BLUE COLLECTION:
I used to be
a pair of jeans
Blue Collection is our cotton-based textile collection made partly from recycled denim. One meter of fabric is made of one pair of jeans plus an additional amount of virgin hemp and cotton. The recycled content ranges from 63-72%. If is crafted in Spain using at least 30% renewable energy.
The collection offers four variants, each of them unique: one in a solid colour and three with stripes. By giving discarded denim pieces a new life, we help to keep these materials in use for longer. Learn more on the process below.
Denim is one of the most common fabrics used in today’s world. Since huge volumes of denim jeans are produced and consumed annually, the environmental concerns associated with their production are also high. However, the increased awareness of textile recycling has paved the way for using recycled materials in new denim productions.
Any type of denim apparel item can be recycled – jeans, jackets, shirts, skirts etc. -whether it is coloured, embellished or printed. The denim can even be ripped, stained or in scraps.
After collecting denim products from various sources, the items are sorted based on their condition and if not usable for resale or donation, they are shredded into smaller pieces. This shredding process breaks down the denim fabric into manageable fibres.
The shredded denim undergoes further processing to extract the cotton fibres. These fibres can then be used to create new textiles.
The extracted cotton fibres are spun into yarns, which are then woven into new fabrics. Hemp is added to create the different types of stripes.
And finally - meet Skinny, Baggy, Bootcut and Flared, the superstars of our Blue Collection! Each of them unique and usable for your very own pouffe or cushion.
