Levi’s® and sacai Return for a Third Chapter of Denim Reinvention
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 18, 2026) – Levi’s® and Japanese fashion house sacai are back for a third collaborative outing, deepening a partnership built on Chitose Abe’s singular approach to deconstructing and rebuilding denim classics. Where the earlier collections introduced sacai’s hybridized take on Levi’s® archetypes, the latest returns to the same thread and cloth as before while pushing the silhouettes further into new territory.
The 12-piece collection spans both men’s and women’s and centers on four key styles, each rendered in both rigid indigo and washed indigo: the Sherpa Jacket, the Blouson Jacket, the Belted Wide Pants, and the Belted Flare Pants. Throughout, sacai’s signature sensibility – hybridizing contrasting textures and reinterpreting familiar patterns into unexpected new shapes – remains at the heart of the collection, transforming Levi’s® most enduring silhouettes into something distinctly Abe’s own.
The Sherpa Jacket carries forward a relaxed fit and continued indigo selvedge, wrapped in faux sherpa with genuine leather pocket detailing and carry-over trims consistent with the collection’s established wash story. Men’s and women’s versions share the same design language, though the men’s iteration adds side seam pockets not found on the women’s silhouette. Rounding out outerwear, the Blouson Jacket takes a more streamlined approach with a relaxed fit, sacai’s signature sleeve pocket, and a side seam vent on women’s. Elasticated cuffs and hem give the jacket a sculpted shape, while the continued wash and trims story ties it back to the rest of the line.
For bottoms, the Belted Wide Pants offers a loose, mid-rise fit in continued selvedge indigo fabric, finished with sacai specialty buttons at the belt loops and a carried-over belt detail. The Belted Flare Pants takes a standard-rise, flared approach, distinguished by welt back pockets layered above the traditional back pockets for a seven-pocket construction. Designed to be worn as a coordinated set or independently, the jackets and pants share matching washes, allowing each top to be paired with its corresponding bottom for a head-to-toe look.
Together, the four styles reflect the same spirit of reinterpretation that has defined the partnership since its start – sacai’s instinct for reworking familiar shapes brought once again to Levi’s® most enduring silhouettes.
The latest Levi’s® x sacai collection will be available starting September 29th exclusively at the Levi’s® x sacai pop-up at Landmark Hong Kong.
