8. We
note that goodwill of $6,479,218 and intangible assets (brand names) of $8,600,000 were recorded from the Bailey acquisition in February 2020.
We also note per your discussion of cost of net revenue in MD&A that you hired a new designer to create a "clean break in the
product collections" relating to Bailey. Please tell us how you determined that the purchased brand name was not further impaired
and that goodwill was not impaired as of September 30, 2020.
Response:
We respectfully believe we have assessed goodwill and intangible assets appropriately for impairment based on appropriate guidance.
It
is common for the apparel industry to hire new designers to inspire the brand and bring fresh designs and current trends to the brand's
vision. Additionally, historically the brand had a strong brand name and value, which we believe had been mismanaged. This new designer
has tapped into that historical brand reputation and value with her new designs, which has created positive reaction in our initial wholesale
market efforts, which we expect to be realized in the second half of 2021. We believe that the responses and purchase orders we have
received to date provide indication that the company's estimates during the impairment analysis remains reasonable and there are currently
no indications that additional impairments are necessary.
Regarding
the evaluation of goodwill impairment, we performed a quantitative step to assess the carrying value of the Baily unit against the estimated
fair value. In doing such, we estimated the fair value based on revenue multiples as we believed such to be the best indicator of fair
value for smaller companies that have not hit scale as traditional metrics like EBIDTA tend to be negative. We reviewed 3rd party information
for recent transactions to determine an average multiple. We then reviewed the Bailey annualized 2020 Bailey revenue and projected revenue,
using average multiples to get the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit resulted
in an amount greater than the carrying value. Accordingly, we respectfully conclude that there is no impairment and there are no additional
qualitative factors since our analysis that would cause us to reassess.

prospectus you state that your executive officers, directors and 5% holders and their
affiliates will beneficially own approximately 50.0% or 51.1% of your common stock

7.We note per your response to prior comment 10 that your lenders have extended the
maturity date to 18 months following the closing of the initial public offering, and that
you are therefore no longer in default under the facility. We also note on page 63 that the
maturity date has been extended to June 30, 2021, which does not appear to be an
extension since you also state here that the original due date was June 2022. Please clarify
the loan's maturity date and disclose here, and in Note 7 to the financial statements.
Additionally, if you intend to use offering proceeds for repayment, please explain this
under "Use of proceeds" on page 13 of the Summary. Lastly, if the maturity date is June
2021, please disclose the consequences of non-repayment.

Amendment No. 2 to Offering Statement on
Form 1-A
Filed August 8, 2017
File No. 024-10718
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Thank you for your comments of August 4, 2017 regarding the
Offering Statement of Denim.LA, Inc. (the “Company”). We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your comments.
Risk Factors, page 7
Investors may be subject to an Investment Management Agreement
…, page 9
1. We note your response to comment 3 and reissue the comment.
Please add a section to the securities being offered section specifically discussing the investment management agreement. Such
disclosure should set forth the material terms of the investment management agreement, including the provisions that limit stockholder
rights. For example only, we note provision 8.2.2 requires each purchaser to reimburse the manager for expenses in connection with
defending a claim covered under the indemnification clause. Also clarify whether the investment management agreement would allow
the manager to vote the securities following conversion into common stock. Clarify all fees or other forms of compensation, direct
or indirect, related to this investment management agreement.
The disclosure on Page 42 has been amended
to include additional summarization of the terms of the Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”). Further,
the Risk Factors on page 9 has been amended to include a discussion of the indemnification clause and effectiveness of the Agreement
following conversion to common stock.
As noted in the disclosure, SI Securities,
LLC is not receiving any compensation under the Agreement and is required to bear any administrative costs for acting under the
terms of the Agreement. The purpose of the Agreement is to act as a perk for issuers choosing to use SI Securities, LLC as a placement
agent for their offering under Regulation A.
As is the case with the Company here,
many companies considering use of Regulation A are smaller, or early-stage companies that do not have the resources to implement
a sophisticated investor relations program. Prior to the Regulation A offering, those issuers may only have experience with receiving
investment from institutional investors, or a limited number of accredited investors. In those instances, investor relations are
easily managed through email; taking on hundreds, or possibly thousands, of investors appears to be a daunting task that prevents
an issuer from considering use of Regulation A, even with the engagement of a registered transfer agent.
Under the Agreement, the Company also
receives certainty regarding the elective actions of investors subject to the Agreement. For instance, should the Company proceed
to a Registered offering in the future, it wants certainty that any classes of Preferred Stock are converted to Common Stock under
the terms of its Certificate of Incorporation. Without SI Securities, LLC being able to impose uniformity on all holders subject
to the Agreement following a vote, the Company may have experience shareholders from this Offering that have not converted their
Preferred Stock to Common Stock, potentially leading to additional compliance burdens.
The Company understands that communications
and voting may be facilitated through the services of its chosen transfer agent, but the additional investor management services
and certainty received by having investors subject to the Agreement provides worthwhile benefits to the Company.

Statement of Denim.LA, Inc. (the “Company”). We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your comments.
General
1. We partially reissue prior comment 1. Please revise the cover
page and the Form 1-A throughout to include in this offering the common stock underlying the Series A preferred stock.
The offering circular and exhibits have been updated to reflect
that the Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock may convert is being qualified in this offering as well as the Series
A Preferred Stock. Amendments have been made to the cover page, offering summary, securities being offered, and plan of distribution,
as well as to the Form of Subscription Agreement, and Opinion as to the validity of the securities.
Exhibits
2. We note your disclosure on page 14 that you have obtained
waivers from all major shareholders regarding their right of first offer. Please file these waivers as exhibits or tell us why
you are not required to do so. See Item 17(6)(b)(i) of Form 1-A.
The consent to the waiver of the Right of First Offer of
Corey Epstein and Mark Lynn has been included as an exhibit to the offering circular.
Page 1 of 2
Under Item 17(6)(b)(i) of Form 1-A, any contract to which
directors, officers, promoters, voting trustees, securityholders named in the offering statement, or underwriters are parties must
be filed, even if such contract is made in the ordinary course of business. In the course of receiving stockholder approval of
amending the certificate of incorporation and approving the offering under Tier 2 of Regulation A, all Major Investors provided
consent to waive their contractual Right of First Offer. Major Investors include all stockholders that hold 735,000 shares of stock
or greater. Of those Major Investors, only Corey Epstein and Mark Lynn meet the standard under Item 17(6)(b)(i) of director, officer,
promoter, voting trustee, securityholder named in the offering statement, or underwriter.

File No. 024-10535
Dear Mr. Reynolds:
Thank you for your comments of June 6, 2016 regarding the Offering
Statement of Denim.LA, Inc. (the “Company”). We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your comments.
General
1. We note your response in prior comment 1 and your disclosure
regarding the convertible nature of the securities. Please revise the Form 1-A to include in the offering being qualified pursuant
to Regulation A the common stock underlying the Series A preferred stock in this offering. See the Note to Rule 251(a) of Regulation
A. For example, your cover page should include up to 12,500,000 shares of common stock. Lastly, please reconcile the maximum offering
amount with the disclosure in Section 1(d) of the Subscription Agreement.
As requested, the cover page has been amended to identify
that the offering will include up to 12,500,000 shares of common stock. The maximum number of shares identified in the Subscription
Agreement has been modified to confirm with the Offering Statement.
Cover Page, page i
2. We note your response to prior comment 3. Please revise the
cover page to provide the table in the form set forth in Item 1(e) of Part II of Form 1-A. In addition, we note that the duration
of the offering may be up to one year. However, as we previously noted, the right of first refusal provides 10 days for major shareholders
to exercise their right of first refusal and then the company would only have 90 days under this provision to sell those securities.
Please reconcile, given the limitations on the duration of the offering due to the right of first refusal and explain how the offering
will be prompt and continuous under Rule 415(a)(1)(ix) of Regulation S-K.
Page 1 of 4
The table has been modified to correspond with the sample
table format in Item 1(e) of Part II of Form 1-A. The right of first offer does not pose any limitations on the duration of the
offering. Under the terms of the right of first offer, the right resets every 90 days should an offering extend beyond the original
90 day window. Nevertheless, all Major Investors have waived their right of first offer to any securities being sold under this
offering qualified by the Commission for the entire duration of the offering. The Offering Circular has been amended to reflect
this waiver and to provide additional clarity on the terms of the right of first offer.
Exhibits
3. We note your response to prior comment 5. Please file your
lease agreement as an exhibit. See Item 17(6)(b)(iv) of Form 1-A.
The lease agreement has been included as an exhibit to the
Offering Circular.
4. We note your response to prior comment 9. It appears that
you are substantially dependent on your outsourcing agreement with Newgistics. Please file this agreement as an exhibit. See Item
17(6)(b)(ii) of Form 1-A.
We respectfully submit that the Company is not substantially
dependent on the logistics agreement with Newgistics. Per the agreement with Newgistics, the company pays Newgistics a minimum
of $3,500 per month for storing, picking, and packing the Company’s products, plus shipping fees. Once the company is over
the $3,500 minimum threshold, the Company will pay the sum of the different rates for each service, such as receiving pallets,
cases or units, as well as order handling, pick and pack, inventory stock are based on bins or pallets, lot tracking, returns,
and specific projects, such as special assembly or pick and pack instructions. The Company can also choose from different shipping
rates based on the rules the Company creates for shipping zones, shipping priority, and delivery times. Based on these rules, the
most cost effective carrier for the delivery is selected.
The Company has reviewed the requirements of Item 17(6)(b)(ii)
and has concluded that this agreement is not a material contract that is required to be filed. This logistics agreement is one
that ordinarily accompanies the kind of business conducted by the Company (selling products to consumers over the internet) and
it was made in the ordinary course of business in an arm’s length transaction. The Company had the option of choosing one
of at least 15 different providers of the same service, and chose Newgistics based on cost and other criteria that were beneficial
to the Company, but were in no way unique to Newgistics.
Page 2 of 4
The Company further does not believe that its obligations
under the agreement with Newgistics are material. For instance, in 2015, fees paid to Newgistics represented only 7.5% of our total
operating expenses ($176,801 of $2,357,306). Further, the Company can terminate the contract with Newgistics easily. The Company
is required to give notice to Newgistics 90 days prior to the end of the initial three year term of the agreement, or 90 days before
the end of the one year renewal term. If Newgistics is not able to perform satisfactorily according to the terms of the agreement,
the Company will be able to terminate the agreement on 30 days’ notice. From an operational standpoint, the termination of
the Newgistics contract starts a transition period of approximately seven days that would allow the Company to be up-and-running
with a new logistics provider. For example, the Company can contract with a new provider on July 1, 2016 and give notice to Newgistics
that same day. The Company would then instruct Newgistics to ship almost all of the Company’s inventory to the new provider
right away. Newgistics would keep enough inventory on hand to fill orders for seven days (July 8, 2016) after which the new provider
would begin filling orders. The Company anticipates that the cost of switching providers would be approximately $55,000, which,
in light of the Company’s anticipated revenues and credit facilities, is not a material cost.
The Company believes that its relationship with Newgistics
is no different from the relationship that other internet retailers that have filed offerings under Regulation A with the Commission
have with that company. The Company notes that BeautyKind Holdings, Inc. (File No. 024-10524) similarly represented to the Staff
that it was not substantially dependent on its contract with Newgistics and did not file that contract.
5. We note your related party loans receivable with Mark Lynn
and Corey Epstein. Please file copies of all written agreements or summaries of oral arrangements pursuant to Item 17(6)(b)(i).
In this regard, we also not the officer stock issuance and promissory note and the $70,000 loan with Mark Lynn.
The outstanding loans to Mark Lynn and Corey Epstein have
been consolidated into promissory notes issued on June 6, 2016 and June 7, 2016 respectively. Those notes have been filed as exhibits
to the offering circular. The terms of the officer stock issuance to Mark Lynn were provided in the employment agreement filed
as Exhibit 6.2. Included in this filing as Exhibit 6.10 is the promissory note with Mark Lynn that was forgiven.
6. We note that Section 6 of the subscription agreement indicates
that each investor consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State of California. Please disclose this provision in the risk
factors and highlight the impact to potential investors. For example, it appears this provision may limit a shareholder’s
ability to bring a claim against you.
The Offering Circular has been updated to include this risk
factor.

CORRESP 1 filename1.htm Mr. John Reynolds Assistant Director Office of Beverages, Apparel, and Mining Division of Corporate Finance United States Securities and Exchange Commission Washington, D.C. 20549 May 31, 2016 Re: Denim.LA, Inc. Offering Statement on Form 1-A Filed March 23, 2016 File No. 024-10535 Dear Mr. Reynolds: Thank you for your comments of April 14, 2016 regarding the Offering Statement of Denim.LA, Inc. We appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns and amend the Offering Statement as required to provide for full disclosure to prospective investors. Responses to your questions are identified in italicized text following the restatement of the question below. General 1. We note that the Series A preferred stock is convertible into common stock at any time. Please revise the Form 1-A to also include the common stock underlying the Series A preferred stock in this offering. See the Note to Rule 251(a) of Regulation A. The Offering Circular has been amended to reflect the convertible nature of the securities in this Offering. 2. Please revise to include the auditors’ consent to the use of their audit report as an exhibit to the filing. Refer to Part III - Exhibits, Item 17.11 of Form 1-A for further guidance. The consent letter from Artesian CPA has been included as an exhibit to the Offering Circular in the Company’s amended filing. Cover Page, page i 3. We note on your cover page that you are offering up to 11,111,111 shares of Series A preferred stock. However, on page 41 you state you are offering shares of Series Seed preferred stock. Please reconcile. Also, please revise the cover page to provide the table in the form set forth in Item 1(e) of Part II of Form 1-A. In addition, please revise the cover page and plan of distribution to discuss the right of first refusal as referenced on page 14. Lastly, we note that the offering will terminate after 150 days. However, the right of first refusal allows the major investors 10 days to exercise their right of first refusal and then the company has 90 days to offer the remaining securities. Please reconcile. Page 41 has been amended to correctly identify the offering as being for shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company. Additionally, page 14 has been amended to reflect the fact that the Company will seek waivers of the existing Right of First Offer from existing stockholders who have such right. With regard to the format of the table on the cover page, we note that the instructions to complete the Form 1-A provides guidance that the table must only be presented in substantially the tabular format indicated. The format chosen, which has been previously accepted by the Commission, identifies the critical considerations for each investor – the per share price, the maximum number of shares being sold, and the expected proceeds before expenses and commissions. Investors are then directed to the Plan of Distribution for a full discussion of the offering mechanics and the details of the commission arrangement with North Capital Private Securities. The inclusion of this information is done in a manner substantially similar to the format contained in the Form 1-A instructions. As such, we respectfully submit that the format used meets the requirement of Form 1-A. Risk Factors, page 6 4. We note that you are authorized to issue up to 49,000,000 shares of common stock and that based on the dilution chart on page 10 if all of the outstanding securities are converted into common stock and if this offering is sold in its entirety and converted into common stock, you would have outstanding 53,387,972 of common stock. Please consider adding a risk factor that addresses the concern that you may not have enough authorized shares if all of your outstanding instruments are converted to common stock and how this may potentially limit the ability to convert the preferred shares issued in this offering. This issue has been resolved by the filing of the Company’s most recent Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which authorizes the Company to issue up to 79,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s Property, page 25 5. Please state briefly the location and general character of your material physical properties. In this regard, include information regarding the suitability, adequacy, productive capacity and extent of utilization of the properties. See Item 8 of Form 1-A. Additionally, please file your lease agreement as an exhibit. See Item 17(6)(b)(iv) of Form 1-A for reference. The Offering Circular has been amended to include increased detail on the property and facilities of the company and its current logistics contractors. With regard to the lease agreement for its West Hollywood office space, the Company respectfully believes that it is not required to file this agreement as a material contract. The lease in question was made in the ordinary course of business, and the Company believes that equivalent office space would be easily available at a comparable price. The Company does not use this facility for production or storage of its products. Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers, page 32 6. We note the options granted to the executive officers as referenced in the last paragraph of this section. Please include such compensation in the table as other compensation. Additional disclosure has been added to the compensation table to reflect that the exercise price of the options when granted was intended to be the market price of the shares. Interests of management and Others in Certain Transactions, page 35 7. Please disclose all related party transactions for your last two and current fiscal years where the amount involved is the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of your average total assets of the last two fiscal years. See Item 13 of Form 1-A for guidance. The Offering Circular has been amended to reflect all related party transactions. Statements of Operations, page 48 8. In your statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, you have presented a loss on disposal of assets of $135,623 and a loss on inventory write-off of $398,748 as components of other income (expense). Please revise to reflect the inventory write-off as a component of cost of revenues as required by the guidance in ASC 420-10-S99-3. Additionally, the loss on disposal of assets should be included as a component of your loss from operations. Refer to the guidance outlined in ASC 360-10-45-4 and ASC 360-10-45-5. Corrections to the financial statements have been made as suggested. Note 3 to the financial statements has also been amended to disclose the correction from the previously filed version. Exhibits 9. We note on page 8 that Newgistics stores and ships all of your product. Please file your outsourcing agreement with Newgistics as an exhibit or advise. See Item 17(6)(b)(ii) of Form 1-A. The Company believes that it was important to provide investors with information regarding their current logistics provider. However, the Company respectfully submits that this agreement is one in which ordinarily accompanies the business of direct-to-consumer online retail and does not meet the standard of materiality. The company’s business is not substantially dependent on the provision of services by Newgistics. The services performed by Newgistics include storing the Company’s products, packing orders when they come in, fulfilling those orders, and processing returns of merchandise. Current major competitors to Newgistics that the Company could turn to include FedEX and UPS. Other smaller competitors dedicated to online retail include Whiplash Merchandising Logistics, and Amplifier, Inc. In fact, as a greater share of economic activity moves into online ordering, there are a greater number of fulfillment services available to companies like Denim.LA, Inc. it is possible that in the future the Company may find it advantageous to move to a different fulfillment service provider at the right terms, even if it meant a short term impact on the financial results of the Company.
