Our Ellen Carpenter Knee jeans feature a fitted waist, carpenter knee accent patch, and an outwardly curved shape that finishes with a taper at the ankle. They have a high rise, hitting around the belly button. They come in two colours: black or indigo.
All of our jeans are designed to fit an hourglass body type with a smaller waist and bigger hips. In other brands, this may be referred to as a "curvy fit".

Size Chart
Our jeans are designed for the "hourglass" body type, leaving more room for the hips while hugging the waist, and eliminating the dreaded waistband gap.
As a result, our fit chart looks a bit different from those of most fashion brands. Please measure your waist and hips carefully when determining your size. For a looser fit, size up.
If you'd like some help determining your size, you can book a fitting with us, either virtually on in-person, or attend one of our pop-ups to try on jeans in your size.
