Some French Things Are Real



The French, they were never ones for having a spirited or minimalistic edge.

More simply put, Frenchies Marithe + Francois Girbaud made denim both relative and ahead of its time…starting with the hip hop scene of the 90’s. And today they’re still ahead of the denim game.
