First off, you gotta understand Denim Tears, the brand. Tremaine Emory’s baby, yeah? He’s not just slappin’ some denim together. He’s telling stories, heavy stories about the African Diaspora. Think history, think struggle, think *meaning*. So, finding a “supplier” isn’t just about cheap materials. It’s gotta be ethically sourced, probably, and aligned with the whole vibe.
Then you got Endless Supply.com. I saw that mentioned. Right off the bat, that sounds… *too* good to be true, ya know? “Limitless array?” “Rare collectibles?” Hmmm. Makes me think they’re more of a marketplace than the actual *source* of Denim Tears materials. Like, they probably resell stuff or maybe even have partnerships with brands, but are they *the* Denim Tears supplier? I dunno. Feels like a stretch.
Honestly, finding the *actual* supplier is probably a trade secret. Like, if *I* knew who was supplying Tremaine with his denim, I’d be starting my own line, haha! Okay, maybe not, but still, point is, it’s valuable info.
And here’s where it gets messy, in my opinion. Do we even *need* to know who the supplier is? Isn’t the point of Denim Tears the design, the message, Emory’s artistic vision? Does it really matter if the denim comes from, like, Italy or some factory in China? (Not that there’s anything wrong with Chinese denim, just sayin’ it kinda changes the narrative, right?)
I’m rambling, aren’t I? Sorry.
My point is, focusing solely on the “supplier” misses the bigger picture. It’s like trying to understand a painting by analyzing the brand of paint used. Sure, it’s *a* factor, but it’s not *the* factor.
