Overview

TROVE is a Japanese menswear brand launched in 2004 by designer Daisuke Kamide. Centered on an “earth-like masculine image” that combines tranquility, transience, and strength, it presents calm, comfortable everyday wear and officially states its concept as “Relax.” The brand began showing its collections at Tokyo Collection in 2008, and its design team has carried on the creative work since Spring/Summer 2013. It focuses on menswear and also offers lines such as 和ROBE, which incorporates elements of traditional Japanese clothing into contemporary everyday wear.

WAROBE is a Japanese clothing line launched by TROVE in 2014. Its name combines “和,” meaning Japanese style, with ROBE. It presents traditional Japanese clothing, long worn as everyday wear in Japan, as daily clothing that can be worn like Western clothes, using contemporary techniques, materials, and supplies. Its offerings include haori, hakama, yukata, hanten, and juban. While TROVE itself provides a relaxed Western-style wardrobe, WAROBE forms a distinct category centered on the structures and design of Japanese clothing. It is an ongoing line that covers TROVE’s Japanese clothing domain, distinct from A.TAKA’s basic wear and TROVERTEX’s tech wear.

A.TAKA
Clothing

A staple line focused on everyday clothing and material proposals

A.TAKA is a line of men's basic wear launched in 2015 as a staple line developed by TROVE.

A.TAKA is a line of men's basic wear launched in 2015 as a staple line developed by TROVE. While TROVE itself proposes seasonal everyday clothing centered on relaxation, A.TAKA is built around the idea of “clothes that can stay close to everyday life in any era.” It uses original fabrics woven with Flanders linen and consists of basic garments such as shirts, jackets, and pants. In contrast to WAROBE, which modernizes Japanese clothing, and TROVERTEX, which emphasizes functionality and adaptability, A.TAKA complements TROVE's everyday wear offering through its materials and basic designs.

TROVERTEX is a techwear-oriented derivative line that TROVE announced as a new brand in 2019 after revamping TROVE ACTIVE LINE, which had been released intermittently since around 2015. Centered on adaptability, combination, and transformation, it was designed as a capsule collection in which every item can be recombined or transformed, and was produced at TROVE’s own sewing factory in Gifu Prefecture. Unlike TROVE’s relaxed everyday wear, A.TAKA, which emphasizes materials and basic design, and WAROBE, which modernizes Japanese clothing, the line foregrounds functionality and versatility and serves a technology-focused role. It is currently described as being on hiatus.
