What to know about Shockoe Atelier
Cut and sewn in Richmond
Designs are made in-house at the brand's own Virginia workshop in small batches, rather than sent out to contract factories.
Japanese and Candiani denim inside
Raw and stretch selvedge jeans use mill denim from Japan and Italy's Candiani, with leather-backed rivets, chain-stitched hems and contrast stitching.
Free repairs for the jean's life
Every pair comes with lifetime repairs, which reframes the med-high price as long-term ownership rather than a one-time buy.

Brand facts
Shockoe Atelier is an American denim label that designs and sews its garments in-house at its Richmond, Virginia workshop, where founder Anthony Lupesco pairs European tailoring instincts with US manufacturing. The small-batch range centers on raw and stretch selvedge jeans cut from Japanese and Candiani mill denim, alongside chinos, overshirts, jackets and tailored denim-inspired pieces. Details include leather-backed rivets, chain-stitched hems and contrast stitching, and every pair carries free repairs for the life of the jean. Sold direct from its West Broad Street shop, online and through specialist denim retailers.
