Women's 501

The World’s Original Blue Jeans

No style represents a legacy better than Levi's® Women's 501 Jeans. Crafted since 1873, women's 501 jeans are globally recognised for their iconic straight-leg fit, worn by generations of women who refused to follow the rules. 

For over 150 years, Levi's® has stood for quality, authenticity and self-expression, and the women's 501 jean sits at the heart of that story. As the first jean ever made, it grew from a humble workwear staple into one of the world's most recognised garments.

The straight leg, the button fly, the signature high rise. These aren't just design details; they're the defining features of a cultural icon that has shaped the way women dress for over a century.

The “Oldest” Jeans You’ll Ever Wear

Women's 501 jeans are famously known for getting better with every wear. Unlike most denim, the 501® is crafted from sturdy, non-stretch fabric that softens and moulds to your body over time. The longer you wear women's 501 jeans, the more they stop feeling like something you bought and start feeling like something you built.

It’s why women hold onto their 501® jeans for years, even decades. Built from quality denim, women's 501 jeans are not just a purchase. They are an investment in a garment that only gets better with age.
