Dear Denim features an authentic denim pocket from the respectable brand, Levi Strauss. Alongside the pocket, ‘Patch of Eli’ is created with a specific color scheme, as well as a popular coined phrase that signifies the aspect of being African- American, ’HELLA BLACK’. Denim and African- American history coincide with one another due to denim being deemed as a ‘slave clothing’. While this particular fabric was used solely in the fields and other demeaning work areas, it has slowly transitioned into a symbol of identity and resistance for African- Americans.
