We’re thrilled to welcome Japanese label Prequel to Wardrobe 19.
We first discovered Prequel at a tradeshow in Berlin a few seasons back, where their shirts immediately stood out for their extraordinary fabrics—some of the finest we've ever come across.
It was a clear decision: we had to bring them to Copenhagen.
Naturally, Prequel hails from Japan 🇯🇵Their shirt-making craft is rooted in deep history, drawing inspiration from a rare 1907 fabric sample book by Claude Fréres (J. & Co., Paris).
With microscopic attention to detail, Prequel revives these vintage textiles, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens.

Introducing a jacquard stripe shirt with a richly textured, rustic feel.
This shirt is made from double-beam jacquard woven fabric, faithfully recreated from a 1907 French archival document.
The contrast between the natural and navy threads creates a bold yet beautiful design with a strong character.
Additionally, the shirt incorporates design elements from 1930s French long point shirts, resulting in a piece that is both classical and distinctive in its presence.
