We have always loved Nudie Jeans – not only because of their wonderful denims but also their commitment to environment with their 100% organic collections. Besides, what is admirable about them is their openness in about the intricacies of their jeans – a quality not visible in information shared by many brands. We love to know how they created those special effects on their jeans, where they got their fabrics from and where the jeans were made . It gives a complete bio on the jeans and actually helps to generate interest and sales.
We are detailing here some of the pieces from their AW’14/15 denim collection. The washes are great , with a nice play on the colors with color wefts, coats, overdyes , bleaches and more.
