It is always a pleasure to combine collections with personal work and hobbies. After graduating from the costume design department at the Charlish College of Art in England, Anderson Lee has been engaged in denim apparel design for more than a decade by chance. From Hong Kong, he returned to the Mainland several years ago and has won the "2001 Dalian Top Ten Design Brand Award" and 2003/2004 Guangdong International Jeans Top Ten Designers.

Jeans used canvas fabric, more wearable, not afraid of dirty, not afraid of breaking is not afraid of the old, and jeans do not wash for a long time there is no problem, wear longer will be more comfortable.

In addition, because jeans can have thousands of changes, full of fashion, it is sought after by beauty lovers.

Anderson's collection of jeans based on brand, vintage, and number of releases is just an elementary collection, which is the easiest way to collect. People who really can play jeans should not be stuck with this rule.

At the time, it cost HK$750 to buy back. Now the jeans have appreciated. To 2000 Hong Kong dollars.
