What premium actually means, by the person who created it
Mott & Bow was built out of frustration, and perfected through obsession
Discover what makes us differentthe brand
"I grew up in a family that had a denim manufacturing facility, and every summer I used to work there. I saw the ins and outs of the industry. As I grew up, I appreciated premium clothing, I just hated overpaying for it, and I knew I could deliver a premium product at an affordable price.
The goal of the brand is to create products that people reach for every single day."
Honesty
Alejandro grew up inside a denim factory. He knew the fabrics, the costs, the margins, and exactly where the industry was overcharging you. Mott & Bow exists because someone with that knowledge decided to do something about it.
But Better
We design fewer products on purpose. Every piece has to earn its place. We obsess over every detail, from the way a fabric is dyed to the way a seam sits. You may not spot them, but you'll feel the difference the moment you put our clothes on—and that's a Mott & Bow guarantee.
Become Yours
You know that first tee you grab from a fresh load of laundry? The jeans you reach for without thinking? That's what we're building toward. Not clothes that impress you once, but those that become your favorite.
I've always loved expensive things, but I hated paying for them. So I set out to create the premium products I loved, at a fairer price."
Designing is easy. You can sketch and sketch and sketch, make the products, throw them out there, and see what the customer might vote for. But when you're an item-focused, premium quality-focused brand, it takes a really long time to get to the premium product."
We're actively trying to design less items in the collection, because we want to focus on very few products that we can really excel at and make a difference. The pieces we put out there, we want them to be a favorite in the consumer's closet"

Stone
"This gray jean is the product that I think embodies the brand. There are multiple gray jeans in the market but I think we did it best with the color, the softness of the fabric, and the look of it. It's subtle but premium. Less is more is our belief, and this jean exemplifies that."
"The Stone gives us two very beautiful shades of gray that bridge the gap between casual and formal. The fabric is a left-hand weave, which gives it a certain type of softness that makes it even more comfortable to wear than your regular indigo denim. I believe denim should be able to be worn in different ways, and the Stone does that. You can dress it up easily: pair a white tee and a blazer with it and you're good for dinner or date night.

"The Mercer is one of my favorites. It almost does the job of a chino or a pant. It's a clean 5-pocket, and we have it in so many colors. That's why I think it's one of the bestsellers, aside from it being comfortable, soft and durable"
- ALEJANDRO"The Mercer looks a bit more like a chino but wears with the durability of jeans. The beauty of the fabric is that it can be dyed into any color, and we actually offer about a dozen different washes because the demand has been so high. It's the perfect alternative for someone tired of blue jeans".

Crosby
"The Crosby is one of the darkest washes that we offer, and it's one of our dressier jeans. We designed it to be very wearable: it's that jean you can wear to the office, and from there to dinner or to a date, without having to change. You can pair it with a button-down shirt and a blazer. It's a slim fit. and the details are very simple and clean. The hardware isn't flashy, it's kind of toned down. These are the things that we pay a lot of attention to in men's denim."
- MARITA
"I think the leather patch we use is very classy. It stands out and it's not seen in the marketplace by any other premium denim brands".
-MARITAWe keep it very clean and very classic, but not boring. I think it's very important to also know that our denim is current, all our jeans look current: you can wear them year after year and you'll still look well put together".
