Collaboration with Japanese private label Warehouse

Granted has collaborated with Japanese private label brand called Warehouse.

Warehouse is famous for their collaboration with the Lee jeans brand and their contemporary American work wear style. Warehouse is currently sold in their private stores all over Japan ( 8 locations in total).

Our collaboration incorporates their vintage taste while still keeping with the Granted look. The shop staff at Warehouse have put their own styling with these great looking hand-knit sweaters. Here's their stylish website and blog.

Toruman wears our sweater!

Toruman is an independent song writer/musician/lifeguard, born and raised in Japan. He writes most of his music in his lifeguard tower while watching over people on the beaches of Atami. Some of his songs are played through the speakers on the beach, where a record company executive heard his music and the rest is history.

His musical inspirations come from his experiences traveling around the world and his love of the mellow surf lifestyle.

You might be able to catch him out on the waves of Atami, Japan, or it just might be easier to catch him here.
