The House

Mode Mercier is built on one premise — that there is enough denim already in the world. The brand sources end-of-life Levi's, Lee, and other heritage denim from estate sales, vintage wholesalers, and a partnership with a Brooklyn rag-trade collector, and reconstructs each piece in a small Brooklyn atelier. No two Mode Mercier pieces are exactly identical. The aesthetic is artful patchwork — different denim weights, washes, and provenances assembled into single garments — but the silhouettes are deliberately wearable: a clean wide-leg jean, a structured jacket, a maxi skirt.

Léo Mercier

Léo Mercier was born in Paris to a French father and Senegalese mother and moved to New York at twenty. He studied at Pratt and worked at a major denim brand for five years before founding Mode Mercier in 2021 to do upcycled denim properly.
