With RAW Mazarine G-Star goes beyond the modern history of denim, unveiling the denim roots which go way further back than American workwear. Inspired by Toile de Chine, G-Star designed a range of double-dyed denim styles with an intense blue colour. Double dyed means that, unlike denim today, both the warp and the weft of the fabric are dipped in indigo. Since there are no real samples of Toile de Chine anymore, the G-Star denim designers reconstructed the initial colour. Toile de Chine is a particular fabric weave from the far East. It was imported into Europe and used to create some of the workwear in Europe. It was a tight weave and very durable. It made it a right choice for intense labor work as it did not stain due to both warp and weft being colored . And , of course , it was in Indigo. Its tough weave and durability made it an appropriate choice for the intense labor work. 
G-star took all aspects including the number of dips in indigo, the tightness of the weaving, and fading experiments. That is also why none of RAW Mazarine fabric is alike and has multiple shades; it reflects the research conducted to recreate this fabric.
