Sergio Valente is an American clothing brand best known for juniors' and women's designer jeans and stretch-denim fabrics. It is currently owned by the privately held Seattle Pacific Industries Inc., founded in 1981, which additionally owns the Reunion and Saltaire menswear brands and the Unionbay teen-clothing brand.

The jean's supposed original designer - 'Sergio Valente' - is fictitious. Mr. Valente, in fact, never existed. The actual creator of the Sergio Valente brand jeans, was Eli Kaplan, president of Englishtown Sportswear Ltd.[1]

Seattle Pacific Industries is based in Kent, Washington, near Seattle. Sergio Valente has fashion showrooms in New York City, and Los Angeles. The brand dates to 1975, and was relaunched by Seattle Pacific in the 1990s.

Its jeans are sold in the United States, UK and Japan.

Seattle Pacific's president in 2004 was Steve Ritchey.[2]
