Hello, I'm Adele and I founded ALC in 2012 because I knew it was possible to find the perfect pair of jeans. Since then ALC has been curating an edit of the best denim brands and styles on the market in our little Shop on Thistle Street, Edinburgh. The team have been there, tried it, got the expertise, and are here to decipher your denim dilemmas.
I'm the owner of ALC. The last (almost) 8 years of my life have been dedicated to solving your denim dilemmas. Prior to that you would have found me working in other retailers and studying all things fashion! My Style Icon has to be Olivia Palermo. She's the type that could wear a bin bag and make it look good and is an advocate of Paige and Frame Denim.
A staple for your everyday wardrobe, jeans are more than just clothing. Here you'll find our online denim selection. We have more styles in-store so if there's a specific fit you're looking for, send us an email. Shop by Brand Boyish Current/Elliott Denham DL1961 Dr Denim Frame Paige Tomorrow Denim Twist & Tango.
Whether you're seeking a classic straight leg jean or you've got your heart set on a pair of killer skinnies, our denim guide will help you find the perfect fit, for every occasion. No wardrobe would be complete without the iconic skinny jean. Once a no-go shape for many, the modern skinny jean is now so versatile it can be worn for work or play.

I can't rate this shop highly enough. I buy all my jeans from ALC, and have picked up some great tops and accessories too. Adele is welcoming, friendly and honest. She really listens and understands what you are looking for and offers good advice and opinions. She is never pushy with sales has even talked me out of buying jeans I didn't need! Fantastic small shop with a great range of clothes.

ALC has been opened awhile but I've never quite ventured in despite practically being on Thistle Street several times a month. It does 'high end' jeans and womens clothing and I always thought the clothes might be too expensive or just too skinny for me - that was a mistake!
I had been following ALC on twitter and when I saw details of a sale, I had to pop in. Recently, I've been losing weight. My jeans were never the best fitting as I'd always compromised between waist fit and thigh fit but losing weight meant I actually felt massive in my old jeans so I'd resorted
