It’s time for props for another one of our favorite Ebay sellers for authentic designer denim. Today we are featuring HipsLikeMonroe (who by the way, does NOT have Marilyn Monroe hips, damn girl, we wish we had a figure like you!) She is also a member of HonestForum.
We love the fact that HipsLikeMonroe models all her auctions (and her hubby models the guy’s stuff) so we can see exactly how jeans fit, and she uses lots of photos. In fact, her photos are so nice, many other sellers try to steal them! She also points out to people in all her auctions to WATCH OUT FOR FAKES, which we love. She sells brands like True Religion, Rock & Republic, Diesel and more! Best of all, she has 100% feedback - something rare to find these days on Ebay!

TRAGEDY! When your favorite pair of Rock and Republics RIP!
If this has happened to you, you are NOT alone.
We (the lovers of Rock and Republic) have noticed that certain washes of Rock and Republic to be prone to ripping. This does not pertain to all washes but only the examples that we have been given based upon occurances in the past.
There are steps you can take to get them replaced by Rock and Republic and not have to write them off as a total loss, provided that they were purchased from an Authorized Retailer.
1. Receipt - You will need to provide a receipt from an authorized retailer such as Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, etc. I have heard that receipts from Saks Off Fifth and Nordstrom Rack do not work, but I would double check since a brand should always stand behind their products.
2. Form - You will need to fill out a form that may be attained from Rock and Republic and fax in the form along with a legible copy of the receipt. Rock and Republic will then contact you with futher instructions. (The form is also available via one of the links listed below.)
Tragic it may be however this will never deter me from wearing my favorite brand! I personally have never had any issues with my Rock and Republic Jeans *knock on wood*. I love the gorgeous washes and beautiful pockets that Rock and Republic designs and will continue to wear them!

Sugar Cane: A Japanese company makes jeans out of a blend of sugar cane and selvage denim. The cane used is Sweet Sorghum, otherwise known as Sweet Millet or Sugar Millet. It’s a type of grass grown all over the world for making a molasses-like syrup and animal feed. The Sugarcane jeans that feature this fiber have a faint sweet smell and may have occasional woody tufts poking out of the fabric. Some jeans are dyed with persimmon.
