About

A basque modernism clothing brand, Loreak Mendian remains faithful to itself; we have been able to grow, develop and explore our universe, which is built on the four pillars of our creative map:

Basque roots, arts, music and surf.

Timelessness of classics is a big reference for Loreak Mendian’s collections for men and women, which reveal a taste for vintage aesthetics, pure shapes, functional clothes and well-done things.

Loreak Mendian is a restlessly inquiring brand, still capable of appreciating and valuing human inventiveness. A brave brand, fearless of others’ creativity. We are always looking for synergies with other artists, regardless of the disciplines involved; the result will always be an enriching episode.

Collections

Every six months we undertake a creative process in which we distil every idea until we reach the essence, always bearing in mind our four cornerstones,Basque roots, Arts, Music and Surf.

Every collection tries to meet a double demand: they must be modern and timeless at the same time.

Loreak Mendian’s collections for girls de�ne their aesthetics with a certain nod towards vintage looks. Boys’ collections aim at reinventing the classics – marine wear, military chic, British style…

And �nally, prints give us a chance to develop our graphic skills to the max.

Loreak Mendian’s customers want to decide by themselves what they wear, regardless of trends that may have nothing to do with them, and they share with us a certain awareness of diverse artistic and cultural expressions.

Capsule Collections

Every season, Loreak Mendian takes a concept from any given culture, and decontextualizes it. We take it apart until we reach the essence, and then we transform it into a mini-collection. Ordinary objects from the Basque landscape and folklore: French-Basque tablecloths, fabrics used by �shermen or patterns taken from regional dances… all these things can be examined with new eyes and turned into clothes.

These Capsule Collections are available in worldwide famous reference stores such as Colette, in Paris.

Points of Sale

In 1995 Loreak Mendian opened its �rst store on the docks of San Sebastian. This gesture reveals a de�nite business strategy: nowadays Loreak Mendian is a local project open to the world.

Our collections can be found in some of the best shops in every main European country (Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Russia, etc.), in Australia, Japan…

Graphic Applications

Graphic are the essence of Loreak Mendian. A piece of graphic design was the creative starting point of what the brand is today. Throughout the years, this discipline has grown and today we are the ones who integrate every process needed to market our products. Loreak Mendian is currently a highly reputed reference in the Spanish design scene.

Product Collaborations

Loreak Mendian’s creative ability does not just come from itself, but also from the respect and appreciation

we feel towards other people’s work. We could cite a long list of brands whose products

and history we admire. Throughout the years we have been lucky enough to collaborate with such

internationally renowned names as Vans, Camper, Stua, Boinas Eloségui or Manhattan Portage.

Graphic Collaborations

We get involved, along with our graphic team, in projects far removed from traditional sponsoring. This always stimulates our creative vein. Loreak Mendian has been responsible for the graphic development of, among others, Sur�lm Festibal and Kutxa Kultur; the merchandising of bands in the international music scene such as Sigur Ros and world famous venues like Barcelona’s Apolo; surf festivals like the Salinas Longboard Festival and local projects like JAI ALAI.
