Who made my favorite jeans and can I get more?

A few years ago, I picked up an amazing pair of jeans thrift shopping and they quickly became my favorite pair. Can you help me reveal their mysterious, perhaps eldritch origin?

I suspect the stitching and bleaching were part of the manufacturing process, but they might have been modified at some point before ending up at the thrift store. Another challenge is that I have no idea when they were manufactured, they could have been sitting around somewhere for years before ending up at the thrift store where I bought them.

The logo says "Indigo Gold" on top of two gold Gs (the right one reversed) facing each other. The fly button has "INDIGOGOLD" repeating inside the circumference, and the rivets have just the two facing Gs. According to the label, they were made in Malta. Google searches for "GG", "Indigo Gold" in various combinations with "jeans", and "pants" have proven fruitless.

Since the mystery may remain unsolved, I'm also soliciting recommendations for similar loose, wide-leg, fancy jeans (bonus points if they have a secret back pocket behind the regular left back pocket).

Any leads will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Maybe this? the logo looks similar.

Mavi also has "indigo gold" jeans, and not a ton of back pocket stitching, but no GG logo.

Though I have not used any of them myself, there are multiple "clone my favorite jeans" businesses per Google. This is also the kind of thing a local tailor or seamstress would do, at least the sewing part.

Best answer: Here's another pair of jeans from the same label. The collaboration between Junya Watanabe and Comme des Garçons seems to be what you're looking for, although I couldn't find your exact jeans.

Best answer: Try putting out various e-bay alerts for the brand and the RN number
