“I’m wearing a vintage haori jacket that I found a at flea market in Japan, mesh dress from a shop called (me) in Tokyo, the top is from Ziran, vintage Levi’s from Stella Dallas, shoes from Shop Pêche, kinchaku bag from a vintage shop in Tokyo, and I made all the jewelry for my brand Aveta Studio. I’m currently inspired by Tokyo and Shanghai street style.”

A 140-Year-Old Pair of Levi’s Found in a Gold Mine Sell for Over $87,000
Turns out gold isn’t the only valuable thing you can find in a mine.
A pair of vintage Levi’s discovered in an abandoned mine shaft in the American West recently sold for $87,400 at an auction in New Mexico. The jeans, which date back to the 1880s, were unearthed by self-described “denim archaeologist” Michael Harris several years ago before they were snapped up by a pair of vintage-clothing dealers at the Durango Vintage Festivus on October 1.
As Levi’s of this age rarely come up at auction, they are especially sought-after among collectors. This particular pair, which are apparently still in a wearable condition, features splatters of wax from the candles miners used to light the narrow tunnels. Other notable details that are specific to jeans of this era include a cloth patch along the beltline, a buckleback adjuster along the seat, suspender buttons and a single back pocket.
In addition, there is a label on the inside of the jeans that reads: “The only kind made by white labor.” Levi’s told the WSJ the company introduced the slogan after the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which barred Chinese workers from entering the US at a time of rampant discrimination. In fact, Levi’s even had an anti-Chinese labor policy in place during this time.
“It’s wild to see that,” Haupert added. “That’s how old these jeans are.”
The slogan and policy were both scrapped in the 1890s, according to a Levi’s spokesperson, who added that the brand is “wholly committed to using our platform and our voice to advocate for real equality and to fight against racism in all its forms.” The Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed in 1943 and later condemned by Congress in 2011-2012.

“90s kid in the heart, I’m inspired by the early millennial times. My jeans are Levi’s, skirt is vintage Ralph Lauren, shirt and jacket are vintage as well, bag and jewelry are all thrifted. My shoes are docs.”
