2k by Gingham originated from Japan in the early 90s when many museum and popular art design t-shirts, began to be displayed in fashion boutiques in Japan. 2K started to research such kind of shirts and began to work with new artists to develop their own style.

The design is based on searching for the latest designs, graphics, and logos from all over the world and using this as a foundation for their own line. Besides that several artists collaborate on designs with 2k. Rather than relying on mass marketing 2k sticks to the core of what they are doing and focuses on creating extraordinary artwork on high quality shirts.
