A journey to source one of the
most luxurious materials in the world.

The Incas believed the Vicuña animals were reincarnations
of young maidens rewarded with a coat of pure gold in
return for giving life to their civilisation.

They called it “The Gold of The Andes”.

The Story of The Inoue Brothers

The Inoue Brothers was founded in 2004 by two brothers, Satoru and Kiyoshi Inoue - born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Focusing on fashion the brand has been developed through uncompromising ideals yet total openness of perspective, which has enabled the brand to establish strong bonds with various indigenous communities rich in heritage, culture and craft.

With every project, the aim is to create awareness of responsible production methods through quality and design. Until today TIB have enjoyed collaborations with names such as Comme des Garçons, Monocle, Dover Street Market, General Research, Sasquatch Fabrix, Gazelle and Nicholas taylor.

The family business is operated by the brothers and Ulla, Satoru’s wife.
