It was started when Phillip Lim and his co-founder Wen Zhou were both aged 31 years old, hence the name.

His brand’s raison d’être is providing beautiful everyday classics accented with a touch of madness. The result – cool, easy, chic looks for men and women that embody youthful elegance and personal style.

The company’s vanguard vision of designer clothing, accessories, and footwear at a contemporary price point opened up the once dormant entry-level designer market. 3.1 Phillip Lim has established itself as a respected business model and is seen as a pioneering force in the industry.

The brand is available at 3.1 Phillip Lim and in over 400 luxury boutiques and department stores across 50 countries. You can also find his clothing, bags, and shoes at Farfetch and Shopbop.

Flagship stores are located in New York, Los Angeles, Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
