Jacob Cohën
THE JACOB COHËN PRODUCT PHILOSOPHY
Jacob Cohën jeans were born with a precise idea: to be the first luxury denim, to be worn even on more formal occasions.
A luxury that had never been seen in the casual world, and that combines Italian manufacturing skill with the highest quality denim fabrics,
with infinite comfort and creativity, and together with refined stylistic research.
Maniacal attention to detail, precious touches like jewel buttons, sartorial finishes, unique back label in fine materials:
every Jacob Cohën jean travels with an Italian pedigree and a cosmopolitan passport.
And that's why every Jacob Cohën is truly special: a classic, yet collectible.
Each Jacob Cohën jean is the result of a long series of steps, but the actual result exceeds the simple sum of the addends. Like when the same dish is prepared by different cooks. Or the same book is read by different people.
In Jacob Cohën workshops there are those who design, those who cut, those who sew, those who embroider: in an endless series of inescapable steps. And then there are those who wear. And, as in a kiss, it is not a matter of chemistry alone, but of love. In every Jacob Cohën garment there is passion, dedication, attention, research. And love.
Each Jacob Cohën is the result of more than 100 hours of careful steps, performed under the eye of expert technicians. Hours of continuous quality control, of product care that is the essence of Made in Italy, the essence of a luxury product that by virtue of this, must last forever.
Every Jacob Cohën has its own DNA: the canvases all come from the best premium denim suppliers in the world. From Italy, from Japan, with the famous selvedge canvases. All have an intrinsic quality that speaks of tradition and innovation, sustainability and preciousness.
Moreover, the workshops where each jean is assembled are the same ones that saw the birth of the brand, and they are all located in that industrious Veneto region whose soul is linked to the perfection of the Jacob Cohën product.
This is how the luxury idea of a Jacob Cohën jean is really born:
It all starts with a drawing, a pattern, which in turn becomes an endless series of measurements, codes, lengths and proportions. What was once the paper pattern design now becomes, in the companies working for Jacob Cohën, one of the most technologically advanced processes. Digitized, the pattern is broken down into different parts that are projected with a laser onto the fabric, lining or denim. Each cut is of millesimal precision. Denim cutting, for example, is done with state-of-the-art machinery: having scanned the patterns, a sharp blade makes the cut on about 50 denim layers, pressed together to eliminate any air bubbles.
The result is not only perfect in terms of yield, but ideal and necessary so that no fabric is wasted. Only highly skilled workers can operate these machines, the best on the market.

"Go to bed with a dream, wake up with a purpose"
Nicola Bardelle
For several days Jennifer and Nicola had been going up and down those bridges that had become almost like a second home to them.
Sometimes a glance was enough to understand how to bring to life that idea scrawled on a sheet of paper.
Stitch by stitch, a finishing touch here and a cut there, their tailor-made dream was taking shape.

about us
Everything started with a dream realized by the creative genius of Nicola Bardelle in the early 2000s, is now carried forward today by the creative direction of his wife Jennifer. Jacob Cohën was originally devised as a made in Italy denim collection, where denim design for the first time was presented as a status symbol. It proposed a concept of casual yet sophisticated looks that would later become widely recognized as essential in the fashion world.
Jacob Cohën has always combined continuous stylistic research, skillful craftsmanship, superior quality and comfort of excellence. Today the brand is the reference point of daily luxury understood as a way of thinking, living and dressing.
Luxury denim, which means luxury lifestyle.
Starting from the timeless five pockets, cropped denim and truckers, Jacob Cohën's aesthetic is characterized by the almost obsessive attention to detail including jewel buttons, iconic salpe and sartorial finishes carefully developed by the company's artisan workshop.
The search for the highest quality raw materials, including the best selvedge fabrics and fine Japanese denim, is still the driving force of the brand, which over the years has applied its luxury attitude to the creation of total looks for women and men.
Our clothing is both refined and comfortable, intended to be worn and reinterpreted for any occasion. Reimagining one’s wardrobe with a timeless take on fashion that wants to express its value in an exclusive yet casual way, from season to season.
The Jacob Cohën habitué live in pursuit of casual glamor, new but classy, both distinctive and outside the ordinary boundaries of traditional design.
Our denim surpasses the conventional concepts surrounding it and becomes a true passepartout for everything that is elegance and comfort.
A denim always renewed, thanks to the combination with other items from the Jacob Cohën collection, for the creation of the elegant casual and a new workwear concept. This is done without sacrificing the impeccable fit of the sartorial construction, the excellence of the raw materials, and the deep study of color and differentiating details.
Thanks to a creative direction committed to carrying on Nicola's dream, along with the contribution of a style team capable of sustaining the brand DNA through the constant search for innovation of details and raw materials. Every single Jacob Cohën garment is conceived, designed and built to be universally recognizable and unique in nature.
The research on denim continues in the spirit of excellence, with constant focus on the design of each collection and through the creation of the highly anticipated seasonal limited editions.
Additionally, there are two new collections, tailoring for men and couture for women, where the selection of fabrics, the set of finishes and the fabrication of garments are taken to an even more exclusive level.
Today Jacob Cohën extends its philosophy of luxury lifestyle into a home line of fragrances, a kids collection, and a footwear collection designed to complete a total Jacob Cohën look for men and women.
From the presence in the top boutiques around the world to the ambitious horizons of expansion of the single-brand distribution, Jacob Cohen continues to thread the symbolic indigo blue yarn that from the beginning has represented a weave of dreams and passions, transforming ideas into garments to be touched.
A spiritual and refined blue, at the same time bright, dynamic and constantly evolving.
A unique and always recognizable blue.
Just like Nicola Bardelle, with his unforgettable joie de vivre and his statement “go to bed with a dream, wake up with a purpose” that continues to inspire the present and future of Jacob Cohën.
