18 East

18 East is a New York-based menswear brand, founded in 2017 by Antonio Ciongoli. The brand is distinguished by its deep commitment to global artisanal craftsmanship, drawing significant inspiration from traditional garment-making techniques found in countries like India, Nepal, and Japan. It prioritizes quality over quantity, producing limited runs of clothing that blend vintage outdoor gear and skateboarding culture with utilitarian silhouettes. The brand's aesthetic is further defined by its use of natural, often hand-dyed fabrics and a focus on creating well-made, soulful pieces that resonate with a conscious consumer.
