Still Here is an American fashion brand founded by Sonia and Maurice Mosseri, based in New York City that designs and sells clothing. The company is known for its vintage-inspired denim jeans.[1] The brand was first popularized by celebrities Hailey Bieber, Emma Chamberlain and Chiara Ferragni.[2]

Overview[edit]

The brand was founded in 2018 by husband and wife team, Sonia and Maurice Mosseri, childhood friends from Brooklyn, New York.[3][4][5] Inspired by the fades, rips and patches of her father's childhood jeans, Sonia launched Still Here on Instagram in 2018 with a small line of hand-painted denim.[6][7]

The vintage style silhouette and hand-painted detail attracted the attention of major luxury department store Barneys New York. Still Here's first season launched with Barneys in 2019 and soon after expanded Internationally with Net-A-Porter.[8]

In mid-2022, Still Here opened their first brick-and-mortar retail location in New York City's Nolita neighborhood.[9][10] In April 2022, the company launched a sustainability initiative in the form of Still Here Café. Waste from their denim production process is recycled into a fertilizer, which is then used to grow coffee trees in Guatemala. The beans harvested from this process are roasted in small batches and served in their retail store location.[11][12][13] The jeans are hand finished in Los Angeles.[14][15]
