Now these denims haven&#8217;t just seen the light of day but also keep getting better with every wash! I cant take the credit for them, they were customised by my Miss Chouchou herself while I was busy Dalmation-ing up a crop jacket.

I have been reaching straight for my  Hayley Scanlan PVC bomber where I used to go never stray far from my leather biker.
