A Bit Of History
True Religion was founded in 2002 by Jeffrey Lubell in Los Angeles, California. With a vision to revolutionise the denim industry, Lubell sought to create jeans that combined impeccable craftsmanship with innovative designs.
The brand's breakthrough came with the introduction of their signature style, featuring a distinct horseshoe stitching on the back pockets, which quickly became an iconic emblem of True Religion. The brand's name, "True Religion," was inspired by Lubell's belief in creating authentic, quality denim that would stand the test of time.
True Religion's dedication to exceptional denim was further exemplified by their commitment to using the finest materials and incorporating unique washes and finishes. The brand quickly gained a dedicated following, appealing to fashion enthusiasts seeking high-end, premium jeans with a touch of distinctive style.
In the mid-2000s, True Religion's popularity soared, and celebrities and trendsetters embraced the brand's bold and innovative designs, catapulting it into the fashion limelight. The company's success allowed them to expand their product range beyond denim, introducing apparel, accessories, and footwear, all maintaining the brand's distinct aesthetic.
Over the years, True Religion continued to evolve, introducing various collections and collaborations, further solidifying its position as a leading luxury denim brand. However, like many others in the fashion industry, the brand faced challenges in the late 2010s, including changing consumer preferences and market dynamics.
In 2020, True Religion underwent a transformative chapter, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure and optimize its operations. The brand emerged stronger, reaffirming its commitment to premium denim and iconic designs.
Today, vintage True Religion pieces hold a special place in fashion history, representing the brand's heritage and timeless appeal. True Religion remains a symbol of craftsmanship and innovation, embracing its rich legacy while continuing to inspire fashion enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
