Denim Tears

About Denim Tears

Denim Tears was founded in 2019 by designer Tremaine Emory. Each collection tells a story rooted in Black American history and the African Diaspora, translating personal and collective narratives into clothing. The label is known for its cotton wreath print, a recurring motif carrying that history through the range. Denim Tears has collaborated with Our Legacy, Stüssy, Levi's and Corteiz, and its work has featured in exhibitions at the SCAD Museum of Art and The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It runs flagship stores, called African Diaspora Goods, in New York and Atlanta, alongside its online shop.
