‘Still in Love’ Custom Jeans
By Qofi Quainoo
These Italian denim jeans, originally sourced from a unique import-export store in Vienna, have been thoughtfully customized with the theme "Still in Love." The design features intricate hand embroidery and hand-sewn patchwork, crafted in collaboration with freelance seamstress Hadley Zonay (@hadleyzonay).
The inspiration for this piece came to me during a series of unforgettable flights. While in Vienna, where I sourced the jeans, I experienced an emotional dream of a golden girl. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but months later, while flying back to the U.S. from Ghana, I had the same dream. Then, on a flight from Greece, I woke up in a sweat after dreaming of her again. It was a sublime moment, on an otherwise uncomfortable flight. Inspired by these dreams, I created this design. I love the way I do because of you.
Each pair is a one-of-a-kind expression of love, artistry, and personal meaning, blending quality Italian craftsmanship with bespoke details that make them truly special.
