denim

Invented and patented in 1873 by Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss, denim had humble beginnings before it became an American symbol. The fabric was initially used to make work wear for miners, woodcutters, and other laborers. Durable and high-quality, the material also changed over time. It aged with wear to become a one-of-a-kind apparel item that showcased the wearer’s personal journey. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, blue jeans became increasingly more popular and then transformed into a wardrobe staple in the US and across the world. The era of denim design had begun.

Apart from the distinctive features of the material, its versatility is undeniable. Bags, shirts, and even shoes joined the classic pants. Various denim design options enhanced the possibilities of the fabric further. Traditional craftsmanship and special finishes complement new technology, while state-of-the-art technology make the most of denim. Many brands use organic cotton and employ local craftspeople to make blue jeans and denim products, bringing the original quality and durability of the material back to life. Products cater to the taste and requirements of all kinds of customers, from the average Joe who just wants a great pair of blue jeans to denim purists.

Modern denim design celebrates the origins of the fabric while providing creative ways to wear it. Minimalism allows the texture, look, and feel of denim to take center stage. Timeless design ensures that a denim product will outlast trends and seasonal styles. The latest technology also improves the  quality and function of this popular material. Finally, eco-friendly systems, sustainable practices, and ethical manufacturing make modern denim products better than ever before.
