Pepe Jeans was founded in 1973 by three brothers: Arun, Milan, and Nitin Shah.

Together, they ran a weekend stall at Portobello Road Market in London.

Later, they expanded to a store in Carnaby Street.

They eventually ran stores in multiple countries by the 1980s.

From its origins as a tiny market stall to more than half a $US billion dollar denim and casual wear brand, Pepe has transformed itself to one of the fastest growing jeanswear labels in Europe.

The brand today has a presence in more than 80 countries across the world.

Pepe Jeans was originally just a small market on the Portobello road located in West London.

The brand was named Pepe because it was a short word that could be written without much trouble.
