About the original
SOUTH2 WEST8 is a Tokyo outdoor label founded in 2002 by Keizo Shimizu under Nepenthes, built around fishing, hunting, and functional camp gear. The heavy-mesh sacoche is one of the brand's recurring silhouettes — a small crossbody in heavyweight polyester mesh with a velcro flap, adjustable strap, and D-ring tabs, descended from traditional Japanese tenkara game bags. Current S2W8 Sacoche – Heavy Mesh releases at Nepenthes retail for $195 in rotating prints. The SS21 Supreme version is a co-branded colorway in black with a repeating Supreme/SOUTH2 WEST8 logo print — the pattern is exclusive to the collab. Released April 22, 2021 at $78.
About SOUTH2 WEST8
SOUTH2 WEST8 is a Japanese outdoor apparel label founded in 2002 by Kaname Nagaoka in Sapporo, Japan. The brand name comes from the address of Nagaoka's original Sapporo retail shop, located at South 2, West 8. A lifelong Tenkara fly-fishing enthusiast from Kyoto, Nagaoka built the line around technical fishing and outdoor wear filtered through a Heavy Duty Ivy aesthetic, using camouflage prints, ripstop nylon, and 6-panel jet caps. SOUTH2 WEST8 is part of the Nepenthes group, the Tokyo distribution and design house founded by Keizo Shimizu that also operates Engineered Garments. Supreme has collaborated with SOUTH2 WEST8 on a co-branded fishing-inspired apparel capsule.
