MEL OTTENBERG’S NEW DENIM COLLECTION BY RE/DONE
“I wear jeans a lot. I usually wear vintage Levi’s 505’s from the 80’s, because they look great on the butt and have a perfect leg.” – Mel Ottenberg
“I took my denim look to my friends at RE/DONE and we created a denim uniform, MEL by RE/DONE.
The uniform consists of the MEL jean in two washes (medium blue and light acid), a trucker jacket, the Club Mel graphic tee, and a selection of upcycled Levi’s 505’s. It’s all unisex and sustainable.” – Mel Ottenberg
“We also did a limited run of upcycled Levi’s 505’s because RE/DONE got famous by taking Levi’s and upcycling them, and because the 505 is my true essence.” – Mel Ottenberg
The jacket and MEL jean are made from 100% organic cotton. The RE/DONE/ Levi’s 505’s are 100% upcycled from vintage denim, while the graphic tees are made with 30% recycled cotton using the old-school tubular construction.
