Heritage in every square
Our iconic check patterns
The check pattern has long been a cultural symbol, cutting across trends, subcultures, and generations. To us, it’s a historical cornerstone, a motif that runs deep through our heritage. It all began with the iconic Buffalo Check, a bold red-and-black plaid that set the tone for our legacy. But that was just the beginning: since then, we’ve woven those squares into the fabric of our identity.
While Buffalo Check became an icon, our journey with checks didn’t stop there. We’ve reinterpreted them in countless ways: from macro to micro patterns, structured to deconstructed designs, in vivid hues or soft pastels. Each version tells a story of evolution, where craftsmanship meets experimentation and heritage becomes a canvas for renewal. A timeless symbol, continually reimagined.
