The story of Purple Brand: a new school of California denim

Founded in 2017 in Los Angeles by brothers Justin and Eric Stake, alongside Henry Stake, Purple Brand was born from a simple insight: create contemporary premium denim freed from the vintage codes that had dominated the American market for twenty years. The Stake brothers, former True Religion designers, know the grammar of California denim by heart — the cut, the wash, the signature yellow stitching — and decided to reinvent it for the streetwear generation. The bet: take the artisanal know-how of designer denim and inject it into a resolutely modern silhouette, tailored for hip-hop culture, skate and urban luxury.

Three years later, Purple Brand became one of the most-worn denim brands on the American hip-hop scene. Travis Scott regularly features it in his stage outfits, Justin Bieber wears it leaving the studio, NBA players like LaMelo Ball or Ja Morant make it a tunnel walk uniform. The brand asserts itself as a new standard: direct heir to True Religion and Amiri, but with its own signature, rougher, more Californian, more connected to the street.

A technical obsession: how Purple Brand builds its jeans

What sets Purple Brand apart is the level of finish. The jeans are designed in Los Angeles from Japanese and Turkish denim fabrics selected for their density and longevity. Each piece passes through the hands of denim artisans trained in California washing: stone wash, localized sanding, hand-cut distressing, bleach treatments controlled to the gram. The rivets and buttons are solid metal, the signature yellow stitching is double-stitched to withstand years of heavy wear.

Concretely, that means three things: a fabric that patinas with each wash instead of deforming, distressed finishes that stay stable (the rips don't widen uncontrollably), and a silhouette that holds its original drape thanks to selvedge or heavyweight denim depending on the model. It's the standard of designer denim — not industrial denim.

The iconic cuts of the Purple Brand collection

Purple Brand's strength is its grid of cuts numbered P001 to P005, which have become a language of their own. The P001 is the historic skinny cut, ultra-fitted on the thigh and tight at the ankle — the signature silhouette of the early days. The P002 offers a slim straight tapered, slightly more relaxed, designed for those who want to keep the snap of the skinny with more comfort. The P003 is the pure slim straight, the most universal cut of the grid, suitable for all body types.

The P004 opens the leg with a more airy slim relaxed, and the P005, more recent, embraces the baggy/flare movement that dominates the 2024-2026 scene — wide cut on the thigh, full flare at the ankle, the favorite jeans of XXL silhouette lovers. On the wash side, MTHOR offers the most sought-after: raw indigo, blue raw, light vintage, dirty wash, jet black, off-white, plus the most exclusive distressed and patchwork versions. The collection also extends to heavyweight jersey t-shirts, premium fleece hoodies, denim jackets and accessories (belts, beanies, embroidered caps) that complete the brand's visual identity.

FAQ — Purple Brand at MTHOR

How to check the authenticity of a Purple Brand jean?

Every Purple Brand piece sold at MTHOR is authenticated in-house before shipping. Our team checks the inner label, product codes, signature yellow stitching, denim weight, rivets and buttons, plus the consistency of washes and rips with the brand's official references. For details on our method, check our authentication page.

Which Purple Brand cut to choose: P001, P002, P003, P004 or P005?

The P001 is ultra-skinny, fitted from thigh to ankle. The P002 is slim tapered, slightly more relaxed. The P003 is slim straight, the most versatile cut. The P004 is slim relaxed, slightly open. The P005 is baggy/flare, wide and flared. If unsure, the P003 is the best starting point: it's the most universal cut of the grid.

How to choose your size in Purple Brand jeans?

Purple Brand generally fits true to classic US sizing (28, 30, 32, 34, 36…). If you wear a 32 at Levi's or Amiri, take a 32 at Purple. On skinny cuts (P001), some prefer to size up for comfort. For baggy/flare (P005), you can take your usual size or size down for a tighter fit on the thigh.

Is Purple Brand denim made to last?

Yes. Purple Brand uses premium denims (Japanese and Turkish, partly selvedge or heavyweight) with double-stitched finishes. The rips are stabilized so they don't widen, and the washes are calibrated to patina without turning. It's denim designed as an author's piece, not as a disposable product.
