COMOLI and L'ECHOPPE have accomplished a painstaking job of staying true to the basics and being extremely honest.
They have produced a number of collaborations that have tickled our appetites time and again, and we applaud them for it.
The strong unity and flexible imagination of Mr. Kaneko, the buyer of "Reshop" who used to travel abroad with Mr. Komori, the designer of "Komori", resulted in a gem that could become a vintage item.
The source of the image is vintage French denim work pants found at flea markets in France. The key to this work is that they are "as seen at flea markets in France.
The fabric developed by "KOMORI" is processed with advanced technology to create a pair that looks as if it has been worn many times and aged for a long time. Nostalgic, yet modern.

Not only the texture and silhouette, but also the detail work such as the cinch back is superb.
These pants are the first in a series called the "Flea Market Series. They are planning to release a set-up and a coat in the future. The clever thing about "Reshop" and "Komori" is that they don't stop with one-off items. They are doing a great job.
