BALMAIN

Faded ripped slim-fit jeans

It can take years to master the art of thrifting, so why waste time when you can rely on Balmain instead? A Parisian maison with a penchant for pre-loved embellishments, the brand crafts these slim-fit cotton-blend strech-denim jeans with the kind of vintage-esque fade that would take hours to find in a flea market or second-hand store. Artfully ripped at the front creating a punky sign-off, they're embroidered with a brand patch at the back pocket for extra street kudos.
