Women’s heritage clothing designed to last
We started stocking women’s Japanese denim and heritage clothing because the same people who appreciate our men's clothing kept asking if we had anything for their partners, friends, or themselves. So we brought in a curated women's collection from the brands we trust most.
Every piece in this collection comes from independent makers and heritage brands, produced in small batches. We work with respected makers from Japan, North America, and Europe who continue to produce clothing using traditional techniques that are becoming increasingly rare.
Studio D'Artisan has helped shape Japanese denim for decades through traditional weaving and meticulous construction. Indigofera blends a minimalist design with premium fabrics inspired by vintage workwear, while American-made Imogene + Willie produces thoughtfully made denim that balances classic styling with modern fits. TCB recreates historical workwear using vintage-inspired patterns and obsessive attention to detail.
From premium women’s selvedge denim to carefully woven work shirts and heritage outerwear, our collection reflects a commitment to buying less, choosing better, and wearing your clothing for years rather than seasons.
FAQ
What brands are available in the women's collection?
We carry a curated selection of heritage and independent brands, including Studio D'Artisan, Indigofera, Imogene + Willie, and TCB at Private & Co.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizing varies between garments and brands, especially with Japanese denim. We recommend comparing your measurements to the garment measurements provided or contacting us before ordering. We're happy to help compare measurements so you can choose the right fit the first time.
How do I care for women’s selvedge denim?
Wear them often. Hold off on washing for the first few months to let the fades develop where you naturally crease. When it's time to wash, turn the jeans inside out, use cold water with a minimal detergent, and hang them to air dry. Do not put them in the dryer. Read our denim care tips.
