Levi's and sacai Reveal Third Denim Collaboration
Levi's and sacai have unveiled a 12-piece collaborative denim collection, reworking four core silhouettes. The drop starts with a Hong Kong pop-up on September 29, 2026, followed by a global release on September 30.
Levi's and Japanese fashion label sacai have announced their third collaborative capsule, a 12-piece denim collection for men and women. Designed under the guidance of sacai founder Chitose Abe, the range reinterprets classic Levi's silhouettes through a hybrid of rigid and washed indigo fabrics.
Chitose Abe's deconstructive approach is applied to four key designs. Each piece is offered in both a rigid, raw selvedge indigo and a softer washed indigo finish.
Core Collection Pieces
The collection is built around two jackets and two pants styles. The Sherpa Jacket combines a relaxed selvedge denim shell with faux shearling lining and leather pocket details. Men's versions include additional side seam pockets.
The Blouson Jacket features a more sculpted shape, defined by sacai's signature utility sleeve pocket and elasticated cuffs. The women's iteration of this jacket includes side seam vents.
For the bottoms, the Belted Wide Pants offer a loose, mid-rise cut with detailed belt loops and an integrated belt. The Belted Flare Pants use a standard-rise, flared leg built with a complex seven-pocket construction. This design layers welt back pockets directly on top of traditional patch pockets.
Release Dates and Locations
The drop follows a tiered release schedule. According to the brands, the collection will first be available exclusively at a Levi's x sacai pop-up at Landmark Hong Kong on September 29, 2026.
The global launch follows the next day. The full collection will be available worldwide (excluding Japan) on September 30, 2026, through Levi's own channels and sacai retail stores. The Japanese market receives the collection a day later, on October 1, 2026.

Design Philosophy and Styling
The entire capsule continues the partnership's focus on hybridizing classic American workwear with Japanese avant-garde tailoring. Each garment is designed to function as a standalone statement piece or to be worn together as a full denim ensemble. The collection-specific trims and detailed pocket constructions are hallmarks of Abe's detailed design ethos.
The looks are intended to create a coordinated, head-to-toe denim set. The release marks the latest chapter in a partnership that consistently focuses on reconstructing heritage archetypes.
