Lee is the signature of quality, innovation and durability. Following with the establishment of 'H.D. Lee Mercantile Company' by Henry David Lee in Kansas, United States, Lee becomes a legendary denim brand which continues making history by its product innovations, such as the world's first-ever zip fly jeans - 101Z in 1926, iconic 'Hair-on-hide' leather label and 'Lazy S' back pocket stitching. From the launch of the 1st Lee bib to the 13oz '101' cowboy jeans, Lee demonstrates the passion of innovation over 120 years, transforming from a practical-and-durable-workwear maker to a contemporary-and-trendy fashion giant.

We are a part of the past and the future of Amsterdam. To maintain the connection with the past, we used the brown colour for our inner pockets. The sailboats with the brown sails were used for transporting the turf and the materials needed to build the houses that are still there today. The first dungarees or working trousers (with the well-known rivets) were made of the same kind of fabric as the old sails. In later years denim fabric was used for work trousers. We made our collection for every suitable occasion, from dressing up smart in Paradiso to a walk to/trough the Vondelpark. From the catwalks to the streets. We don’t compromise, 'this is Amsterdam man', we know what’s going on in the world. The recognizable details are: the name, the logo, the buttons, the dark blue yarn, (we use for stitching) and the history of Amsterdam you find on the inner pockets. The logo of Amsterdenim reflects the pointed roofs, the 3 crosses, bridges, canals, the centre and the name Amsterdenim . Enjoy the Denimcapital of the world, Amsterdenim.

For Spring Summer 2015, Lee Cooper continues our partnership with Makers and commitment to craft. This season it’s all about East London. Our SS15 campaign blends studio imagery with East London Art. The imagery was inspired by some of Lee Cooper’s iconic advertising and legendary ties to the music industry; a segment of culture we have always been deeply rooted in. The Canals of the East End, and the people who lived and worked there, were inspiration for our collection.
