Marc Nelson Denim opens Florida location
July 4, 2021

KNOXVILLE - Knoxville fashion house Marc Nelson Denim has expanded, opening a second location in the Tampa Bay area. “The Studio” store and showroom will feature men’s accessories and products, Marc Nelson brand denim, and bespoke clothing.

Situated in a historic house at 716 E. Lime Street in the garden district of Lakeland, Florida, The Studio was designed to provide a unique experience for Marc Nelson Denim customers. Local artist Aaron Corbitt was commissioned to create artwork for three rooms that offer different facets of Marc Nelson Denim: the Johnny Cash Room, housing the Marc Nelson line of denim; the Bob Marley Room, where bespoke tailoring takes place; and the Muhammad Ali Room, where customers waiting to be fitted can watch sports television on custom leather chairs made to look like boxing gloves. Antique furniture and fixtures contribute to the private club environment, and customers will be invited to linger and enjoy a glass of whiskey with owner and designer Marcus Hall.

“We are focusing on appointment only, one-on-one visits with our customers,” said Hall. “We help them find pieces that fit not only their bodies, but their personalities.”

The Knoxville native is looking forward to the expansion. “We want to help gentlemen in Lakeland and the surrounding areas feel their best,” said Hall. “We are excited to join the Lakeland community and hope to be here for years to come.”

Founded in 2010 by Marcus Hall in response to the off-shoring of the American denim industry, Marc Nelson Denim is a Knoxville, Tennessee-based designer clothing brand emphasizing high-quality fabrics, customizable fit and small-batch production. Focused on the customer experience, the company’s trademark red slash signifies the brand's approach to duality: Southern comfort with a contemporary edge. Marc Nelson Denim has locations in Knoxville, Tennessee and Lakeland, Florida.
