WHO ARE WE
Roger and Marcel Grivec, twin brothers and denim afficionados since a very long time. We spend most of our childhood in the jeans store of our parents in the southern part of the Netherlands. Growing up with the ‘shrink-to-fit’ culture we became true denim hunters eversince. Books, movies, records and music play also big role in our life. In this photo documentary, we will try to unify with these true loves of ours. Enjoy and come back any time. Greetz Roger & Marcel

OUR OWN 49ER
“Forty-niners” is the name of gold-seekers in the California Gold Rush who arrived in 1849 in California to prove their luck. The prospectors retrieved the gold from streams and riverbeds. As a request for real sturdy work pants the first jeans was manufactured and became a huge succes eversince. The 49er used to be also the official Jeanspaleis mascotte for about 25 years.We grew up with the old chap and he still is a dear friend to us
