 Collection: Levi’s Made and Crafted. Spring 2013.

I’m always interested in what inspired a collection so when Levi’s Design Director Steve Zhizou Miles Johnson speaks about the influences of the Spring 2013 Levi’s Made and Crafted line, well I listen.  Absolutely love the pocket stitch move.  Any piece that gets better with age always gets my vote.
