DENIM EDIT:

Recognize this ? Buying the right jeans can sometimes be quite a challenge, but when we can provide you with suitable advice, we hope to completely eliminate these struggles for you! In order to stay up-to-date with the latest denim fits, fabrics and production developments, we regularly let our brands inform us with behind the scenes information. Which fits are a must-have at the moment?; Which models can we expect next season?; What developments are a factory going through as we speak ? In addition to the fact that this information is of great value in the sales process, it also helps us to update, improve and expand our denim collection . We largely put together our denim range by following a few important core values: wearability, fashion and boldness . This actually means that in addition to a number of wonderful trousers with a great fit of high quality, we also offer a number of cool eye-catchers with a perfect, sometimes edgy fit. Fashion, and especially denim, is of course something that we can and want to wear every day and at the most diverse moments, but we also love to go all out! Sustainability is of course also high on our agenda, you can read more about this later in this blog.

EACH
PAIR IS
UNIQUE

A modern, feminine and vintage silhouette _CoH

The last brand update we received as a team came from Agolde and Citizens of Humanity . We had an educational evening but also enjoyed (after a long time!) a delicious bite and a nice drink together. Of course we don't keep this denim inspiration to ourselves and are happy to share all our findings with you in this summary blog!

To learn a little more about these fashion labels, this video is the perfect introduction to creative directors of Agolde and Citizens of Humanity .

In the CoH factory in Los Angeles, the entire process takes place under one roof: processing denim fabrics, tailoring the materials, production of all jeans, quality control and inspections of the collection. Inspiration for the latest collection is found at CoH in traveling, researching, vintage shopping, but also every daily event can inspire them in designs that people will be excited about, as well as being together with friends and family. The architect Norman Jaffe from the 80's (Southampton) is also a source of inspiration for the latest collection. The connection between nature, shapes, strong geometric lines, a palette of neutral colors and materials, a strong control of light and a modernistic detailing are all characteristics of Jaffe's designs.

80's power and 90's minimalism _Agolde

The focus at Agolde is on sustainability from start to finish. So from innovative developments of denim fabrics to the processing and finishing of the jeans, the washing, finishing, quality control etc.

At CoH and Agolde they are very aware that the processing of denim, in the traditional way, is very polluting and a major contributor to large-scale environmental pollution. But where other denim brands say they want to work on this in the future (awareness is the beginning!) these two brands have already made great progress in making their development process more sustainable. Laser techniques that Citizens of Humanity already clearly communicates about in its brand story are progressive in the production of jeans. The processing of denim, the various washes, destroyed elements and prints, are applied more efficiently by laser technology and replace the old technique of the various 'baths' with polluting chemicals.

Now for the elephant in the room : the price of our denims . The quality of the denim fabrics used is paramount: the density of the fabric, the quality and origin of the fibers and the amount of synthetic textile fiber (stretch) processed in the fabrics determine the price. The production and the associated labor costs (and costs of transport, etc.) are largely determined by the fact that these top brands do everything under one roof. An additional advantage: they are on top of quality controls, production speed, but also humanitarian provisions and employment conditions are excellently organized. Each pair of jeans passes through an average of 800 hands of fairly paid and skilled workers. And of course, sustainability and innovative production options are very expensive and often have a long trial-and-error period behind them. But all these points together make a pair of jeans from Citizens and Agolde an honest, beautiful and high-quality product.

In our denim collection you will find various models with characteristic fits and interesting details.
