just want to pass on vintage treasures, he wanted to create something new. something that is contemporary and yet has the potential to be valued and passed on as vintage at some point. under the term "new vintage" addict clothes manufactures leather jackets, boots and much more handcrafts with an inimitable dedication to perfection.
