Local Design Talent
For this anniversary, Levi’s taps into the local creative community, commissioning artists including Mr Sabotage, Lovage & Ken, Tell Your Children, Tobyato, FIN Crafted Goods and students from LASALLE College of the Arts to each design a pair of 501 inspired by their own 501 stories.
Each pair of custom 501 will be displayed at Levi’s 501 Experience.
Levi’s Tailor Shop
Choose from a range of special 150th-anniversary patches, or make your mark with custom embroidery and distressing. Those looking for an added touch will want to customise their items with flash designs from Lovage & Ken on 20 May and Tobyato on 21 May.
Purchase any item at Levi’s 501 Experience on 20 and 21 May, or any pair of 501 jeans at select Levi’s stores between 12 to 21 May to enjoy a complimentary customisation service at Levi’s 501 Experience Tailor Shop.
