Lucky Brand sells jeans and casual clothing online and through retail partners. Its ownership path runs Liz Claiborne Inc. (1999-2013), Leonard Green & Partners, then the July 2020 Chapter 11 filing, from which Authentic Brands Group took the brand and SPARC Group the operations. The Southern California roots of the brand are recorded on the history page.
The distinctive look is manufactured, literally, by hand processes. Lucky Brand gives their denim its distinctive look by literally putting it through the wringer: they rip, mend, sand, fray, patch and wash their pieces - often by hand - to give them real character and soul. They add authentic hardware and special details inspired by the rugged work wear denim of our pioneers. Six verbs of distressing, most of them forms of damage carefully applied, produce the opposite of damage: character. The paradox is the brand's craft claim - a new jean that arrives pre-lived-in, its history simulated by the same hand-finishing that workwear earned by work.
The earlier record for this company - its history, past brand line-ups, figures and photographs from the periods described - is kept on a separate page for historical reference.
