Denim Review & Giveaway: Meltin’ Pot Jeans (CLOSED)

by Jaime on June 2, 2010

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Italian jeans just suit my soul so wonderfully… especially ones as lovely as these Meltin’ Pot jeans. The Mika style fits my preferred denim aesthetic perfectly: slim, with a clean medium wash and a comfortable fit.

And, let’s be honest… a little stretch in your denim never hurts!

This Italian-based line has been around for quite some time, but hasn’t really gotten the stateside recognition I believe it deserves. After all, the jeans are flattering, well-made and affordably priced (at around $130 US for the Mika!)… what’s not to love?

I will admit, they’re hard to find in the states. It’s kind of disappointing (though Yoox has been known to carry a decent selection), but if you can get your hands on a pair, I’d highly recommend it. I’m a little put off by the metallic decor on the back pocket and label, but I wear tunics and oversized tees almost exclusively… it’s an easy fix.

I’m wearing the 26/32 (that’s 26 waist, 32″ inseam), and it fits quite True to Size. Those of you who are in between sizes like me, I’d recommend going for the larger size.

With a front rise at my favorite length (8″), I’m happy and quite comfortable in these, and I know you will be too.

WIN a pair of Meltin’ Pot Mika Skinnies!

Main entry

I like the graphics on the webpage ’cause of it’s cool people flying on blimps which seems to represent their tag line “I dream I am”
I also like the name “Melting Pot” It’s such a unique name for a company since melting pot sounds like something a chocolate company would be called.

I agree with Jules – I think the fact that they have free shipping is huge! I generally avoid all international sites b/c shipping costs a fortune.

You can choose the language on the site by selecting your country so as it is not just in Italian!!

When I clicked on the site, it gives an option of countries, the only one that speaks English on the list was Ireland, so I picked that to get english! Anyways, I like the Marlyne capris. Very cute!

First & foremost, I love that it is Italian! I am in love with Italy & all things related ;P … As far as the language on the website goes, I clicked on “United Kingdom” for an easy fix! I actually find this really convenient because I was going crazy trying to find the “English” button on a website today after everything turned to Spanish! Wheew. Lastly, I love the overall design of the website.
