Overview

Labrador Retriever is a Japanese fashion brand and import select shop launched by Shinichi Nakasone in Harajuku, Tokyo, in September 1988. It offers items purchased from across the United States as well as original products featuring Labrador Retrievers as motifs. Against the backdrop of a longing for a lifestyle shared with dogs, its offerings include clothing, bags, hats, miscellaneous goods, and dog goods. After putting the brand on hiatus in 2008, it began a new rollout in 2016. Nakasone has experience as a casualwear designer and has been responsible for planning original products and managing the brand.

Within the parent brand’s brand family, it is positioned as a derivative line specializing in city wear and walking wear.

LABRA is an American casual brand launched under a distinct name within the Labrador Retriever brand family. The official blog described it as part of the Labrador Retriever “family” of brands, offering everyday apparel and goods intended for family outings. While the parent brand focused on an import select shop and a lifestyle concept featuring dog motifs, LABRA was positioned as a derivative line with a more casual product range aimed at a broader audience. The LABRA trademark was filed by the company that operates Labrador Retriever, indicating that it was treated as an independent brand name rather than merely a product category or store name.
