Brand History
Swedish designer Orjan Andersson spent many years at Lee before leaving to start his own cult brand. Cheap Monday began as something of a cottage industry. Only a couple of years ago, Örjan Andersson was on his knees on the floor of the small warehouse space in the back of his store (Weekday), hand printing his own shirts and jeans (something he still does). Indeed, the jeans and clothes from Cheap Monday are still homemade, the difference being that today they sell in large numbers, challenge the most trendy brands in the jeans business and have even been nominated "best jeans design" by Elle magazine.
