Imogene + Willie is just one of those spaces you walk into and immediately feel at home. These Tennessee makers do denim and they do it well in a revamped gas station that also houses found treasures, accessories and small stations for both Warby Parker and Aesop.

Sometimes a story just sticks with you, as is the case with Carrie and Matt's quest to create, sell and develop a community around good jeans (watch theirs here). I+W is, at its heart, a story of the American dream and what's more American than a great transformative pair of denim?

Carefully curated and filled to the brim with special little touches (like the original sign from when the space was Granny White Service Station), Imogene + Willie has grown to become one of my favorite new places to visit. Don't forget to stop by Aislerchic for Aissa's take on our trip!

p.s. I'm crazy for the "Elizabeth" denim!

A huge thank you to the Imogene + Willie team in Nashville for letting us roam the space, talking me through the amazing tailoring process and being the very picture (literally) of Southern hospitality!
