Paige Premium Denim Women's Fashion Brand

PAIGE is dedicated to designing the pieces you'll live in: a lifestyle collection of premium denim jeans and apparel for men and women. The brand first launched in February 2005 in high-end retailers including Intermix, Ron Herman, Bergdorf Goodman and Harvey Nichols. That launch list is the brand's positioning in one line - a new denim label that entered through premium doors rather than building up to them, and was taken up at once by the shoppers those stores serve.

Paige's designs became an instant obsession of consumers, celebrities, and prominent fashion editors. Quickly, they unveiled their men's, petites and maternity ranges - all created with the same commitment to the craft. The order matters for a women's shopper: the women's premium denim came first, and the petites and maternity ranges extended the same fits to the bodies standard premium denim most often underserves. The brand is developed by Paige Adams-Geller, whose vibrant entrepreneurial spirit and convention-breaking ways are credited as the label's continuing inspiration.

Wear-Tested in Los Angeles

They partner with the best wash-houses in Los Angeles. Every style they create is wear-tested, and tested again. They are completely obsessed with designing pieces you'll live in - jeans that go from morning to moonlight; the perfect pair that works like a charm, always; pieces to help you stand tall in what you're wearing. That is a checkable shopping brief: a Paige wash is a Los Angeles wash-house product, so judge a pair first on the wash itself - evenness, hand feel and how the fading sits on the garment's stress points - before judging the silhouette.

Shop the women's range by fit family and rise first, then by wash. Premium denim is bought on the second wear as much as the first: check waistband recovery, seat and knee stretch behaviour, and seam finishing inside the leg, where premium construction shows. Use Apparel Search's women's denim jeans guide - linked from this page - for the fit vocabulary before comparing styles. Petites shoppers should start in the dedicated petites range rather than hemming a standard length, and maternity shoppers in the maternity range, exactly as the brand's own range structure intends.

A February 2005 Launch That Held Its Doors

A launch in February 2005 at Intermix, Ron Herman, Bergdorf Goodman and Harvey Nichols set an expectation the brand then had to keep: premium retailers reorder on sell-through, not on launch publicity. The record - instant obsession among consumers, celebrities and fashion editors, followed quickly by the men's, petites and maternity ranges - describes a label whose first product succeeded well enough to fund its own expansion within the same craft commitment.
