Levi's and 194 Local have officially partnered to release their second collaborative collection. Building upon the garment dye story that defined their initial 2022 debut, the vintage purveyor pushes the iconic denim brand's staples into unexpected territory with a vibrant, early-2000s-inspired wardrobe.
The new capsule draws heavy inspiration from archival references, utilizing stark contrast and striking color pops across every piece. Leading the lineup is a standout plaid ensemble arriving in grey and pink options, featuring a structured Type II Trucker jacket paired with matching bottoms. The jacket's signature double chest pockets provide an ideal canvas for the bold printed pattern, allowing it to be worn as a cohesive suit or as an individual statement piece.
Continuing the transformative garment dye technique from their first project, the collection utilizes a standard denim base to introduce a trio of pop-color dyes in orange, purple, and brown. Grounding the more expressive colorways is a versatile Indigo Pant. Every bottom in the collection is built on the unisex, true-to-size Levi’s 578 Baggy fit, delivering an effortless, loose drape. Finally, a co-branded back patch rendered in varying colorways ties the entire collaborative effort together.
The Levi's x 194 Local collection drops April 1 via Levi's and in 194 Local stores in Los Angeles, New York, and London.
