The consumers’ brand awareness of Edwin arguably exceeds the sales figures. It’s still a niche brand but with a huge potential that speaks to denim connoisseurs and fashion trendsetters as well as family dads. Vintage (also frequently mistakenly referred to as Overworks Factory) is Edwin’s top tier heritage denim line and it’s strictly aimed at hardcore denimheads.

The detailing is second to none, and the quality of the fabrics and handcraft put into these products is unbelievable. This report will mainly feature pictures from the Edwin stand at the fair as I later this spring will visit Edwin in their European headquarters to do a full review of the collection and the brand.
