The origin story of this jacket starts in Little Tokyo, at the historic Suehiro Cafe. When Suehiro was forced to leave its original location — a space that had held decades of memories — they left behind more than a physical address. Among the remnants was a weathered noren (Japanese fabric divider) that had hung in their doorway for years. Rather than letting it fade into the past, we transformed it into a one-of-a-kind bomber jacket — the very first prototype in what would become a journey of culture meeting community.

Love sees all truth. The truth is,
You are enough. Even when you can't see it for yourself.

“Our pieces are inspired to share our community from its roots. At first you might think the designs are cool. But when you learn about the details in the design you realize you’re representing something much bigger. For us STORYTELLING is as much of a focus of a streetwear brand as the layering and bold graphics and upcycling techniques we’re introducing that make UPRISERS® one of a kind.”
— Michelle K. Hanabusa, Founder and Creative Director of UPRISERS®
