Jordache Enterprises, Inc. is an American clothing company that markets apparel, including shirts, jeans, and outerwear.[1] The brand is known for its designer jeans that were popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Since the 2000s, Jordache has also diversified into real estate in the United States and other ventures in Israel. The brand name Jordache is a contraction of Joe, Ralph, and Avi Nakash.
History
Jordache originated in 1978, when brothers Joe, Ralph, and Avi Nakash opened a denim store in New York City.[1][2] Inspired by European fashions, the brothers had developed a collection. Business expanded over the years, until a fire destroyed their inventory during the New York City blackout of 1977.[1]
