Iconic American denim brand Levi's has partnered with artisan fashion label Come Tees to expand its already launched Spring/Summer 2022 collection. The new partnership will see the two brands collaborating to deliver new punk-inspired apparel consisting of patchwork jeans and graphic t-shirts.
For the collab, Come Tees went to work customizing Levi's classic 501 Jeans, creating an all-new style offered in Washed Black or True Blue colorways, both of which feature patchwork stitched into the legs. Meanwhile, the exclusive new t-shirts comes with a white base and feature phrases such as 'Whole Universe,' 'Angel Vision,' 'Most Power Full,' and 'Beautiful Dreamer.'
"In punk, there’s a tradition of wearing patches on your clothes, but I wasn’t really down with the patches for those bands. So I always made my own patches of things that I was really into," said Come Tees founder Sonya Sombreuil referencing the DIY nature of the new collaboration.
