An Urban Development

City of Others Denim

Three months’ rent. A Cartier Tank watch. Head-to-toe laser hair removal. All things that cost the same as the designer jean collection lining your closet.

Finally, there’s a luxe denim line that won’t put you at risk for eviction.

New L.A. line City of Others makes premium denim at discount-style prices (all pairs are $99 a pop). Also ahead of the curve? The company’s charitable credo.

Every jean comes with a bar code that, once plugged into the brand’s interactive website, lets owners donate a portion of net profits to a good cause like Invisible Children, which works to improve the lives of children affected by war in Northern Uganda, or The Art of Elysium, which provides artistic workshops for seriously ill kids.

And that’s a cost-benefit ratio that should make sense to anybody.

Available at Epic Apparel, 3699 McKinney Avenue, suite 105b, West Village (214-522-3745 or shopepic.com). Mention DailyCandy and receive 15 percent off all jeans through August 15.
