Founded in Tokyo by Ryo Takashima, Clesste is a Japanese label built around the principle of 'less but better.' The brand works directly with craftsmen and manufacturers across Japan to produce timeless, high-quality clothing that pushes back against the short cycles and overproduction of modern fashion.
The collection is genderless, seasonless and sizeless by design, with a permanent line of pieces intended to be worn for years rather than seasons. Clesste connects Japan's traditional craftsmanship and material expertise with a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic, sharing a world class sense of beauty and a delicate, considered approach to construction.
Every piece is made in Japan using carefully selected fabrics, with production based on order and appropriate quantity manufacturing to avoid waste. The result is a wardrobe of refined, durable essentials with knitwear, shirting, tailoring and outerwear, designed for a  slow and intentional consumption and built to last.
