BRAND
IDENTITY
In 1873, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis
designed the first waist overalls, or blue
jeans. From there the blue jeans was
identified as a ‘uniform’ of progress and
became a classic part of Americana.

LIFE STYLE
TRENDS
CONSCIOUS CLOSETS
People are becoming more conscious of the amount of products they are
buying. Instead of constantly buying new pairs of jeans, people are leaning
more towards wearing what they already have in their closet. This could be a
potential threat to sales as people begin buying less.
