    A specialty denim collection rooted in archives, launched by Lee in 2017. Its core design approach is to “re-edit” archival details such as stitching and hardware by combining them with contemporary fits, finishes, and trend elements. While 101 prioritizes materials and construction to distill the brand’s heritage, Vintage Modern translates archival elements into forms that are easier to incorporate into everyday wear, serving to broaden the brand’s entry point.
