Junk de Luxe T-Shirts, Trousers, Jumpers and Jackets first hit the shelves in 1996, but the Junk De Luxe design goes way back to the 1980s with the opening on the first store. Back then Thomas Gundorph, founder of Junk De Luxe was one of the first in Europe to import second hand Levi's from the US. He re-designed them and traded them, along with other second hand items under the brand name Junk De Luxe.
