Conclusion
For us, vintage Levi’s are interesting. They have history and origin stories with meaning. Salvaging and owning such items makes sense from our collectors’ mindset.
In comparison, gemstones and precious metals fastened into jeans are something we don’t understand and are clearly for the rich and famous. As collectors, we’d prefer to have those precious metals and gemstones in a safe, rather than on our backsides. Fashionistas we are not.
