Have you heard of DSTLD (pronounced distilled)? Chances are the brand has rung a bell or two. With backgrounds in the creatives and luxury market, founders Corey Epstein and Mark Lynn believe that great clothing shouldn’t come at an extreme price tag.
To be able to cut costs, took away the noise and chose minimal, modern and lasting styles. Next, they cut out retail to make their pieces available at a 1/3 of the price that they would normally retail for.
Even better, the team is still able to provide sustainable materials, natural dyes, and eco-friendly practices and techniques.
If you have been on the hunt for a quality pair of jeans, DSTLD is definitely a brand that you should try. See our favorites below

Our DSTLD Interview
DSTLD’s line offers premium denim, skinny high rise jeans, and jackets.
A few years ago when DSTLD had just launched, we had the privilege of interviewing their founders.
Mark Lynn and Corey Epstein are marketing/business gurus from Colorado that have a few businesses together and Anh Vu…well, she helped start the brand Nautica Jeans with John Varvatos so I don’t really need to do any more convincing. This “denim A-team” is not only bringing you a great product but approaching the way you buy denim in a whole new way.

Check out my interview with the DSTLD crew below, and enjoy shopping for their premium denim!
1. Tell us a little about DSTLD and what sets you apart from other premium brand denim?
Mark Lynn: DSTLD puts so much investment in the fit and make. You can see and feel this by the quality of the fabric and how it includes stretch for fit (no sag) and comfort, the richness of the dyes and washes, the premium hardware and intricate stitching (especially on the cuffs). With DSTLD’s clean, modern styles part of the fit and make is in what you don’t notice ÔÇö the fit achieves a second skin feeling and the make ensures we don’t need to cover anything up with unnecessary (cheapening) elements.
Anh Vu: We design and craft our jeans using top-tier fabrics and the same mills as other top premium brands, however where you really see the difference with us is in our groundbreaking grading/tailoring systems for greater fit precision. Because we don’t need to work on traditional retail timelines, we’re also often first-to-market with highly modern fabrics and design techniques. In many ways, DSTLD is superior to other premium brands, only our line starts at $65. For women, we employ a dual-layer contoured waistband for a comfortable, figure-flattering close fit that eliminates the dreaded “butt gap” (guys: ask your girlfriends about this), a multi-point “bodymapping” system to ensure every size is cut to embrace and highlight the body, and ring-spun dual-flex yarns for super soft feel as well as superior stretch and recovery.

2. Where do you draw inspiration from for your collections?
Anh Vu: Our aesthetic is a mix between French minimalism and edgy street chic. Designing is an extremely collaborative process! Between working with Corey and Mark on the styles to come and executing the washes and finishes with the manufacturers, no detail goes overlooked. With DSTLD, it’s all about clean, effortless style – no excess. You won’t find anything meaningless, no crazy stitching for the sake of showing off. Instead I focus on perfecting the art of simple, streamlined design. Carefully detailing the fit and stitching scheme for every garment – specifying the size and shape of every last stitch, from fly to pocket lines to hem. Selecting the exactly right fabric and wash to make a pair of jeans look and feel amazing. I’m a little obsessive about design. You have to be, though, with something as nuanced as denim. For weeks I’ll mull over how the pocket shape changes with subtle angles and when the denim is stretched along curves.
3. Where do you see DSTLD in 5 years? 10? What is your vision for the company?
We see DSTLD as becoming the biggest, most successful born online lifestyle brand. We want to change the way people experience luxury, because luxury isn’t just a price point – it’s innovation, it’s utilizing the most advanced materials, and it’s the experience in which you deliver all of the elements together. DSTLD is creating that experience.
