Born in Tokyo's Harajuku district, Gim Context is a borderless research project on knitwear. The brand unravels cultural and historical contexts to reweave them into unexpectedcontemporarypieces. Here, knitting is not a static heritage; it is a living material, perpetually reinvented.
The result is a hybrid and fascinating knitwear. From hand-stitched knitted denim jackets to laundry check jacquard blousons, each piece fuses rare technicality with a visualculture deeply rooted in the Japaneseunderground. A unisex, uncompromising wardrobe for those seeking radical originality.
About this selection
Born in Tokyo, Gim Context is the extension of Gim, a Japanese knitwear house renowned for the quality of its knits. The brand carries this savoir-faire into a freer and more experimental wardrobe, nourished by Tokyo's clothing culture, where British classics and workwear are revisited with plenty of humour and finesse.
Gim Context's DNA rests on knitwear in all its forms: knitted tweed, Fair Isle jacquard, cashmere, brushed checks and hand-stitched pieces. The designs play on subversion, such as a fully knitted trench coat or a coat whose scarf can never be lost, while maintaining exceptional comfort and build quality.
Our Gim Context selection includes the knitted tweed check trench coat and trousers, the brushed check zip-up hoodie and cropped trousers, the hand-stitched Command sweater and the Never-Lost Scarf Melton coat. Cashmere sweatshirts in orange, apple green, turquoise, red and pink, the Evaporated Fair Isle cardigan, scarf and knit cap, the Check&Check scarf and the knitted backpack complete a playful and refined wardrobe.
At Actuel B, we offer a selection of Gim Context in our boutiques in Avignon and Arles as well as on our website, with delivery in France and worldwide. Each piece is presented by teams trained in the brand's world, with the personalised advice that defines our approach to multi-brand luxury.
