Edwin Arthur’s was founded by Helen Wade, owner of the Stockist in Salt Lake City, and managed by her
brother Ian Wade who is based in Tokyo.
Ian began exploring production management with factories across Japan in a variety of specialities from
yarn production, cut & sew, knitting mills, and natural dye workshops. As the connections were being
formed Helen and Ian decided to pursue developing a brand that could express the unique character that
comes with making products in Japan.
