Bringing world renowned brands closer to home, premier retailer Stores Specialists, Inc. amazes the fashionable metro with Lucky Brand Jeans! Renowned for its great-fitting vintage jeans, Lucky Brand Jeans dresses each one with the hippest ensembles. 

Lucky Brand Jeans is built on moments of irrefutable attitude and vision without compromise.  Los Angeles and the free spirited Southern California lifestyle continue to inspire the company’s style. 

Jointly founded by two good friends who were passionate about blue jeans and rock “n” rock, Gene Montesano and Barry Perlman have created designs rich in rock sentiments with a signature sense of humor.

Fall/Winter 2009 sees Lucky Brand Jeans embark on a “voyage” to take its fans onto a creative odyssey — one that will bring new surprises with the ever-lasting fashion genres of jeans and tees. Independent thinking, an individualistic style and a true-to-oneself brand philosophy is what Lucky Brand Jeans brings to the forefront.

Lucky Brand Jeans gives men an active statement that takes on a new direction. Skull, motorbike, guitar and other rock-n-roll elements together with the brand’s signature stencil prints as well as humorous statements form the focus of the men’s short sleeve and raglan long-sleeve tees. These tees go perfectly with the brand’s uniquely washed vintage straight or bootleg jeans to shape the men with untamable liberalism. Eagle embroidered shirts, plaid woven shirts, cotton zip-up hoodies in American style and military jackets in denim all express much masculinity.

The women’s collection on the other hand takes inspiration in all parts of the world from prints, color, and design. Eye-catching floral patterns, paisley prints, slub “Rice-Bag” graphic tees are sure to be ladies’ favorites this season. Embroidered tunic and turtle dove print slit neck tees bring to life the modern vintage feel that is all about Lucky Brand Jeans. Printed Kimono sleeve cardigans and cotton zip-up hoodies are as exotic as they are sleek, matching the Danielle Cargo pants. With this cargo pants’ unique back pocket stitches and signature pre-wash effects, you are sure to turn heads! Wild and fancy-free panther skinny jeans make the ladies a throwback from the remarkable hippie era.
