The video was shared on TikTok by @bargello_clothingstore on January 14, 2026, where it garnered a staggering 1.5M views and nearly 3.6K comments from a stunned digital audience.
The clip features a male employee holding up the heavily distressed denim while a woman describes the garment's unique features.

Despite the large amount of missing material, the narrator pointed out that the pair includes six functional pockets.

SA is stunned by the nearly invisible Turkish jeans
The clip gained many views and comments from an online community that reacted with a mixture of disbelief and hilarity over the sheer lack of denim on the trousers. Many viewers were shocked by the design and wondered who would purchase pants that consist primarily of pockets and side seams. Some asked the salesperson to post a video of a client wearing the jeans just to see how they would look in person. One user jokingly suggested that the shop should offer an 80% discount since 80% of the material was missing.
