Levi’s® Blue Tab™ Redefines Japanese Denim with Silhouettes and Craft

If jeans are essential in your wardrobe and you're a fan of Japanese denim, you’re going to love this.
With a preview over the last weekend on August 15, 2025, Levi’s® is gearing up for the launch of its new Blue Tab™ collection in Hong Kong, set to drop on Aug. 21, with a second wave arriving in October. Designed for denim lovers who appreciate craftsmanship and culture, the collection blends premium Japanese fabric with reimagined silhouettes and a rich palette of washes, making it a bold evolution for the brand.

Crafted with top-tier denim from Japan’s Kaihara Mill, the Blue Tab™ line showcases the brand’s commitment to quality and detail. The silhouettes move beyond classic cuts, offering jackets, trousers, and layering pieces. A spectrum of washes,from raw indigo to sun-faded tones, adds depth and personality to each garment.
In an exclusive showcase we witnessed the collection unfold across four distinct, fashion-forward themes, each telling a story through texture, tone, and tailoring.
The Mariner draws inspiration from naval utility wear, featuring neppy selvedge denim and salt-washed finishes that evoke deep-sea hues. Outerwear is lightly quilted in satin, while bottoms are constructed with authentic detailing and transitional weight fabrics.
Santa Fe Shank channels the earthy elegance of the American Southwest. Using natural-toned Japanese denim with a desert sand rinse, the pieces offer convertible silhouettes and rugged hardware, making it perfect for adaptable styling across seasons.


Coming in October, The Moto brings a sleek, road-ready edge to the collection. Crafted from Japanese powder denim dyed black and washed for texture, the pieces emphasize flattering seam work and bold silhouettes designed for confident, fashion-forward wearers.
Finally, The Art of Embroidery showcases Levi’s® craftsmanship at its most intricate. Featuring embroidery that functions as both decoration and structural design, this theme transforms classic denim into textured, statement-making garments as a fusion of traditional technique and modern aesthetics.

Adding another layer of artistry to the preview experience was Bam-Blue, an installation by local artist Jinno Neko from Meow Kee (貓記紮作). Constructed from bamboo and Levi’s® denim, the piece fused Japanese koinobori motifs with traditional papier-mâché techniques, symbolizing strength, movement, and the future of denim design.
