Mossimo Supply Co. High Rise Cut-Off Denim Jean Shorts
Mossimo Supply Co. (Target Brand) · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Shorts > Denim
Era / Decade
Mid-2010s (circa 2014-2017); identified by the specific heat-pressed interior label design commonly used before Target discontinued Mossimo in favor of Wild Fable/Universal Thread.
Material
Cotton blend with Spandex/Elastane; typical of the brand's 'High Rise Short' line which featured stretch denim for a fitted silhouette. Features brass-tone hardware and classic 5-pocket styling.
Condition
Very Good; the denim maintains its original dark wash with factory-whiskering. The raw hem appears original to the design rather than post-purchase wear. No visible staining, though minor pilling on the interior waistband may be present.
Demand Level
Moderate; demand peaks in Spring/Summer months. Mossimo has a nostalgic appeal for 'Target-era' shoppers but is generally considered a 'bread-and-butter' item rather than a high-profit flip.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$8.00 - $15.00
Estimated Retail Value
$19.99 - $24.99
Comparable Sales
Similar Mossimo denim shorts consistently sell for $10-$12 on Poshmark and Mercari. Bundled listings containing multiple pairs of Target-brand shorts often sell for $20-$25.
Description
Retro-style high-waisted denim shorts from Mossimo Supply Co. featuring a medium-dark wash with light whiskering at the hips. These shorts have a flattering high-rise fit, classic 5-pocket construction, and a trendy frayed/cut-off hem. Perfect for summer festivals or casual wear.
Key Features
High-rise fit is consistently in demand; classic medium-dark wash; raw hem adds a vintage/distressed aesthetic; discontinued brand with a loyal following for fit consistency.
Authenticity Indicators
Heat-stamped inside label with 'High Rise Short' and 'Pantalón corto de tiro alto' text. Confidence Level: High (this is a mass-market budget brand rarely replicated).
Flaws to Note
Fraying at the hem is a design feature but may catch further during washing; check for 'thigh rub' wear between the legs which can thin the denim in this specific brand.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or Depop. These platforms are ideal for fast-fashion and budget-friendly labels like Target brands where shipping can be bundled.
Selling Tips
Photograph the item front and back against a clean background; include the waist, rise, and inseam measurements in the description. Use keywords like 'high waisted,' 'festival,' 'distressed,' and 'cut off.' Best sold as part of a 'bundle' deal (e.g., 3 for $25) to justify shipping costs for the buyer.
