"It’s so exciting when a little one sizes up with me."
-Jessi Stumbo, Owner
Rogue Denim is a fairly new shop based out of Eastern Kentucky offering distressed and dyed apparel. Having only been open a little over a year, the owner, Jessi, has grown her shop steadily by providing high-quality, stylish options for the whole family.
Rogue Denim offers at least two drops per month which include hand-distressed and tie-dyed denim pieces. Jessi opened the shop due to a desire to make unique pieces for her daughter, Elaina, but her goals have grown to include a desire to create a better life for her family and to grow her small shop family. Her daughter remains the main source of joy and inspiration for Jessi's hard work but being on her team makes you part of her family. She treats her reps and customers like family; She always strives to give them the very best no matter who they are or how long they've shopped with her. She loves watching her customers' kids grow up wearing clothes that she has hand-altered. She said, "It’s so exciting when a little one sizes up with me."
Although she offers a variety of styles and options, Jessi's most favorite pieces to create are her tie-dyed denim pieces. She loves how each piece turns out completely unique; like a one-of-a-kind piece of art specially made for each child.
We always ask shop owners about the significance of their shop's name. This particular small shop has one of the more unique meanings behind the name. Jessi explained, "Rogue was actually a person in my life. He was an army veteran and a MedEvac pilot. He was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident on October 11, 2018. My life was drastically changed by his death. My shop was named in his honor." What a great daily reminder her shop’s name will be to her. A very special shop indeed.
Every kid and mama alike needs that go-to pair of distressed jeans so next time you are on the hunt be sure to check out Rogue Denim. You will feel right at home shopping with Jessi for all of your denim needs.
