The Los Angeles-based label, launched in 2014 by Sean Barron and Jamie Mazur, is known for reconstructing vintage Levi’s denim into modern styles.

Its retail footprint is found in West Hollywood and Malibu in LA, Miami and the Hamptons in New York, and now at 22 Rue de Grenelle in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of Saint-Germain.
