Self Edge opened three years ago in the Mission District of San Francisco with the vision of creating an otaku retail store dedicated to vintage style denim and workwear produced by the Japanese.  After three adventurous years between San Francisco and Japan they’re proud to announce the expansion to New York City.  The new location is in the Lower East Side and it will be offering most of the same brands as Self Edge San Francisco and within a few weeks adding Joe McCoy’s and Ande Whall to both stores.

Self Edge New York will be opening on July 24th with an opening party to follow in August. New unreleased stock and restocks of popular items will be available at SENY including a Self Edge New York exclusive hand-screened bandanna by Mister Freedom himself, Christophe Loiron.

Helping with Levi’s 10th Anniversary festivities, the brand has created some limited edition denim from their archives of popular cuts.  Pictured is the ‘Hand Painted Denim’, a limited set of 99 pieces based on the ’First Standard’ fit in 1999 that is an innovative mix of hemp and cotton with a close green selvage finish and gold buttons made from 18 carat gold, straight from the original molds.  The unique factor is that each piece has been hand painted with bright colors and is folded into special celebration packaging.
