Operation Chiin Chilla

In 2012, a wayward foreigner of Colombian decent living in Shanghai, China, sketched an unassuming yet mysterious character onto a notebook. With thickly-framed glasses, headphones and a pronounced eye squint, Chiin Chilla was born. Chiin Chilla first appeared on T-shirts and rapidly became a fashion icon in Shanghai, a mega-city in its creative prime. Our urban-inspired brand was a first of its kind there, and we continued to grow our collection, invent new patterns, and build a loyal fashion-forward community. Operation Chiin Chilla is known for its prestigious fabrics and is forever inspired by Shanghai's traditional and Art Deco prints that are playfully interwoven into our designs. You might call it, Shanghai Couture. After eight years in China, we expanded overseas to new headquarters in majestic Downtown Los Angeles, USA.
