Bengi Jeans: quality and inspiration

Bold and daring: a young twenty year old without formal training takes the streetwear scene by storm All about Bengi Jeans screams pure authenticity...

Bengi Jeans is for go-getters

It is this personal and intimate burning passion that leads to the bold and expressionistic jeans that Bengi offer. When he was in high school, Forbes wouldn’t hang at the cool kids table and brag about his newest kicks and accessories, he was by himself drawing what he saw around him, what inspired him, and plotting how to make the stuff the cool kids were talking about – not just buy it. He always wanted to be at the forefront, never wanted to be a follower.

Bengi Jeans burns with passion

Bengi Jeans’ signature back pocket stitching then are all based on Forbes’ drawings. And it is the stitching that really sets the jeans apart. The designs boast flashy colors, loud patterns, but also stylish intricacy, like the navy blue Brooklyn Bridge design that had the internet buzzing when it first hit the streets. All the fabrics used for Bengi Jeans are American and all the stitching is done in America as well – sometimes even by the big man himself. “I’m still underground, you know”, assures Forbes. “I’m still chopping it up day by day.” Which brings us back to Bengi Jeans’ authenticity. It is hard to imagine a label that is more of a passion project for its founder than Bengi. Or as he writes on his blog: “As a designer and creative individual I believe in surrounding myself with inspiration.” It shows in the designs. And Bengi Jeans is surely an inspiration to a lot of other individuals, proving that if you set your mind on a goal, you have all the chances in the world of achieving it.
