Saint Mxxxxxx

Hypebeast presents Yuta Hosokawa and Cali Thornhill DeWitt as the two people behind the brand, though it never says who founded it. It says Hosokawa launched READYMADE in 2013 and describes DeWitt as a Los Angeles-based artist who plays many roles. Hosokawa said Saint Michael is totally different from READYMADE and is a new brand. Highsnobiety refers to DeWitt's work with Kanye West.

Hosokawa lives in Osaka and DeWitt in Los Angeles, and Hosokawa said the team is only three or four people. We found no source that states who owns the company, or where it is headquartered.

HBX's Japanese brand page says Saint Michael was established in January 2020. Highsnobiety says it was unveiled in Paris in January, without naming the year in the text.

Hosokawa described the brand as vintage-like and referenced clothing from the 1940s and 1950s. He said everything is painted by hand and that some lettering is hand-drawn without a computer. On production he said it is all made in Japan, fabric included, and that the team experiments with different factories to get close to natural staining.

Highsnobiety says the distressed finish dovetails with DeWitt's religious iconography and off-the-wall punk scrawls, and names 30-thread cotton hoodies finished in a large drum tumbler and a Schott perfecto jacket. Diverse describes T-shirts, long-sleeve T-shirts, hoodies and shirts, with graphic prints placed on fabrics processed to a level comparable to real vintage items, using special sewing machines and dyes.

Hosokawa said he loves Chrome Hearts and that its business has not changed over the years, in the same breath as Levi's. The interview describes no collaboration or other link between the two brands.

We found no brand-operated store. Product pages we opened were on third-party retailers: Maxfield LA, Feature, Stadium Goods and HBX.

Checked in October 2026, none of these pages dated its price. Maxfield LA listed the Saint Love T-shirt at a sale price of $400, the Saint Means T-shirt at a sale price of $510 and an eye cap at a sale price of $390, with the currency not labelled. Feature showed the Saint Michael S/S tee in black at $390.00, sold out, with a $ sign and no currency code. Stadium Goods listed the Global Horror Saint hoodie in navy at $654 USD. HBX listed, in pounds, the Saint Logo hoodie in grey at £325, down from £458, and sold out when first checked on 8 October 2026; the page showed £319 on 9 October 2026. These are different items, retailers and currencies, so they are not a like-for-like comparison.
