For Canadian Quality try Kuwalla | Tee!

For Canadian Quality try Kuwalla | Tee!

The brand Kuwalla | Tee was inspired by the founders frustration with cheap 3-packs of T-shirts, and their love for the basics.
In May 2012 they launched their first premium 3-pack cotton tees and have since grown into a ready-to-wear clothing label, focused on delivering the best quality basics on the market. 
By using only the best materials & fabrics, they design 'essential' items that are timeless and comfortable for everyday.
Their koala logo represents their love and respect for Mother Nature. Made in Canada, all products are created with the well being of the environment in mind. A great example of this is the fact that their 3-packs are packaged in recycled fabric salvaged during the production process!
Kuwalla | Tee is part of the 1% for the Planet project - an organization that provides a window for small & large brands to make a difference in their own way by donating 1% of sales to an environmental cause.
While 3-packs are where they got their start, they are now also very well known for their stylish and comfortable joggers.
And if joggers are too warm for this weather there's always the popular Chino Shorts.
While you're picking out some shorts you might as well grab a tank and top it off with a lightweight hoodie.
We're proud to have Kuwalla | Tee as one of the  brands we represent and highly recommend you head over and check out what we've got in stock now!
| From July 7-10 we are offering 40-60% off all Kuwalla products - in store only |

1873-2016. Levi's: The Original Jeans

1873-2016. Levi's: The Original Jeans

Did you know that when you buy a pair of Levi’s, you’re buying a part of history?

It’s amazing that a brand that started it all is still just as trendy today as in 1873 – the year Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented the process of putting rivets in men’s work pants for the first time.

Levi’s are a true example of a brand evolving with the times without losing its original quality!

From a working man's staple item that sold for $1.25 to Kardashian casual for $100+ Levi's celebrated their 143rd anniversary in May. The 501s made 143 years ago are still being made today! 
So what does this classic brand have available for this summer?
Two collections that stand out the most are the Skateboarding Collection, and an eye-catching rainbow-detailed LGBT Pride Collection.
Our favourite summer staples over here at Denim Kings right now though are the 501 shorts, available in pale Frozen Stream Blue or a darker Echo Park Blue. Shorts with an iconic fit and button fly that started it all.
For men, we recommend the 511 slim fit cut-offs in Grey. The raw hem on these can be visible, or rolled for a slightly different look.
So check out Levi's: The jeans that only get better with age.

Summer Style for the Rebel in YOU!

Summer Style for the Rebel in YOU!

Moving into its 16th year of existence, One Teaspoon is a tried and true brand from Australia described as “FANTASTICALLY REBELLIOUS, SEX-INFUSED OLD SCHOOL ROCK & ROLL GLAMOUR”
If that appeals to you (and who wouldn't that appeal to??) this is the brand for you.

Channel your inner model and rock that festival style on a daily basis like Chrissy Teigen, with "Bandit" shorts. - Did you know, Chrissy even wore her One Teaspoon jeans when she was pregnant? 

Get creative with layering a-la Zendaya in her "Freebirds" half hidden under a sexy thigh-high boot.

It's really all about those Bandits this summer though. Even Gigi Hadid and her sister Bella have caught the Bandit bug!
So what are you waiting for? Head on over and Shop One Teaspoon!!

Vitaly: The story behind the brand

Vitaly: The story behind the brand

 

The story behind the birth of Vitaly is as organic and natural as many of our life experiences. Shane Vitaly Foran, founder and designer of the Vitaly brand found himself juggling many jobs and school work without any particular direction in his life. It’s a situation I think every one of us has felt in at least one point of our lives.

Once out of school he decided to drop his jobs and travel abroad in search of experience and inspiration, in hopes of finding that passion. He found himself in an Indonesian town Ubud in Bali. This particular town is known for traditional crafts as well as tourism which is a major focal point of their economy. He met with several craftsmen and began to experiment with designs and new materials. He posted his first piece a double finger ring made from black wood on Facebook and received quite strong and positive feedback. The rest is history, as we often say.

The brands innovative styles combined with affordable pricing generated immense hype throughout Canada and the US. Shane and Jason Readman (his managing partner) even went on Dragons Den with their products and business plan receiving offers from ALL the dragons!

Since then they’ve been working on expanding their business from jewelry to clothing inspired by the DJ/tattoo lifestyle. You’ll find boat neck double scoop acid wash long sleeves, fish tail chunky knit charcoal sweaters, even some custom collaborative items like the Sully Wong limited edition high-top leather sneakers.

I must admit I currently own a lot of their clothing but its hard to resist the stylish colors and natural fit of their clothing. Need I forget to mention the exceptional prices make it difficult to resist doubling up my Vitaly clothing purchases!

 

Check out our Vitaly collection!

G-Star RAW for the Oceans

G-Star RAW for the Oceans

I wear denim like I eat sushi, RAW.
Speaking of fish, Gstar has collaborated with Pharrell in their Raw for the Oceans campaign to create awareness about pollution and its effects on the oceans. 
With all the mainstream media covering climate change issues and its effects its
hard to steer away from this important issue. It is refreshing to see artists such as Pharrell partnering up with G-Star and using their influence to further educate people on the impacts we have on our environment. After all we should take any measures to keep our planet clean and protect the environment.  It's the only planet we have (for now :P). 
RAW for the Oceans is an initiative recycling ocean plastic into G-Star collections co-designed by Pharrell Williams (Creative Director of Bionic Yarn). Essentially jeans constructed with recycled plastics recuperated from the oceans! 
"We aim  to create awareness. No-one who has ever played this game will ever throw a plastic bottle in the ocean again." Pharrell. He is talking about Battle for Big Blue, the online and FREE interactive game where you play a cartoon octopus who eats up plastic bottles in the ocean for points (link to the game will be provided below. 
"Climate change is one of the most defining issues of our time. We can each do our part, and recycling ocean plastics is a good way to start." Pharrell. Denim Kings took this into consideration when choosing the latest stock of G-Star denim, that of which we just received this week in our stores! 
For more info on G-Stars latest campaign and how they use recycled plastics in their denim, to play the interactive game Battle for Big Blue, or to view the latest G-Star collection online, check the links below.
