Everybody knows that the older the denim, the more coveted (read: expensive) it is.

But for those of you who aren't in the habit of scouring the racks at The Salvation Army, we've found just the thing to mimic that vintage look without all that vintage dirt.

James Jeans has recently announced the launch of their new Premium label which features an updated wash that's actually hand painted on by a team of "specialists" as well as upgrades galore, from the hardware to the threading.

Already adored by former friends Courteney and Jen and slated as the sole denim sponsor at this year's Sundance Festival, these jeans are definitely taking their turn on the celebrity circuit.

No ifs, ands or butts about it...

The James Jeans Premium label is currently available at Barneys New York. It will launch nationwide in April.
