**Prps** is a [New York](/source/New_York_City)-based luxury fresh [denim](/source/Denim) brand that was established in 2002[1] by former [Nike](/source/Nike,_Inc.) designer, [Donwan Harrell](/source/Donwan_Harrell). The brand motto is "Bruised, never broken".

There are three Prps brands:

- Prps Noir - Prices range from $650-$1500
- Prps - Prices range from $425-$695
- Prps Goods & Co. - Prices range from $185-$475. All tops are under the Goods & Co brand

Prps jeans are manufactured in [Japan](/source/Japan). The denim used for the manufacture of the jeans is Japanese and Zimbabwean cotton.[2] The Japanese manufacturer of the jeans uses looms from the 1960s similar to the type that were used to produce denim for [Levi's](/source/Levi's). PRPS goods were originally all made in Japan. Due to increased demand, PRPS Goods and co. was created to offer Prps designs to a larger audience. Many Prps goods still use quality materials and authentic distressing yet are produced in China. Prps leather jackets are [made in Italy](/source/Made_in_Italy).

Harrell says that the manufacturing process was inspired by denim worn by workers before it became popular as an everyday fashion.[citation needed] The designer launched a women's range in the US in September 2008 and will be launching in Europe and Asia in January 2009.

Some of the distinguishing features of Prps jeans include a folded back pocket, the purple tab on the back pocket, different colored buttons on the fly, and purple line selvage.[citation needed]
