Kasil Jeans
Kasil jeans were born from the unique synthesis of an appreciation for refined, modern style with the traditions of a family business. After receiving a degree in Fine Arts painting and sculpture, designer David Lim returned to Los Angeles to work as a costumer on Hollywood film sets. There he experimented with fashion trends and techniques, and developed his tailoring skills. Recognizing his natural disposition towards design, Lim’s father invited his son to join the family business; a custom boutique for an elite clientele that the family has owned and operated since 1968. Lim began working with the celebrities, film executives and professional athletes who were his father’s customers, creating impeccably tailored and unique designs they couldn’t find anywhere else. While producing these exclusive and high-end looks, Lim was inspired to design a pair of pants for himself. His clients were very impressed with his “dressed up” denim and Lim quickly began filling orders, soon after introducing women’s styles. In 2002 Lim founded the Kasil brand as designer and CEO with only four staff members; today Kasil employs eighteen men and women in their Los Angeles headquarters and supports the local community with all manufacturing and production done exclusively in southern California
