ORIGINAL PAPERBACKS

Our mission at Original Paperbacks is to bring high quality and creative clothing to the world that fulfills the casual lifestyle needs of our customers. Our goal is to always create and sell product that we genuinely love. We are careful to craft each garment with a unique personality of color only possible from our expertise in washing and dying. The story of our garments begins at headquarters choosing fabric, and continues throughout our dye house as we hand craft colors to dye garments from start to finish.

We pride ourselves on the hand feel of our garments, so we take special consideration when picking fabric for each style. From our best-selling stretch Bedford corduroy to our newest cotton fleece fabric, we select fabric for its durability, quality, and reaction to dying techniques.

Our clothing is hand dyed here in Los Angeles, CA at our very own dye house. We believe that garment dying is both a craft and an art. Countless risks and variables in the dying process contribute to the achievement of the rugged, worn-in look of pigment dying, or the classic clean look of reactive dying. Each process lends its own well-balanced characteristics, and complements the brand’s “under-designed” sensibility.
