About JANKS
JANKS was founded in 2010 in Barcelona, Spain, by a group of young entrepreneurs passionate about contemporary design and innovation in fashion. The idea emerged in a university setting, where its founders realised the lack of options in the market that combined urban style with economic accessibility. From the outset, JANKS focused on creating a brand that reflected youth culture and the values of authenticity and personal expression.
In its early years, the brand began producing t-shirts and sweatshirts with distinctive graphics and messages that resonated with young people. A key aspect of its early success was the use of sustainable materials, something that became a priority as environmental awareness grew among consumers. This approach allowed JANKS to stand out in an increasingly saturated market.
As the brand gained popularity, it expanded its product line to include accessories and footwear, always maintaining the same ethos of fresh and accessible design. In 2015, JANKS launched its first international collection, marking a significant milestone in its history and enabling it to reach new markets in Europe and Latin America.
The year 2020 was a crucial moment for the brand, as it decided to adopt fully digital practices, creating an online store that facilitated access to its products during the pandemic. This move not only boosted its sales but also allowed it to connect with a global audience.
Today, JANKS has established itself as a recognised brand in the urban fashion scene, maintaining its commitment to sustainability and innovation while continuing to look towards the future in a constantly changing world.
