Low rise. Hand made.
long flare.
Seven new pairs of Y2K denim — embroidery, butterflies, lace and leopard, finished by hand in one studio. Small runs, never restocked.
Drop 04
Denim that behaves like couture.
Every pair is cut low on the hip, held close through the thigh and released into a flare wide enough to change the way you walk. Embroidery, butterflies, lace and leopard are finished by hand — the detail you only see up close, and the reason nobody can place where they are from.
The collection
Seven pairs. Drop 04.
Why they hit different.
01
The rise
A true early-2000s low rise. It sits below the natural waist and lengthens everything above it.
02
The details
Embroidery, appliqué butterflies, lace panels and rivets, stitched into the denim rather than laid over it.
03
The flare
A long, heavy flare that covers the shoe and gives the leg one uninterrupted line.
04
The hands
Every pair is cut and finished by hand in the studio. Between 30 and 40 pairs per colourway, then the run is closed forever.
Look closer
The detail does the talking.
How to wear them
One pair. The whole outfit.

Wildflower
I wanted embroidery that looked like it grew there — no symmetry, no pattern repeat. The ivory thread on a faded mid wash feels like a pair you found in someone's attic in 2003. Wear it with a baby tee and let the flowers do the talking.
Drop 04
Onyx Blossom
Washed black is my comfort zone, so I broke it with the softest blossom I could draw. It trails down both legs, never in a straight line — I like that it feels a little off-balance. Pointed boots, black top, done.
Drop 04
Butterfly Patch
The butterflies are cut from the same denim and left to fray, so every wash makes them a little messier — that's the point. Curved seams stretch the leg out forever. This is the pair I'd pick for a festival.
A note from the founder
I ruined four pairs of jeans on my kitchen floor before one held.
I started Vylte in my second year of art school because I was sick of denim that only looked good in the photo. Everything in shops was safe, stretchy, and made by a machine that had never met a person.
So I taught myself to sew lace into denim. Badly, at first. I ruined four pairs on my kitchen floor before the first one held. Every pair we ship is still cut and finished by hand in a tiny studio — which is exactly why there are only a handful of each colourway.
If you buy a pair, you own something almost nobody else has. That's the whole point.
