Overview

MACKINTOSH is an outerwear brand that began in Scotland in 1824. It developed around the production of coats made from “rubberized” material, using rubber, following chemist Charles Mackintosh’s invention of a method for waterproofing cotton cloth. Today, the brand continues to focus on raincoats, trench coats, and jackets, citing craftsmanship, expertise in processing rubberized materials, and the continuous evolution of its designs as part of its brand DNA.

Concept

The DNA of the brand surrounds its craftsmanship, unequalled expertise in the manipulation of rubberized fabric and the constant evolution of its designs.

Sub-brands

  • MACKINTOSH PHILOSOPHY 2007

    A spin-off brand launched as a second line of MACKINTOSH. Taking into account the main line’s specialization in outerwear, it is designed as a total collection that carries forward its approach to craftsmanship and its “classic, contemporary style.” In Japan, it runs alongside the similarly derived MACKINTOSH LONDON as a pillar of licensed expansion centered on department-store channels, serving as a point of entry distinct from the original MACKINTOSH.

    Its role is to offer a comprehensive collection as a second line.

  • MACKINTOSH LONDON 2015

    A total collection line that originated as a derivative of the British outerwear brand MACKINTOSH. Building on the heritage of the brand’s signature rubberized coats and its outerwear-making DNA, it has expanded beyond outerwear to include items suited to a wide range of everyday situations. In Japan, it is developed as a licensed brand focused primarily on department stores, with sales channels separate from MACKINTOSH (the first line), and forms a derivative line alongside MACKINTOSH PHILOSOPHY.

  • MACKINTOSH 0001 2017

    A premium line announced by MACKINTOSH for Fall/Winter 2017. Designed by Kiko Kostadinov, it launched as a capsule comprising 10 unisex ready-to-wear looks. Collections are numbered by season, and, centered on material themes such as rubber for 0001 and lead for 0004, the line is positioned as an experimental offshoot that applies the parent brand’s materials and sewing techniques to ready-to-wear in a fashion context.
