Eric Goldstein and Maurizio Donadi’s Transnomadica Partner on Denimrepair.com

Two lifelong denim careers unite under one shared belief: great jeans deserve to live longer

LOS ANGELES / NEW YORK — August 10, 2026 —

Eric Goldstein and Maurizio Donadi’s Transnomadica have joined forces as partners in Denimrepair.com — uniting two of the industry’s most respected denim careers under one shared conviction: great jeans deserve to live longer.

Eric founded Denimrepair.com in 2015 with a simple conviction: “Mending is better than ending.” With more than three decades designing, manufacturing, and retailing jeans, he was one of the original creators of Ralph Lauren’s RRL, spent 11 years at Gap where he helped develop the 1969 brand, and co-founded the acclaimed Jean Shop. Through Denimrepair.com he has built a specialized service that properly restores your favorite jeans— using traditional darning and expert techniques so the fit, character, and story of the jeans remain intact.

Maurizio brings an equally deep and complementary history. Over a career spanning Benetton, Diesel, Armani, RalphLauren (where he helped shape Double RL), and Levi’s (leading Levi’s Vintage Clothing and Made & Crafted), he has become one of the industry’s most respected voices on denim heritage, workwear, and the value of pre-loved garments. He later founded Atelier & Repairs and Transnomadica, platforms dedicated to transforming existing clothing rather than producing more, and he continues that work maintaining one of the world’s most significant personal archives of vintage pieces.

Together, Eric and Maurizio combine hands-on repair expertise with deep archival knowledge, design sensibility, and a shared commitment to circularity. Their partnership strengthens Denimrepair.com’s ability to give jeans a second (and third) life — restoring, refining, and celebrating the wear that makes denim personal.

This is more than a business partnership. It is two denim lifers deciding that the best jeans are the ones already in your closet, and that the highest form of respect for the craft is to keep them going.

Mending is better than ending.

We’re just getting started.
