It all started when Tato Bardelle, the founder of the brand, could not find a suitable pair of jeans that were comfortable and that he could wear in a formal setting. For this reason, he set out to find the perfect pair of jeans. After thorough research, Bardelle ended up with Japanese Kurabo denim. A denim fabric that contains a certain stretch technique. By using this fabric the Jacob Cohen jeans are not only elegant but also very comfortable. The use of this high-quality fabric together with a special washing process with Greek pumice gives the product a good lifetime.
Jacob Cohen was the name of an Italian tailor from the Veneto region. The region is known for the world-famous city of Venice. Contrary to what anyone would expect, Jacob Cohen was not the founder of the brand. The founder is Tato Bardelle who gave the name to his brand as a tribute to the tailor who had already passed away at the time. The tailor was known for his timeless and artistic designs. Besides that he passed away around the age of 50, not much is known about Jacob Cohen. Tato’s Son, Nicola Bardelle, took over from his father in 2003. This benefited the brand as, thanks to Nicola’s creative entrepreneurial brain, the brand is now available in over 40 countries around the world.
When Nicola Bardelle passed away suddenly in 2012, the company took a big hit. Nicola’s wife Jennifer had been strongly associated with the company from the beginning. And so she took the hoist as creative director to her and continued to work on her husband Nicola’s ideals. Since Nicola took over from his father, there was already some creation for ladies, but the full Jacob Cohen ladies line is still quite young. The Jacob Cohen women’s clothing follows the ideals of the company or elegance and comfort characterize the line. Nestor behind the release of Jacob Cohen women’s jeans is Nicola’s wife, Jennifer Tomassi.
