Lucky Brand Jeans closes the L letter, eighth in its hub's listing order, filed in the hub as Lucky Brand Jeans Children's Clothing Brand. Explore the world of Lucky designs for the little ones you love most. Find stylish clothing for boys and girls. That opening is the children's offer in two lines: designs for the little ones, and stylish clothing for boys and girls alike. Behind those two lines sits a proper founding story - two partners, a previous brand, a 1990 launch, a signature detail stitched into every pair of jeans, and dated children's milestones in 2005 and 2006 - all given in full below.
In 1978, Gene moved to enter into the Los Angeles fashion industry. With partner Michael Caruso he started Bongo and ran the brand for 15 years. The pre-history matters because it reads as one continuous apprenticeship: a 1978 move into Los Angeles fashion, a partnership with Michael Caruso, a brand called Bongo started together, and fifteen years running it. Gene's surname is not given in this part of the record - he is named simply as Gene here, with his full partnership named in the next step - so the naming is kept rather than completed from elsewhere.
After leaving Bongo, Gene teamed up with his old business partner Barry Perlman in 1990 to launch Lucky Brand. 'Old business partner' is the phrase for Perlman, and 1990 is the launch year. Gene and Barry created a brand that is known for the attention to detail put into each pair of jeans. This along with the stitching of Lucky You on the fly, accomplishes the goal that Gene and Barry set out to do; to create a product of good quality and good humor. Attention to detail in each pair, a hidden Lucky You stitched on the fly, and a founding goal stated as good quality and good humor - that trio is the brand's identity.
The Lucky You detail deserves its place in a children's profile, because it is exactly the kind of thing a child discovers and delights in: a message stitched where only the wearer knows to look. Good quality and good humor, as a stated goal, is also a fair summary of what children's jeans should be - made well enough for daily wear, designed with a lightness that suits the wearer. The detail and the goal are history; whether a given current pair carries the same stitching is for the shopper to check on the garment, guided by the brand's own kids pages linked in References below.
In 2005, the company expanded its line to include clothing for infants through age 10. In 2006, the company opened Lucky Brand Jeans Kid stores, which exclusively sell their children's clothing. Those two dated sentences are the children's core of this profile: a 2005 expansion spanning infants through age 10 - the widest children's age span named anywhere in this letter - followed a year later by dedicated Lucky Brand Jeans Kid stores selling children's clothing exclusively. A brand that opens stores only for its children's line has made children a line of business in their own right, not an afterthought to adult jeans.
Infants through age 10, read as buying context, covers the fastest-changing years of a child's wardrobe: infant clothing that must open and close easily and wash constantly, toddler clothing built for falls, and school-age clothing - the stylish clothing for boys and girls of the opening - built for daily wear. Jeans sit naturally at the centre of that span for the older half of it, which is where this brand began. Learn more about Lucky Brand kids fashion at the brand's own kids site, linked in References below, where current styles and sizes belong.
The guidance here is general children's jeans guidance, labelled as a general standard and not as a claim about the current Lucky range. Attention to detail, the brand's own founding standard, is a good shopper's checklist in miniature: stitching even and unbroken, pocket corners reinforced, fly and fastenings smooth, and any stitched detail - Lucky You is the famous example of the kind - sewn cleanly rather than printed to peel. Denim should be sturdy at the knee yet soft enough after a wash that a child picks the pair up willingly.
In short: stylish clothing for boys and girls, designed for the little ones you love most; a founder, Gene, who entered the Los Angeles fashion industry in 1978, started Bongo with partner Michael Caruso and ran it for 15 years; a 1990 Lucky Brand launch with old business partner Barry Perlman; a brand known for attention to detail in each pair of jeans, with Lucky You stitched on the fly, aiming at a product of good quality and good humor; a 2005 expansion to clothing for infants through age 10; and Lucky Brand Jeans Kid stores opened in 2006, exclusively selling children's clothing.
