About Us

Founded in 1972, Buffalo was born of fashion. Since our beginnings in France, the birthplace of denim, our denim was more than a working-class uniform—it was a means of expression. Born in Europe and made famous in Montreal, Canada, Buffalo has continued to become a canvas for individuality and outspoken style. Today we continue to push boundaries, and to make bold statements with our core foundation: denim. Dressing you from the “bottoms up” with the perfect fits, the finest fabrics, and timeless washes, while being responsible in our social and environmental impact. Denim that defines you. Not only to be seen, but to be seen differently. This is who we are, We Are Denim.
