Today the brand manufactures men’s and women’s wear, shoes, as well as accessories. The style of the brand is universal and functional. Acne Jeans collections present laconical made to measure jeans models made from natural cotton as well as luxurious accessories. These jeans are skinny and straight and emphatically minimalistic. This deliberate simplicity makes customized denim by Acne timeless and extremely competitive.

Besides once a year the company issues a magazine called “Acne Paper” in which new collections of the brand are presented. Today Acne Jeans has 450 boutiques in Italy, France, USA, Sweden, Japan and many other countries all over the world.
