Nepenthes is the Japanese company whose brand umbrella contains South2West8, Engineered Garments, Needles, and other cult labels. About two years ago, they took over an old sewing shop near their U.S. headquarters and fashioned it into a combination boutique and art gallery. Besides offering their own quality clothing and accessories, they also have a good selection of magazines, small goods, and a rotating pop-up shop that has hosted Mark McNairy, Takahiro Miyashita’s TheSoloist, Perfecto Brand by Schott, and most recently, Batten Sportswear.
