CHEAP MONDAY

Just a few years ago, Örjan Andersson was on his knees on the floor of the small warehouse space in the back of his store surrounded by screen printing frames, stained with paint, hand printing his own shirts and jeans – which, by the way, he still does.

The jeans and clothes from his own brand Cheap Monday are still homemade. The difference today is that they sell great numbers, challenge the most trendy brands in the jeans business, were nominated in the category for ”best jeans design” in Elle magazine, and are now are being launched in the, “oh so posh”, stores around Europe. After being a blue-collar man in the store of a clothing company for ten years Örjan started his own small shop. Weekend was somewhat a hobby project and, as the name suggests, it was only opened during the weekends. The range focused mainly on jeans and t-shirts and had a distinct rocky, American style to it. A few years later, in 2002, it was time for the second store, Weekday, to open up the doors.
