Founded in 2019 by designer and aesthete Tremaine Emory, each Denim Tears collection tells a story, revealing what the brand’s founder calls the African Diaspora. Showcased through defining collaborations with the likes of Ugg, Stüssy, Champion, Converse, ASICS, and Dior, Denim Tears is a portfolio of Emory’s African American vision. Denim Tears’ approach to heritage and design has earned its place in The Met Costume Institute in New York’s permanent collection.

The brand's designs are characterized by bold graphics, distressed denim, and a rebellious spirit. Denim Tears' collections often feature vintage-inspired washes, patchwork details, and a focus on sustainable practices. The brand's name is a reflection of the designer's love for denim and his desire to create clothing that is both stylish and meaningful.
