Are you a little bored with your jeans?
Instead of hauling your denim down to INA for resale, Urbanista Jessica urges everyone to stop by Barneys.
From now through August 19th, you can visit any Barneys Co-op or flagship store, and donate your old jeans to a good cause.
Each pair you give will benefit the charity Big Brothers Big Sisters, which pairs at-risk children with mentors.
In case helping kids in need isn’t enough to get you to part with your denim, Barneys is sweetening the deal:
when you donate a pair of jeans (they don’t have to be from a label Barneys sells), you’ll get 20% off the purchase of a new pair from the likes of Earnest Sewn, J Brand, Seven, and A.P.C. Barneys also sells Cheap Monday and TopShop, and 20% off of those jeans can leave you with a new pair for $40 – $70.
Clean out your closet – you’re never going to wear those red ones from BDG anyway…

Is it 20% off per pair of jeans you donate or just a flat 20% off if you donate 1 pair or 12 pairs?

Quoth the Barneys website fine print:
“Each denim donation item is valid for only 1 new denim item”.
So, if you want 20% off three pairs of new jeans, you have to donate 3 pairs of old jeans.

Thanks. Thats a pretty good deal though. Especially if I donate sophmore year of high school american eagles and express jeans. and get cheap mondays and earnests in return.

This is a great idea.

thanks for this post!

what are the jeans in the photo? i’m sort of in love with them. help a girl out!

Aren’t they great?
They’re Chip and Pepper’s Stella Neff jeans.
