The second collaborative collection by Levi’s and ERL features a range of reimagined denim pieces infused with ERL's nostalgic, playful style. Inspired by the skate and surf culture of Venice, Calif, the capsule collection merges Levi’s iconic denim designs with a retro flair.
The collection includes a bootcut jean, vest, overall, dress, and purse, all adorned with various light washes that evoke a sun-faded aesthetic. Each piece showcases co-branded accents and distinctive stitching.
Taking cues from a vintage '70s Levi’s silhouette, the vest is treated to a washed-out effect and triple-lined with a shaggy sherpa finish at the hem. Featuring burnished tin shanks, zigzag stitching along the back and side seams, and ERL embroidery on the front panel, the vest exudes a unique charm.
The dress features a row of shanks down the front, complemented by a straight hem, zigzag stitching at the side seams, and convenient inseam pockets, with the ERL logo stamped at the bottom.
With a wide, baggy leg adorned with pintuck side striping, the overall offers a simplified design, omitting the front pocket and featuring tonal zigzag stitching along the center seam. ERL embroidery accents the left leg, while a hammer loop adorns the right.
Blending ERL’s relaxed fit with Levi’s classic 517 style, the bootcut jean boasts side seam slits for a subtle flare. Distressed detailing along the waistband and a white-printed Two-Horse Pull graphic add a contemporary touch.
Crafted with co-branded shanks, the purse mimics the design of a traditional 5-pocket jean, offering a unique accessory option.
This collaboration marks Levi’s second venture with ERL founder Eli Russell Linnetz, following their successful debut last fall. Photographed by Linnetz himself, the latest collection encapsulates the sun-kissed essence of Californian Americana. It is available through Levi.com, the Levi’s app, select Levi’s stores, and Dover Street Market.
