Like almost all of the best things in fashion, the gift of denim was given to us from France, for which we are eternally grateful. As Americans (and especially as Texans), we wear this versatile fabric in our everyday lives.

Denim wear has evolved from the moment it became popularized in the U.S. We had the funky flare of the ‘70s, the denim-on-denim of the ‘80s and the boyfriend look of the ‘90s (let’s not talk about anything that happened in the early 2000s). In 2017 we’ve truly embodied the “fashion repeats itself” motto and we look better than ever in our vintage-inspired outfits.
