"So a cactus and a tear walk into a saloon," Denim Tears founder Tremaine Emory wrote, announcing the Denim Tears x Cactus Plant Flea Market x Levi's collab.
Denim Tears and Cactus Plant Flea Market are back together, and they're heading out west this time. The two minds reconnect, joined by Levi's, for a denim capsule full of Western vibes and massive red tags. That's tags, not red flags, by the way.
What's in the Denim Tears x Cactus Plant Flea Market x Levi's collection? From the looks of it, the offering includes a denim jacket, denim trousers, and a denim tote.
Each Denim Tears x CPFM piece boasts brown contrast stitching and seriously blown-up Levi's red tabs, echoing the essence of each brand (Denim Tears and Levi's denim specialties and CPFM's playful edge).
It's worth mentioning that the Denim Tears x Cactus Plant Flea Market x Levi's collection features the Levi's red tab versus the blank tab. For those unfamiliar, 10% of famous Levi's badges produced are blank red tabs, featuring only the trademark symbol, not Levi's name.
The Levi's red tabs — often seen on Levi's vintage clothing — incorporate the label's name plus the trademark, and is considered to be a rare feature by vintage denim collectors.
Seeing this new collab getting the special Levi's red tab treatment (in a big way, at that) kind of makes the pieces even cooler, in my opinion. And then there's the Lil Yachty boost, on top of that.
For those wondering when and where you can cop, Denim Tears x Cactus Plant Flea Market x Levi's collection will drop exclusively at Complex Con. However, I'm hoping some leftover pieces land at Denim Tears and Cactus Plant Flea Market following the event.
Following a drop-off of Smiley sweatshirts in 2022, Denim Tears and Cactus Plant Flea Market linked for a Fourth of July drop in 2022, delivering denim wears embellished with crystals, stars stripes, and hues of the Pan-African flag.
Denim Tears and Cactus Plant Flea Market may not get together as much as Denim Tears and Levi's. But when they do, we're usually met with a good capsule. The latest Levi's collection is all the more proof.
