Founded in 2006, Denim and Silk is a company that produces a distinctive line of casual and formal jackets that feature the salient characteristics of two artistic styles -- the American West and Asia. The spirit of the American West is reflected in the universality and popularity of denim and the spirit of Asia is readily observed in vibrant colors and patterns of silks, rich brocades and antique obis.

The co-founders of Denim and Silk, Valerie Cadogan and Lucinda Summerfield, have residences in Colorado and Oregon respectively, and combined they have lived for more than twenty-five years in Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong.

The two underlying principles that govern the philosophy of Denim and Silk are to fuse these distinctive styles in a product that is both affordable and high quality and to allow customers to participate in individually designing their jackets. This added dimension makes each jacket unique and reflective of the owner.
