OK, so we all know Trims for
Jeans sell the latest and
greatest brands from around
the globe. And lets face it,
that’s what matters right now.
What you might not know
though, is that Trims has been
around for quite a while now.
“So what?” you may ask. Well,
it’s kind of an interesting, and
dare we say cool story.

Trims was actually started by
twins Alf and John. Which is
kind of funny, cause the
business could just as easily have been called ‘Twins’ instead of ‘Trims’. But seeing as their last name was actually Trim, they went with that. And fair enough too.
  After dabbling in reconditioned
clothing, hiring out clothing,
and keeping a pretty funky
range of antiques and
jewellery, they eventually
started keeping fashion brands
with a strong Aussie flavour
and a great reputation.

Then, in 1987, the Trim’s guys
thought “You know what?
Finding a decent pair of jeans
at an honest price is way too
hard”. And lucky for the good
people of Adelaide, they then
did something about it and
Trims quickly became famous
for selling more Levi’s than any
other store in the whole of the
Asia Pacific area. Pretty
impressive, eh?
  About ten years after that,
more and more people know to
go to Trims for jeans, so the
ever-practical team decide to
rename the department, well,
‘Trims for Jeans’. Not that
imaginative admittedly, but hey,
it was spot on. Which brings us
roughly up until the current
time. These days, there’s a few
more stores, a fancy new
logo, and the range is much
wider with global footwear and
fashion brands galore, but the
same idea of selling great
clothes at great prices remains
the same.
  So while it’s kind of weird to
think Trims once sold antiques
and jewellery, it’s nice to know
that if you’re looking for
something snazzy to wear, you
can still go to Trims for Jeans -
your ultimate denim
destination.
