We’re excited to announce our latest collaboration with vintage brand Bentgablenits. The capsule collection combines Levi’s® denim heritage with the design trio’s approach to upcycled vintage pieces. Our most iconic silhouettes have been reinvented, highlighting the quality and artistry of both brands, while manufacturing with as little environmental impact as possible.

ABOUT BENTGABLENITS

Based in Toronto, Bentgablenits (a.k.a. BENTGABLE x NITS), is a joint project by design firm Bent Gable Design’s Karen Gable and Brenda Bent along with Angelo Nitsopoulos, a vintage fashion collector who goes by Nits. The trio figured out the perfect formula to leverage their skills: Nitsopoulos sources vintage clothes, and Bent and Gable rework them by adding delicate trimmings and embellishments (check out those colorful crochet flowers), giving a new life to pre-loved garments and making each piece unique in its own way.

BEHIND THE COLLABORATION

Our 501® jeans and Trucker Jacket have been customization classics since day one, so it was only natural they acted as canvases for a new collaboration. We took our Levi’s® Authorized Vintage collection and Bentgablenits added their signature touch by breathing new life into pre-worn denim with intricate hand-embellished floral stitchings interspersed throughout the garments. The pieces unite Levi’s® authenticity, Bentgablenits’ craftmanship and our shared commitment to sustainability.
