THE BIRTH OF LVW

THE BIRTH OF LVW

LVW is a brand that was founded in 2020 by Levy van Wilgen. Although, it was founded in 2020, the first designs and samples were made in 2018. For those who might not know, the brand was originally released by Levy as a small-scale merchandise for his fans. After he received very good feedback from them, he changed his mind and decided to invest further in his brand, so it could grow to bigger heights. Levy traveled through Europe for a few years looking for the best factories and most sustainable high quality fabrics. With his creativity and vision, LVW has grown into a premium men's underwear brand that sold out all of its collections in 2023.

Sustainability

We hold high value for our planet, therefore we promise you that at least 90% of our inventory is sustainabile with an aim to bring that number up with 2.5% each year.
