What to know about DAIWA PIER39
DAIWA PIER39 is the city-facing apparel line of Japanese fishing brand DAIWA, designed by Shinsuke Nakata, a former BEAMS PLUS director. Launched for the spring/summer 2020 season, it works from a concept of bridging nature and the city, reworking fishing and military garments into loose, technical urban clothing.

It sells through Japanese retailers and international stockists such as HBX and NUBIAN.
