Denim: Sling and Stones

Things kind of got over-saturated there in the premium denim market for a moment, but when Sling and Stones crossed our radar, our tired ears perked up: the relatively new denim line is sustainable and ethically-produced, which always makes us happy. The denim itself looks pretty cool, with unique details like square 24k gold-plated buttons (instead of the usual round ones) and a non-traditional yoke in the back. The cloth is organic Japanese supima denim, the cuts are modern and au courant, they're using certified fair trade labor whenever possible, and the company is donating a percentage of its profits to educational, cultural and ecological initiatives that benefit the communities in which the jeans are manufactured. Good denim with a good conscience: that's always stylish, don't you think?

Once we get better pictures, we'll post them, but FYI, Sling and Stones will be available through the following retailers in late August/early September:

New York: Bergdorf Goodman, Jeffrey's New York, What Comes Around Goes Around, Kaight, Armoire (Brooklyn), BOC (491 Columbus Ave)

Los Angeles: Nordstroms (Pacific Palisades), Kate Daniels (Seal Beach), Sidewalks (Laguna Beach), Switch (Beverly Hills), Satine (L.A.), Stacey Todd (Studio City)
