Lucky Brand is an American denim company founded in Vernon, California in 1990 by Gene Montesano and Barry Perlman.

After leaving Bongo, Montesano joined former business partner Perlman in 1990 to launch Lucky Brand.

The jeans maker moved to a new downtown office located at 540 S. Santa Fe near the historic 4th and 6th Street Bridges.

[5] In December 2013, Leonard Green & Partners acquired Lucky Brand Jeans for $225 million from Fifth & Pacific Companies.

In 2006, the company opened Lucky Brand Jeans Kid stores, which exclusively sell their children's clothing.

They are currently made in Indonesia, China, Peru, Chile, Vietnam, Mexico, Sri Lanka and Haiti.

Lucky jeans manufactured in the United States are hand-made in Los Angeles, and the detailing is done by hand, except for the washing process.

In the United Arab Emirates and Australia, Lucky products can be found in David Jones department stores.

Another way the Foundation has been consistently successful at accomplishing their set goal is through the annual Black Tie & Blue Jeans Gala, which has a record of raising approximately $6 million for numerous children's charities including: Smile Train, Camp Sundown, Island Dolphin Care, Shane's Inspiration and The Bridge School.
