Bape

Born in Tokyo's Harajuku in 1993, A Bathing Ape (commonly known as BAPE) has established itself as an icon of Japanese streetwear fashion. Over more than 29 years, the brand has been recognized as one of the most coveted global fashion labels. Founded by Nigo, an avid fan of 20th-century pop culture, BAPE is one of Japan's original streetwear brands. The BAPE name was inspired by the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, from which its iconic BAPE logo was born.
