The AG Adriano Goldschmied brand, founded in 2000, partnered long-time denim guru, Adriano Goldschmied, and the industry leader in quality and innovative jean manufacturing, Yul Ku, of Koos Manufacturing in South Gate, CA. Starting out as a small boutique line the first couple of years, AG has grown steadily the last four years, doubling its sales in each of the past three years.

In the fall of 2004, Adriano and Mr. Ku mutually decided to end their association, and Adriano left his namesake company to venture out on his own. Mr. Ku, seeing the opportunity to expand upon the AG brand, decided to create a team of innovative and young designers and merchandisers, who would work together in a think tank type of environment. The AG team is dedicated to continued development of the brand with the utmost attention to detail and quality, and a commitment to the made in the U.S.A. label.

The beginning of the collection starts with inspiration from vintage jeans. Extensive research on fabrics, styling, authentic details, and true vintage washes are the base of our development process. Flea markets and vintage shops are searched all over the world, from LA, NY, Tokyo, London, Paris, Stockholm, in order to find the right inspiration.
