Today we’d like to introduce you to Fox and Jeff Garza.
Jeff: Born and raised in the Mojave Desert, he joined the Army immediately after high school. He served a 4 year contract in Field Artillery with 1 tour in Iraq (2003). After the military Jeff has been all over the place. He had his own skateboard shop in Oklahoma, did marketing & team management for skateboard & streetwear brands, has been “picking” everywhere he travels over the years, and even ran away and joined Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus… yes people still do that this day and age! He likes to keep moving and fortunately for Foxhole, it keeps the shop always re-stocked and full of new stories! Jeff & Fox’s first date was even at a swap meet so you can pretty much say they were supposed to meet and put their love of denim and finding fun junk together to create the Foxhole!
Fox: A Los Angeles native fashion designer & a 4th generation retail entrepreneur. Miss Fox was raised in a home of rockers, hippies and vintage fashion so she was naturally born into being obsessed with denim. Fox has been designing for the last 10 years in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Paris. She has also been repairing, repurposing, and recycling denim for years for friends and family. In 2011 she met the man of her dreams and they put their talents & passions together to create the Foxhole!
Has it been a smooth road?
Yes, we are business partners, soulmates and best friends. We know what it takes to make each other happy and we both want the same things in the end. A key component is having the same passion, dedication and work ethic as one another.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Foxhole story. Tell us more about the business.
DON’T THROW YOUR OLD JEANS AWAY QUITE YET….
Denim is one of the few materials that actually gets better with age. Super soft, stained, ripped, and the most amazing wash and wear patterns that can all help to tell a story about where the garment’s been. These characteristics make denim a PERFECT material to re-use and recycle into unique new pieces.
We make: Custom Pillows, Motorcycle Blankets, Ponchos, Purses, Dog Beds, Rugs, Bed Blankets and much more!!! We also repair holes in denim, can sew shirts or blankets to jackets, and offer a wide variety of customization to make a piece for you that’s a true one of kind every time.
We love collaborating with our customers, if we don’t have something already at the store that catches your eye then let’s make it!!!
